Hey Shovit,
I have my GMAT coming up on 30th October. I've so far consistently been getting between 740-770 on my practice CATs except for one aberration . And these high scores on one side are giving me confidence and on the other side they are making me doubt whether these CATs are really accurate. As a result, these scores are also making me nervous .

Are you sure it is 30th "October" or should it be 30th November ? :-D :-D
Dude, if you have been getting these high scores on practice CATs, then you should be happy instead of being nervous. Whatever be the accuracy level of these CATs, you can be rest assured that you're doing well and will probably get something in the same range on the exam. :)

Yes, I took all the practice tests under timed conditions. I think doing them this way really builds your stamina and helps you equip yourself with the testing mindset.

Wow! Congrats on the awesome score! My 2nd GMAT attempt is in May, and I hope to also join the 700 club! :)

I purchased Powerscore CR, Manhattan RC, and Mahnattan SC. How helpful did you find Aristotle SC Grail? Verbal is where I really need improvement, and would welcome any advice for supplemental prep materials! Also, thank you for the recommendation for the Aristotle RC99. I will definitely purchase that book. I could use all the help I can get :)

I think that Aristotle Prep has discontinued RC99 now and have RC Practice sets instead. You may buy those. Powerscore CR is a really good book and so is Manhattan SC. I went for SC Grail because Manhattan SC was too jargon laden and a little difficult to digest. So my verdict is that if you are comfortable understanding Manhattan SC, you should be fine with it only and you may go for Aristotle New SC Questionbank insteading of SC Grail. However, if you are not comfortable with the Manhattan SC, then you may for SC Grail. Hope that helps! :)
