Hi PiWorld17,

I’m glad you reached out, and I’m happy to help. So, 620 is a great start; however, looking at your current study routine, you need to ensure that you avoid the approach of what I call “practice first and figure the rest out later” -- in other words, doing practice problems before understanding the concepts on which those problems are based, and thus trying to learn solely from reading solutions to problems. Trying to learn in such a way will leave gaps in your knowledge and impede your progress. Instead of studying that way, consider taking a more structured and linear approach to your prep. Within each topic, begin with the foundations and progress toward more advanced concepts. Once you feel that you have improved your quant and verbal skills, you can resume taking practice exams.

If you’d like some more specific advice on how to study for GMAT quant and verbal, feel free to reach out, and I’ll be happy to help. You also may find it helpful to read the following articles about how to score a 700+ on the GMAT and how to study for the GMAT while working a demanding job.

Good luck!

As studying materials, I would use the OG, and, as mock exams, I would do the MGMAT mock exams and again OG.
You might want to get practice tests 3-6 (GMAT Official Practice Exams 3 to 6).
