This sounds silly but this is really what I need to go from a 680 to a 700 (625/635 to 645).
I consistently score average on Q while quite above average on the other sections. If I can even bump up my Q a few points I will be in the money.
I don't know what to do to achieve this. I have done thousands of problems of quant, completed all of TTP.
I know that I have a process issue and not really a content issue. Conceptually I understand what I need to do. I just break down under the pressure of the test. I have about 1.5 weeks more of prep before I sit for my exam. I think I lack the "nimbleness" that is required of me on quant. I just am not hitting the mark on questions I know I can do without being under pressure.
The alternative is to try and get my DI up from an 80 to an 81-82. I don't really know how to prep for this besides trying to get better at DS (what I most typically am worst at on DI). I've identified that quant will be easier to define a scope to try and improve on.
What do you think? I feel so close yet I just can't quite hit the mark.... it's driving me crazy! I've spent weeks on exclusively reviewing Q problems I've missed just to receive the same score as before studying. I just need to go up a few points... what can I do that is realisitc?

One thing that may help is leveraging your error-log to identify/see which areas on Quant you're a bit slippery and where you may make repeated careless errors. Even for questions you got correct but took a lot of time on, perhaps check out their gmatclub threads to see if there may have been a shorter way to solve them. If you got a V84 with little effort/prep, seeing if there are any areas there you can improve (e.g. RC main idea questions) may be helpful as well.

Hi! I think you are pretty skilled at Quant and all you need is solve those questions with the time pressure. Best way to do that is practice in a time-based manner. This means solve 21 questions in 45 minutes on daily basis (multiple sets in a day) and it will certainly improve your score by quite a few points. Try doing this for 5 days, take a mock test and check the impact.
