I've my GMAT scheduled for 6th September and targeting 730 or above.
I'll be applying to my target schools in R1, most of them have their deadlines in first week of October.
My last 5 Mock scores are as follows:-
SigmaX - 650 (Q46, V32)
Expert Global 1 - 640 (Q46, V32)
GMATPrep 1 - 690 (Q50, V32)
Expert Global 2 - 680 (Q47, V38)
Expert Global 3 - 680 (Q46, V38)
Expert Global 4 - 720 (Q46, V43)
GMATPrep 2 - Technical Glitch couldn't complete
GMATPrep 3 - 710 (Q49, V38)
Major problem I'm facing at the moment is DS, which negatively impacts PS as well. Number Properties, Inequalities,Coordinate Geometry, and Probability are the topics I'm struggling majorly with.
Please guide me how to about in remaining days so that I could shoot my Q score to 50/51.
P.S. In GC Tests of QA, I'm scoring around Q48/49, so is the case with GMATPrep; however, in third party mocks the score falls to Q46/47. Is is something to do with difficulty level here that's negatively impacting my Q score.
Please help, I feel what I'm doing with V is helping me. 2 RCs from Sajjad1994 daily, 15 SCs, and 10-15 CR....all from OG source through GC Question Bank.

Hi Abhinay66.
In a way, you have answered your own question. To get to your Q50/51 score goal, you need to strengthen each of the weaker areas that you mentioned.
To strengthen a weaker area, first review or learn the relevant concepts and strategies and then answer practice questions in that area until you are getting them correct close to 100 percent of the time.
You may need more that a week or two to strengthen all those areas. So, it may make sense to push back your test date.
For some more ideas on how to improve in quant, see this post.

Although a Q50 V38 can potentially get one a 730, it may give a 720 too. Working on Verbal may be helpful therefore to take the edge off.
For Quant, it may be helpful to focus on the sub-topics you mention which may have some fundamentals that are still slippery.
For Verbal, consider working on your solving approach if you think your fundamentals are solid. Perhaps work with a study buddy who has strong Verbal skills. May boost your section score a bit. Had a 6-hour student go from a V41 to a V45 in about 10 days, for example.
