Hi krtibdewal,
First off, a 660/Q50 is a strong score (it's right around the 80th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into Oxford (although that score is at the lower end of the spectrum for that School). Since it's in line with your other Official Scores, this just might be your ability level. Since you're short on time, low on CATs and you don't want to spend any more money, there's likely no quick way to get you to 700+. As such, you might want to work with this score and try to put together some well-designed application(s).
You would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:

Actually I found a quick one without spending money. I chilled for 2 weeks, took the GMAT several days ago and got 710. I guess you didn't spot that for all my CATs my Verbal was higher than 32 and sometimes reached 40+. So, by stating that 660 this is my ability level, after taking into consideration that I could easily score Q48+ on the real thing and for all my MCATs I had ~Q44-Q46, you made an obvious mistake. If you still think that GMAT score is predictable, then it seems that you are wrong, since you predicted than 700+ is unlikely without any further preparation. What is strange is that I actually did not prepare at all. Cheers dude, and I would suggest other people to
NOT take
EMPOWER GMAT courses, since their tutors are having problems with probability questions
P.s: As a matter of fact, I finished Verbal ~7 minutes earlier and still improved my Verbal score by around 10 points.
