Hi Team,
I gave my gmat official exam on 31st Oct and scored a 595(Q79,V83,DI76). I am partly content with this score because I have improved from an initial 545(Q80,V78,DI73).(thanks to gmatninja team & TTP team I have improved in Verbal). However, to get calls from my target Bschools, I need a min 645. I am at this point confused and also disappointed. I did not even want to give a re-take. But the deadlines for applications are 31st dec and I want to give one last try before I quit on this exam forever.
So I have booked a retake for 28th Dec evening slot. Starting today till 28th, I have also taken leave from work so that, I will have enough time to practice.
But I am facing few problems here.
1) How to improve on Quant and DI? Quant I have been practicing from Forum quiz and OG.I am planning to but Gmatclub tests, will that help me improve my score. My mistakes in quant are mostly silly errors or due to timing issues. I have done untimed practice till now and only during mocks used to apply timing techniques.
2) DI - I have practiced only OG questions in all topics (but did not practice 805+ questions). I still struggle with DS and TPA(esp non verbal). Will just practicing and reviewing OG questions help at this point?
3) In the actual exam, in Quant section, I rushed through last 5 questions and was not able to attempt last question. Time management is certainly an issue here. I have read bb's time management technique now and have also referred the timing-markers matrix now.
4) After opening a question to practice, I am just not able to focus anymore. My mind is just going numb. How do I come out of this zone?
5)For the mock tests I have given at home, I have analyzed my mistakes and understood that I have made some silly errors. How do i get rid of them?
Sources I have used:
Quant - Gmatclub question banks, forum quiz, maths club book, TTP one month
Verbal - Gmatclub question banks(OG only), Manhattan CR, RC, gmatninja videos, TTP one month
DI - Gmatclub question banks(OG only), gmatninja videos, TTP one month
PF ESR of my official attempt, my last mock analysis.

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Based on your score report, CR may be one thing to focus on. CR was 63rd percentile and RC was 96th percentile. The amount of time you commit to a question before moving on may also be something to consider. On Q2 and Q3 Verbal, for example, roughly 3.5 and 5 minutes respectively were spent. On Quant, it seems you were running short on time by Q20.
Consider noting these careless errors down into a bit of a list that you can look at now and again. May help you to be extra careful if you see a question that asks you something similar in the future.
