Hi Guys,
Hope you all are doing great!!
I took my first GMAT exam on Nov 2, 2019 and scored 690 (Q49, V34). Since I did't have much time to retake the exam, I went ahead with the remaining admission process and received an admit from Georgetown (although I got a deferral for the next year due to COVID-19).
This year, I had planned to retake the exam and score 740+ to get into a good college or get a scholarship in Georgetown. I recently took my exam (Sep 02, 2020) and scored 690 again (Q48, V36). I have never scored so badly on the quant section in any of the mocks I have taken. I have always scored in the range of 49-51. After having a look at my ESR report, I observed that I did pretty well in first quarter of the Q section (100% correct) and my performance dipped down in rest of the section in a linear way.
I was satisfied with my V score since I was obtaining a similar score in the mocks. However, I can do much better!
I am planning to take the exam again (in 20 days), and hope to achieve ~740 (Q51V38). I am pretty confident of my Quant skills but still need a solid advise from you guys to help me achieve my dream score.
Can anyone propose me a good advice/plan.

Nov 2, 2019: 690 (Q 49, V34)

Hope to receive some help soon!

I am almost in the same situation. Need to nudge Quant score a bit higher. I realised I spend longer on DS questions causing me to rush in other questions.

You indicated that your did "pretty well in first quarter" and that your "performance dipped down in rest of the section in a linear way". This is the part that should concern you the most. The performance dip is typical of many students who are generally otherwise comfortable with the questions, who go in believing they are well prepared and who end up being somewhat disappointed.
This may not be about doing more practice or solving harder questions. Instead, these problems may relate to lack of ability to manage both time and distributing your energy across the entire test.
You may consider doing focused timed exercises and aim to get correct answers later in the test. If you do well only in the first quarter and then fall linearly in the other quarters, then you may not be ready to be able to score at the levels you desire. Postponing the test could be one option. If that is not an option, then you may try to scale your work and keep your expectations lower. Managing the test experience can take a while to improve.
