So after a year of scattered studying and one test postponement I finally pulled the trigger and took the GMAT. Unfortunately, I scored 570. Immediately after seeing the score I wasn't shocked, sad, or mad - I just felt a little numb and told myself "it is what it is". Honestly it felt great to finally get a huge pressure off my chest as I told myself I want to take the GMAT almost 2 years ago.
However, I am by no means content with the score I received and am looking to score in the high 600s for my next test and dare I say break 700.
The study materials I used were: Knewton on demand courses, the Manhattan GMAT 8 set guides. For practice, I used the OG 11/OG12 and the supplemental and verbal guides.
Practice test scores:
GMATPrepv1: 670
GMATPrepV1: 690
I am reaching out to the GMATClub community for some advice and feedback. What do I do now?

where those retakes? if not, I would suggest taking the exam again in 30 days since you scored 100+ points less than the official practice exams.
I would go over the basics and make sure you master them. Also, I would work on timing and accuracy. Use OG-12 and a stopwatch and do 10-20 problems at a time. After you finish the problems (within your goal time... <2min and <1.75 min for quant verbal respectively), compare your solutions to the solutions that the OG provides. Try to identify either areas where you are carrying out redundant/unnecessary calculations (i.e., short cuts) or problems where you consistently make mistakes (e.g., not reading the problem correctly). remember, it's important to practice under time constraints.

you mentioned scaterred studying... when were the prep tests taken?
I think the key is to study consistently for about 2-3 months and take the exam. I understand that life gets in the way but it is the one trait all 700 scorers have in common.
