Hi! I'm in a bit of a rut -- I have been diligently reviewing since January almost everyday. I have gone through the MGMAT books (including questions), OG 13 Quant Questions, MGMAT Advanced Quant, and am now (supposedly) at the latter end of my review so I am doing the gmatclub questions here on the 600-700+ range organized per topic.
I keep a general error log and i have been doing very well in individual questions (under 2 mins and 80% accuracy), but when it comes to mock exams, I either bomb them and/or leave 1-2 questions unanswered per section.
My most recent GMAC mock exam, I scored a 660 (V35, Q44) with 2 questions unanswered in Verbal and 1 question unanswered in Quant. This left me very disheartened because a month ago my first mock was 650 and I can't believe I only got a 10-point increase from a month of reviewing. What is wrong with my review? Should I start overloading on mock exam practive vs question practice now?

Hi gjp2,
Many Test Takers who use a 'book heavy' study approach end up getting 'stuck' at a particular score level - and since your studies have been book heavy (and your recent CAT Scores are so similar) - there's a reasonable chance that this has happened to you as well. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. That having been said, you will have to make some adjustments to how you "see" (and respond to) the Test if your Score Goal is a lot higher. The pacing issue you described, while relatively minor, implies that there are some 'inefficiencies' in terms of how you're working through the Quant and Verbal sections.
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How many hours have you typically studied each week?
2) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs and how have you scored on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
3) What is your goal score?
4) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
6) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi! Thanks for your reply 
Studies:
1) How many hours have you typically studied each week?
Weekdays I study about 6-8 hours, weekends 5-6 hours on average.
2) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs and how have you scored on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
I've only taken 2 mock exams (Both from GMAC)
Feb 14 - 650 (V35, Q44)
Mar 27 - 660 (V35, Q45)
I have two more practice exams but I don't want to use them yet because I don't want to waste them.
What I did in the middle - I exposed myself to tougher questions, was more focused on keeping my error log, and reviewed flashcards.
Goals:
3) What is your goal score?
- I know it's a longshot but I was really hoping for a 740-750 range, especially because after I review the questions again I am able to arrive at the answer. And I am really feel like im leaving a lot of points on the floor.
4) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
- I want to take it 2 weeks from now. But i am willing to extend until I hit my goal score or at least above 710.
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
2020
6) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
