Hi there,
I request the GMAT experts to provide me with some guidance as to how can I improve my score from 610 to 720+. I am looking for a strategy that can take me to 720+. I have 42 days to go for my GMAT, and can put 2 hours on weekdays and 4-6 hours on weekends. I prefer writing mock tests on weekends.
Here is a detailed account of my preparations so far and what more resources I have in hand. Please help me achieve 720+.
My previous performances :
18/05 - GMATPrep1 ( diagnostic test ) - 570 (22 questions correct in Quants , 23 questions correct in Verbal)
14/06 - MGMAT1 (studied for 2 weeks) - 580 (Q42,v29)
22/06 - MGMAT2 (worked on weak topics ) - 640 (Q43,V34)
29/06 - MGMAT3 (same weak areas, revised and attempted) - 610 (Q44,V31)
07/07 - MGMAT4 (worked on improving PS skills and CR skills) - 610 (Q44,V31)
Identified Weak Areas :
Algebra - Inequalities , Formula , Equations ( mostly these topics were a pain point in DS questions )
Numbers - Permutations&Combinations, Probability ( PS type questions ) , Even-Odd (DS type questions)
Geometry - Polygons (DS type)
CR - Assumption(I just cant get them right) , Role of bold text , Conclusion ( I cant derive the relevance of answer choices to the question in hand)
SC - Concision, Parallelism
RC - Inference( never got this right)
Resources used :
MGMAT 8 book series
PowerScore CR Bible
Resources available :
Books : OG13
Exams : GMATPrep2 , GMATPrep3, GMATPrep4, MGMAT5, MGMAT6, Princeton Review1 , Kaplan1

I cannot afford a retest at any cost. I just have one shot at GMAT to make it count. Please please help me in chalking out a strategy to improve my score.
Do let me know incase any further details are required.
Moderators - Apologies if I have posted this on a wrong forum. Please move this to the correct place, if needed, and guide me to the same.
Hoping for a response at the earliest to start off with my revised preparation.
Thank you

Frankly, How many question you got incorrect alone will not help..so stop doing this analysis for own your own good. Check links below

You should look at Gmatclub Math Book and cover the basics. Thereafter, I strongly recommend getting access to Gmatclub Math tests, Follow Bunuel on Math forum...Dont' worry too much P& C at the moment but surely you should look at Number properties...even odd etc.
Looking at your Math score, it seems you need to put bit more work there..
Here are some links to guide you.

If you have covered basics to these questions then I suggest you look at "thursdays with ron" videos....These are very good videos..
For SC: If you are not very comfortable, You may want to look at posts from Egmat here " e-gmat-s-all-sc-topics-consolidated-144985.html "

You seem to have all the right resources...may be you just need to dig deeper to get more out of these books...Barring Princeton review1, I have only had good reviews for other resources..ATB

I know you're concentrating on the math and quant, but I've found the best way to boost a stuck score is to see if you can boot your verbal -- and, the best way in my opinion to boost your verbal score is to get a U.S. based college level English grammar book such as Strunk & White's "Elements of Style" and just read it straight through. Hope that helps!
