Dear experts,
I took my gmat first attempt in mid December. I was scoring below my expectation on the mocks but mostly because of silly mistakes. I was pretty confident that I know the topics as I was able to solve majority of my mistakes on my own inside two minutes. However, I scored a dismal 515 on the actual paper and I don't know how I got that score. Never scored such a low score even in my mocks.
I'm really struggling to find the motivation to work hard on it again as I had giving a lot for the first attempt. I want to score somewhere around a 720 but don't know where to start.
Verbal is my strong point I was getting 83 marks on it while having to guess 4-5 questions, I know the topics in quant but for some reason beyond my understanding I'm not able to score in the mocks (if I get 8-9 incorrect I'm able to solve 6-7 of them immidiately after the paper inside 2 mins). DI I'm okay with scoring average marks I want to get good marks in verbal and quant.
In the paper I thought my verbal was terrible, I got 81 in verbal which is still terrible for me but when you compare it with quant and DI it was much better. I felt I was doing okay in quant and DI but evidently not.
I've tried stating again I've done a bit but the easy question seem too easy and I've solved majority of the OG questions from gmat club. I'm trying to apply for the first round this year so planning to give the paper in April again but I haven't been able to start prepping again because of lack of motivation.
I will appreciate any suggestion which I can get on how to move forward in terms of my prep and what path to following.
Looking forward to hearing from the experts.

Here is my suggestion. You have realised where your weaknesses lie. Start by going through concept videos of Quant topics. Many test prep companies offer those so you can take trials and see what works for you. For a week or two, do nothing but check out the concept videos passively. This will make you understand a lot of new things and that may be the fire that will motivate you to start again. Thereafter, you can start reading the theory content and start working on higher level practice questions to improve your Quant score. Close to the exam, you can switch to all official content and practice medium and High difficulty level questions too.
Every Sunday, we offer all our content free to everyone. So you can enrol at https://anaprep.com and check out the 'Super Sundays' package for free today. Access the concept videos to see what I mean.

Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for CR may be worth checking out. For RC, becoming familiar with how inference questions work could be helpful as well. Consider checking out some of the debriefs in the Share GMAT Experience as well. You could see what others have done/used to successfully improve their score.
