I took a practice CAT yesterday (GMATprep #2) to get a feel for the progress I still need to make. I was very disappointed to see my quant score drop from 41 to 35. I haven't seen a quant score as low as 35 since I first started studying. My Verbal has increased steadily.
My past 2 practice CAT scores (MGMAT) are below as well as the GMATprep test I took yesterday.
(4/23) MGMAT 2: 630 - Q41 V35
(5/7) MGMAT 3: 650 - Q41 V37
(5/21) GMATprep #2: Q35 V40
I'd appreciate advice on the best way to proceed. My test date is July 8th so I still have 6 weeks to prepare. Thanks!

CATs arent that meaningful. there could be a multitude of reasons for your drop: didnt get enough sleep, was nervous, unlucky question set, etc. dont put so much weight on the score, which can be hard to do since we are all score oriented.
the only real test that matters though is the real official test. all other scores are meaningless.

Hi CLTpkg,
If you have not yet done so, then you should plan to do a full review of this CAT. Many Test Takers find it beneficial to keep an error log/Mistake Tracker/etc. and revisit "old" questions during their studies. While the level of detail of that work will vary from person to person, there are some basic questions that you should look to answer (and you want to be as specific as you can with the answers):
After reviewing each section, how many questions did you get wrong....
1) Because of a silly/little mistake?
2) Because there was some math/verbal that you just could not remember how to do?
3) Because the question was too hard?
4) Because you were low on time and had to guess?
Once you can define WHY you're getting questions wrong, you should have a better idea of what you'll need to work on to improve.
