I am 32, work full time and started preparing for GMAT around 7th Nov 2019 with a target of 750+ in mind
Summary of preparation so far.
07 Nov - 25 Nov : Quant OG + MGMAT SC
26th Nov: GMAT Prep 1 : 690 (Q47, V 37)
27th Nov-07th Dec: Verbal OG + Quant OG questions
08th Dec: GMAT Prep 2: 700 (Q49, V 35)
10th Dec- 28th Dec: EGMAT Sessions + GMAT Club Quant tests (Scoring Q42-49)
29th Dec- GMAT Prep: GMAT Prep 3: 710 - Q49, V 37 (was expecting 730+ especially after getting first 17 Quant questions right). With pathetic performance in CR(60% Wrong), otherwise 20% usually. Subsequently shifted my GMAT date to Mar 2, 2020 from Jan 20, 2020
01 Jan- till date: Attempted Topic wise 700+ quant questions at GMAT club, Egmat scholarium for Verbal (SC - 75-80%, RC- 60-70%, CR, 60-70% accuracy)
Proposed plan:
25th Jan - 02 Feb:
1) Review OG (All sections), OG mistakes, E GMAT Verbal Scholarium mistakes, GMAT club questions wrongly + bookmarked (easily 200-300+ across topics)
2) Revise material (EGMAT notes, MGMAT notes, Quant GMAT club book)
03 Feb - 01 March
1) Attempt GMAT prep 4-6
2) GMAT Club verbal (Min 9) + quant tests (Min 25)
3) MGMAT Mocks (as many)
4) GMAT prep advanced 300 questions
5) 700+ Questions on GMATClub for verbal
The reasons I am feeling stuck:
Verbal: I make different mistakes and my performance varies across sections. Though I have definitely improved on RC over the last week or so, CR performance is still way off the mark and dynamic for my liking
Quant: Struggle with 50 and 51 level questions on GMAT Club a lotl

Second -MBA Goals: Attempted GMAT in 2015 and scored 720. Completed MBA from a top 25 B school based out of India with specialization in Strategy. Non-engineer and currently working with Big 4 as a Manager in consulting. Strong public service experience (fellowship with Indian Parliament for an year), few years of corporate strategy experience with Indian conglomerate (USD 5 BN Market Cap) at Chairman's office. Potential recommendations by CEO of the conglomerate and the partner I am working at at Big 4. Major highlight in the current job is handling market entry strategy and setting up of Indian operations (like literally location assessment and program management for setting up of plant with a capacity of 0.5 mn cars / vendor eco system) for a 3 Bn USD investment in automobile sector. Objective is get above average Indian GMAT score, primarily to make it to a top 10 B school in US or UK with a focus on finance, switch to finance and settle in western world. Also, there is no chance with my present firm for a secondment in US or UK offices

Hi, I don't know if you know this but a Second MBA would be extremely difficult especially at this point of age and after already completing an MBA.
US B-schools need a reason as to why you need a second MBA
It is not just about scoring a 750, it is about getting in to those universities too, right?
750 is achievable but can you tell me which universities did you get in to ?

I am aware that odds are not in my favour.
However, at this point of time I am solely focusing on the GMAT score
One step at a time.
