Gave my 2nd MGMAT CAT and scored 680. Though MGMAT tests looks weird after giving the GMAT Prep, i am not able to decide whether to give more GMAT test after rectifying the problem areas or concentrate more on practicing?
As of now the main problem for me in Verbal is SC speed. I am not able to solve the Q's in 1 min and this leads to less time for RC and CR
And in Quant its the PACING. I still end up spending 3+ min in few Quant Q's leading to guessing to maintain the pace
My exam date is in Aug 2nd week. What should be my strategy in terms of practice tests and improving on my problem areas?

I'd say don't keep taking CATs without working on your weak areas first . What I mean by this , try to pinpoint your weaknesses first . For instance don't just say you are weak in SC , try to pinpoint what specific part in SC are you weak in ? ( e.g. Modifiers , parallelism erc.) . Then try to work out questions in this specific area and make sure you use a timer to see how long you take to do these questions . As you practice and REVIEW more questions you will be able to arrive at the right answer more quickly . Once you feel like your hit rate is improving then take a practice test to gauge your progress .

My Quant is going in range of 46 to 48 so i m planning to study MGMAT Advanced Quant Guide. I really like their stuff and 8 strategy guide really helped in moving from 530 to 700. My target score for Quant is 50 and 40+ for verbal.
You have a good point, i am going to do some practice Q and identify the SC issues with content. I am comfortable with RC and CR with SC the problem is the speed. The longer time in SC leaves me with lesser time in CR/RC Q's I am able to solve most of the SC questions in less than 2 min time but not in less than 90 sec I know i have to do vertical SCAN etc but not able to put these strategies in practice. Any pointer/book/GMATclub resource to improve on SC.
