Hi,
I am currently in the prep phase with a goal to have the exam by the middle of December (no date booked yet). My target score is between 700-710.
I have not finished brushing up on all the concepts yet, but I follow the Manhattan books for the concepts and the OG for the questions. (Still have a couple of topics like number properties and geometry left over in quant, and some in Sentence correction).
From the First CAT to the second (5 weeks apart), I improved my quant score from 30 to 40, however I seem to have reduced my verbal score from 33 to 27, which ultimately only led to a 20 point increase from 530 to 550.
I am looking for some tips in quant to move over the 40 mark to near a 47-48 mark. Any tips on material or strategies that I can follow will be appreciated. When it comes to verbal, while solving the OG questions (now on the Hard category), I get most of the RC and the CR questions right, however during the mock, I got a lot of these wrong. I am not sure if it's because I was overly stressed out since I was a bit focused on the quant and how I had the last couple of questions easy and was thinking about that score or not. But I would really like some tips here since I am used to having atlas a 70% correct rate. Sentence correct is another story! It seems on the mock that I got most of my sentence corrects correct but I know that it is my weakness, compared to CR and RC. I am trying to play to my strengths, but it looks like that didn't work today.
I am a list disappointed and would really just appreciate some support and ideas on how to bridge the gap between a 550 to a 700.
Thank you all so much!

for 700 keep a target of 48 in quant and 38 in Verbal.
47 can be achieved by simply gettign all easy and medium questions correct so make sure that you don't get any questions wrong in beginning of teh section. Time management needs to be worked and keep your focus only on Official books for this target.
For more personalized feedback, DM me.
You can seek some help in quant specially in DS by looking at videos on my youtube channel.
