Hi people
I have got my GMAT on 22nd September. I am currently stuck at 670-680 range, Q 50-51 and V is invariably 28-31. Since I just have a week left, can anyone suggest me what to do? I typically get 15 questions wrong in verbal section, whose bifurcation is SC- 6-8, RC- 6-8 and CR 1-2 wrong.
In quants, I get around 3-4 wrong, almost all being DS!
Need some insights on how to increase the score, my target score is 720.

For SC, memorizing commonly tested idioms could be helpful. For RC, becoming familiar with how inference questions work could be useful as well. If you feel your fundamentals are solid, consider working on your solving approach. May boost your score a bit. Had a 6-hour student who went from a similar Verbal score (V31) to a V40 in about 30 days for example. There may not be enough time but if you found a study buddy who is strong on Verbal and needs help with Quant, that could be a good fit. Taking some time off work and/or getting a reduced workload may be worth looking into as well.

All the best on your test.

The easiest way forward with the limited time would be to hit SC hard. Go through a test prep company's complete grammar material while focusing on how the concepts are applied in official questions. Meanwhile keep practicing everything else too. Last couple of days, relax and review. I am not sure how much of an improvement you would see in 5 days but if you do intend to go ahead with the test on 22nd, then this is what I would suggest as the best way forward.

Also, I strongly advise you to NOT take a full length practice test in this week.
