Hi cgd2061,

Raising a 560 to a 700+ will take some serious effort - and you'll have to make some significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. Thankfully, you've given yourself plenty of time to study and improve. However, you're going to have to focus on learning/practicing new Tactics - if you continue to 'see' (and respond to) the GMAT in the same ways as before, then you will likely continue to score at this same general level.

1) How long has it been since you took the GMAT?
2) Have you purchased the Enhanced Score Report?

1) I took the GMAT on Nov. 5th.
2) Yes. The report indicated I was weak in arithmetic which I can attribute to careless mistakes. For verbal, my weakest area was CR, followed by SC. My official verbal score was very much in line with what I received on the 2 GMATprep practice exams. My quant score surprised me the most as I was typically scoring 40-41 in that section.

Hi cgd2061,

The ESR doesn't provide much information, but there could be some additional data points in that Report that could help to define other areas that you need to work on. If you are comfortable posting that Report here, then I'll be happy to review it with you (you could also PM it to me directly, if you prefer).
