Wrote GMAT today and scored 635 with a breakup of 86%in DI, 70% in Verbal and 81%in Quant approximately. My OG mocks' score were mostly around 645-655 last week. I set the first mock which had one repeated RC , scored 715 in that mock yesterday (found it to be comparatively easy anyway).
During the real exam though, I seem to get stuck on a few complex questions during my exam and I find myself wasting time in the hope of solving them.
1. As per mocks I was always scoring above 85% here, but the real exam felt tougher. Took more time to mark correct choices in verbal and RCs were pretty long (especially last 2 out of 4 RCs which led me again to mark guesses on all the last 3 questions without reading)
2. DI seems not doable with the accuracy needed within 45 minutes. I attempted last 4 as guesses in last 2 minutes. Any tips on how people go about this, doing all the questions? This was the weakest section until now (since was always leaving questions unanswered in mocks), but managed to mark all choices and scored today 86 percentile in this section.
3. Was scoring 100 percentile in quant OG mocks, but found the second/third question way too difficult (wasted 8 mins on second question, 3-4 on third) which did affect my performance I guess. Got 81 percentile there.
Please suggest best possible strategies/ways with pointed resources (which might have worked for you) on how to aim realistically for a score around 695/705 in next 20 days and manage this year's deadlines.

Unless you are already sure on which schools to apply AND have sorted everything else out for R2 deadlines coming up in the next 4-5 weeks, your rushed attempt for a higher score will be in vain.
Re improving the score - hire a coach and take 1-2-1 classes.

Hi Shuks14,
Your GMAT score is very close to your official practice test scores. Your DI performance is quite strong, and there's a very good chance that you'll get a higher quant score if you take the exam again.
As for moving to 695/705, have you already identified any areas that you can work on?
