I took the GMAT today and scored a 680. Should I take the GMAT again?
Background:
I started seriously prepping for the GMAT by mid May. My GMAC official mock results are :
Mock 1 (2nd week of June) - Q42 V32 (610)
Mock 2 (30th June) - Q46 V40 (710)
Mock 3 (10th July) - Q43 V41 (690)
Mock 4 (13th July) - Q49 V39 (720)
GMAT EXAM(15th July) - Q48 V35 (680)
I have 9-6 working hours, so I have been realistically studying around 3 hours on weekdays and 5+ hours on weekends. I took one leave+saturday,sunday before the exam to get myself in the exam mode. Slept for less that 6 hours before the exam (Nerves I guess).
I wont be able to take leave from work and study, so my daily study times would stay the same. I can take the exam again max by the second week of August.
In verbal, SC is clearly my weakest topic, I have tried to cover up, I went through 60% of the OG, studied through coaching classes that I joined locally on the weekends, went through Jamboree and Gmatprepnow videos on youtube.
In quant, speed was my main problem, which got rectified a bit especially during the last week before the exam, I completed 90% of the OG question while pacing myself on the Wiley learning app.
I aim to score atleast a 725+
But I am not sure where to start or whether there is something wrong with my style of studying. I am not really sure whether I will be able to score any higher or maybe 680 is maximum limit?
Any advice would be appreciated, I am open to joining some online course/test series/mentoring if that could improve my chances of scoring higher.
Looking forward to responses !

Hi
First of all 680 is a good score. I would suggest to know the average scores of your target colleges.
If it is in range then there is no need to appear for Gmat again. In case your score is less, but you have a good profile then also there is no need for Gmat again. Else you can take the test again. From your scores it is clear that your basics are very clear.
The following posts will help you for further improvement.

I am 25 year old female Architect from India with 2 years experience as of this june. By the time the session starts next year I will have 3.
But from what I have come across on various forums, thats way below the average experience on most good colleges. I aim to get into one of the top 25 schools. Wouldnt 680 be too low in such a case ?
