Hi,
I gave the GMAT recently and got a score of 680 (48Q, 35V) after studying for roughly 2.5 months. Needless to say, I was a bit disappointed since I need to break into the 700+ threshold (Target: 720) to get into my target schools. (I'm short of the number of years with work experience)
I have only 3 weeks of time to prepare for my next attempt which is booked on 17th July since I have some urgent work which requires me to fly out of the country after that.
For my previous preparation, I used the : OG 2016 + Princeton guides + Magoosh premium subscription, finished all the practice ques + Veritas 7 practice tests + 2 GMAT Prep CATs
I also went through the gmatclub forums for a couple of my weak topics.
I need to crack the GMAT this time. I realise the time left is less but I have no option. Could someone please guide me on my plan forward? Also, which practice tests should I use to gauge my performance since I've used up GMATPrep ones.
Thanks in advance for the help.

The GMATPrep tests are the ones best ones. But if you are seeking an additional resource, you may be interested in this one: www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-test/practice-test/
You may want to focus your energy on solving the really easy questions in as little time as possible - so you open up more time to spend on the more time-intensive questions and hopefully boost your accuracy. Make sure you don't make any silly mistakes such as answering the wrong question.
Going through the Practice Pill Platform will be good practice -- in addition to reviewing your mistakes in the OG. You may be interested in our OG video solutions as you study: www.gmatpill.com/official-guide

Hi Aishwarya007,
First off, a 680/Q48 is a strong score (it's right around the 85th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. When applying to highly competitive Schools/Programs, you have to remember that those Schools are looking for strong OVERALL applicants (and no score - not even an 800 - would guarantee you anything). Since you've mentioned some potential 'weak spots' in your application(s), you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and application plans. There's a Forum full of them here:
ask-admission-consultants-124/
There's a distance possibility that the best way for you to strengthen your application is to delay your application(s) so that you can pick up the meaningful Work Experience that your application requires.
1) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
2) When are you planning to apply?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
