How to improve my GMAT: from 720 Q50V38 to target 750-760 in 3-4 weeks

Hello, Henriquelnl. Welcome to the community. Congratulations on a fine performance. Many first-time test-takers are shocked when their results may fall below their practice results, as sometimes happens due to test-day anxiety, poorly simulated testing conditions during practice runs, or any of a number of reasons. Your official practice tests fell perfectly in line with your eventual score. If you have access to the others, you should probably take them in the weeks leading up to the exam. I would probably do one a week, with prep work in between. Since Quant seems to be in good order, you will have to take the time to address your weaker areas in Verbal especially. In RC, do you find yourself missing more questions from passages on science, history, or business? Do you miss detail questions or inference questions more often? In CR, are you worse at strengthen/weaken questions, boldface or highlighted questions, assumptions, the list goes on... In SC, are you getting caught up in the grammar, or is it a lack of appreciation for the vital meaning of the sentence that seems to throw you off? In short, there are all sorts of different areas to explore, but you will have to be disciplined in tracking which ones cause you the most grief and in deciding which ones need to take precedence. Whatever materials you are using to practice, see if you can wrap your head around what is making each incorrect answer incorrect (way more useful than just memorizing the correct answer). As often as you can, track down the same questions on GMAT Club and see what the community has to say about them. There are some really insightful comments made by Experts and regular community members alike. I am amazed at the breadth and depth of many of the responses.

You could try a guide in a pinch. I mean, 3-4 weeks is enough time to put a good guidebook to use. Such an approach could backfire, though, perhaps shaking your foundation and approach and not giving you enough time to implement the new techniques you would encounter. If I were in a similar situation, I suppose I would drill for proficiency across various levels of mixed official questions until I felt the probabilities were consistent: perhaps 95-100 percent accurate for Easy questions; 90+ for Medium; and 80+ for Hard. This is where the OG and Wiley Efficient Learning can come in handy. Your progress might not be linear, but you have plenty of people to bounce ideas off of, and I imagine that with a focus on qualitative study over x-hours-a-day study, you could make steady gains that would put you in the running for your target score.

Whatever you decide, I wish you the best of luck. Please keep the community posted.
