Hi Tactic101,
The exams you took 4 YEARS ago aren't really relevant to who you are NOW as a Test Taker (and the GMAT is now a shorter Exam - in both the number of questions that are asked in the Quant and Verbal sections and in the total time you have to answer those questions). Assuming that you took this recent CAT in a realistic fashion, then a 650 shows that you're a really strong critical thinker overall - which is good. Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) What study materials have you used so far?
2) What is your goal score?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi Rich, thanks for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.
* The 650/35Q/46V was yesterday. The answers below do NOT include anything used prior to 2019.
1) What study materials have you used so far? The
OG main book. I have the supplementary material books but haven't used them. I got Kaplan's Math Workbook in the mail today and plan to work through it first.
2) What is your goal score? 700+
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School? Either this fall or next. This depends on my score and also my job (I'm currently looking to switch roles)
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to? Northeast focused: NYU (goal), Columbia (for the hell of it), Georgetown, Cornell, and Tuck.
I realize I probably need higher than a 700 for most of these schools, but a 700 is the baseline IMO.
