Hello, desertEagle. I would argue that there is no one way to achieve such a competitive score. (As an aside, I would also argue that such a score is unnecessary for just about anybody, whether someone seeking to boost admissions chances or even someone seeking employment as a top-tier GMAT™ tutor.) In the interest of providing some guidance, though, I would urge you to comb through the 760+ Score subsection of the Share GMAT Experience forum. You might also want to take a look at this recap of 750+ scorers' resources by Sajjad1994, a post that falls in line with my earlier claim.
An ultra-competitive score requires a sound foundational understanding across the board. You cannot simply hope to brush certain weaknesses under the rug. You will have to practice... a lot, and your results will have to be consistent. Also, you will need to structure your study and review in a way that allows you to make genuine progress, with or without outside assistance. I have written a lengthy post on common GMAT™ preparation mistakes, and I think reading through it, as well as other posts in the thread, will prove helpful to you in your quest.
I know that getting a reading assignment is not always the most fun experience, but treat this as a process of discovery, and take notes. Good luck.

Hi desertEagle,
To start, the 770+ score is above the 99th percentile - meaning that most GMATers never score that high on the Official Exam. Thankfully, NO Business School actually requires that you score that high - so it's important to realize that the score that you "want" and the score that you "need" to get into your first-choice School are not the same thing. There's no harm in making that your Score Goal, but that type of result requires an incredibly high level of 'precision'; in simple terms, you can afford to get the really hard/weird questions wrong, but you have to correctly answer everything else. By extension, beyond knowing the content that is tested on the Exam, you also have to be well-versed in the Tactics, patterns and little 'secrets' of the GMAT.
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
