I've been seriously studying for the gmat for about a month now. My test date is the last weekend in July and ideally i'm shooting for a score in the 680 to 700 range. I've taken 3 gmat preps in the past month. I took the first one before studying any and got a 610 (38 V 35 Q). Didnt bother me because, hey, we all gotta start somewhere. After a few weeks I took another GMAT prep and got a 680 (44Q 38V) and thought I was well on my way. Then last week i took another prep test and got a 630 (38Q 38V).
Did anyone else ever have something like this happen to them? I'm trying not to let it get me too down because I've earned a 680 and I know I can do it, but it's extremely frustarating.

I would say looking at your splits that your Verbal is pretty consistent, but your Quant varies up and down depending on the type of questions you receive. This tells me you don't know your fundamentals as well as you would like and need to work on those before you can consistently score well. You need to learn the basics, such as any integer times an even number is an even. Odd x odd is an odd, etc. I would suggest to continue working on OG and OG Quant supplement and then get the GMAT Club Challenges. They really force you to learn the basics and will dramatically increase your quant score. Good luck and just know you have plenty of time!!

I actually have a pretty good grip on the basics. What i've noticed is that my problem is careless mistakes. Both times I scored lower on the Quant section I finished with 10 to 12 minutes remaining. Looking at my mistakes afterwards made me want to kick myself. If I can get myself to slow down and improve on Data Sufficiency I should be ok on the quant.
I really want to get my verbal score up. I broke down and order the MGMAT SC guide. There seems to be a concensus that this is the best way to improve on that area. I'm hoping that can help me hit 40 or 41 in and of itself.
