I’m preparing for GMAT Focus with an immediate target score of ~615. My current sectional scores are Q78, V82, DI76 (overall 575) For this attempt, my main goal is to improve Quant to ~85, while maintaining Verbal and Data Insights at their current levels (I’ll keep practicing them so they don’t drop).
I’ve started by targeted Quant practice on GMAT Club using the data of gmat & official mock, but after that, I took another mock in gmat club.... my Quant score in mocks didn’t move much. From my error analysis, I see two types of mistakes:
• some due to incorrect approach / decision-making, and
• some due to actual concept gaps.
This is where my confusion starts.
I’m debating between:
• GMAT Club Mock Package (sectional mocks for all 3 sections; reputed, slightly harder than GMAT, cheaper), vs
• a full prep course like eGMAT / Target Test Prep or anything , which covers all 3 sections together with pre-curated questions and structured topic coverage.
My dilemma:
• GMAT Club has good-quality questions, but targeted practice requires manual effort to identify quality questions and fix concept gaps.
• A course may systematically cover all scenarios within a topic, which might help close concept gaps more cleanly — but it also forces me to go through Verbal and DI content that I mostly want to maintain, not rebuild.
• I’m not sure how much meta-support or structured lessons actually help at my level versus sectional mocks + self-analysis.
• Timeline is ~2 months, so I want maximum ROI, not syllabus completion.
Question:
For someone at Q78 aiming for Q85, with maintaining Verbal and DI at ~ 82 and ~76, is it better to:
• rely on GMAT Club sectional mocks + targeted repairs, or
• invest in a full 3-section course to systematically eliminate concept gaps?
Would really appreciate advice from people who’ve been in a similar score range.

Hi GK2722,
Although I haven’t personally been in a similar score range for Quant, my suggestion would be to use something like the GMAT Club Math Book or GMAT Manhattan All The Quant to quickly refine the concepts you need to work on. I feel this is a much faster way to study and lets you extract the most value in less time.
If you’re not someone who likes reading, then a full prep course would be a better choice in your case.
After that, you can move on to the GMAT Club practice forums to strengthen your application of those concepts in each Quant topic you’re struggling with.
Once you’re consistently hitting ~90% accuracy on 705–805 level questions across all topics, then you can try attempting the GMAT Club mocks to stress test everything you’ve learned and achieve your desired score.

Hi GK2722,
There are some great points in hr1212's post. However, have you considered working with a tutor as well? Personal tutoring is the gold standard for prep, and given your timelines and what you're looking for, this may be the most efficient way forward.
Also, to be clear, although I am a tutor, I specialise in verbal.
