Dear Experts,
I have some questions I would very much appreciate your help with. I have done TTP course and have taken the GMAT in April for the 3rd time (got 660, q44 and v37). Below are my results:
1st gmat 590 (v39, q 32) - Nov 12, 2018 (studying on my own)
2nd gmat (v27, q37) - Dec 19, 2018 (studying on my own)
3rd gmat (v37, q44) - Apr 13, 2023 (finishing 60% of ttp course)
Because I hadn't finished the entire TTP course by the time I took the test and given I managed my time poorly during the verbal section (had to guess 4 questions in a row in a RC passage), I feel there is space to improve. As more than 5 months, in which I haven't studied much, have passed since my last official gmat test, I retook the 1st official mock and got v44 and q31 (quant dropped a lot).
In light of this last results, considering I have 2-4 hours available per day and 6-8 on weekends and want to give a last shot on the GMAT official test (old version), I would very much appreciate your help with the following questions:
-Starting now and given that I have already some foundation and taking into consideration my gmat journey so far, current official score, and current mock assessment, how long would you suggest I study before a retake (I am applying R2)?
-Would you suggest using TTP and/or another resource for review?
-Would you suggest using mock exams from experts global?
-Are there any other additional resources you would suggest for a retake?
-Is there any specific study plan you would suggest I use with a focus on both quant and verbal (heavier on quant)
I can't thank you enough for your help. In case any point is not clear and/or you need additional detail, please let me know!
ps: I can also share my ESR if that helps in the recommendation

Fair to say rust could have partly impacted your performance. Consider mentioning how many Official-Mocks you have remaining (if any). If you haven't purchased/used Official-Mocks 3-6, for example, it may be worth taking one of them after getting a bit familiar with the material again.
In case you've run out of Official-Guide questions, see whether any of the guides you purchased came with an online exclusive question bank you can activate/use. You can get e-versions of different guides from the MBA website.

Hi LEOLUCCIOLA,
Since it's been over 5 months since you took your 3rd Official GMAT, it's likely that your overall skills have 'faded' a bit - and that V44 is likely a bit 'inflated' (especially if you saw any questions that you had already faced when you took that CAT/mock before). 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:
Studies:
1) How long did you study for your 3rd attempt? How many hours did you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far over the course of ALL of your studies? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) Prior to your 3rd attempt, on what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to - and what application deadlines are you facing?
While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). You can feel free to PM it directly to me if you prefer not to publicly post it - and I'll be happy to analyze it for you.
