Hi,
First stop worrying too much about the scores in kaplan, since No exam apart form GMAT Prep is accurate. sit down and analyze where you are exactly loosing your scores. If you think math is troubling you, I suggest you must be in a position to pinpoint what exactly troubles you and strengthen the same. same is the case with verbal. But, be sure when you practice even for one hour, include both verbal and math in your practice. Time each question and see what difficulties are you facing. Irrespective of whether you are taking the exam or simply practicing ensure that you solve with below time limits so that time management will be a part of you.
Quant- Not more than 2 min - Can take up to Maximum 2.5 mins for very difficult questions
Sentence corrections- Not more than 1.15 Mins- Can take up to 2 mins for really tough questions.
Critical reasoning- Not more than 2 min - Can take up to Maximum 2.5 mins for very difficult questions
Reading comprehension- Not more than 3 mins for reading the passage- 1 min for general inference questions and 1.5 mins for detailed questions, which needs you to look at the passage once again to answer.
You can find the GMAT timer in the Forums. If you dont I can mail you the same.
I am sure it will be difficult for you initially. But, our mind has got an enormous power to get used to anything. As you told you have 3 weeks you can spend 2 hours every day and around 6-7 hours in weekend and keep on practicing as many questions as possible with the above time limit. But, ensure that you analyze all the question that troubled you while practicing with time constraint, once you finish your practice and you involve both Verbal and quant in your practice. Please look at the below links on how to analyze the
mistakes.

I suggest you to finish this exercise in a weak time and test yourself with the GMAT PREP(downloaded from MBA Club website) exam after the week. I am sure your score will be improved. Analyze your performance and plan similarly for the next week. I am sure you will score more than 650. Hope this helps. Thank You.

It seems you are doing really well on your own since you are seeing steady improvement...
1. Get your hands on the GMAT Prep tests. They are indicative of actual GMAT scores (within +-50 points generally)... you can either download the software or get the CD ROM version... Take the first test and see where you stand right now... You will also get a good idea of what actual GMAT questions look like...
2. OG12 does not cover in depth theory required for actual GMAT Quant questions. You will need to get to a book with GMAT specific theory.... All the topics you mentioned - Ratios, time-speed, number properties etc use straight forward theory.. all you need to do is get your basics in place.... check out topic wise questions on the forum and read various explanations given... e.g. I have discussed work-rate in the thread given below:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/problems-with-work-rate-questions-109097.html#p870341
Also, you can check out: https://www.veritasprep.com/blog/category/gmat/quarter-wit-quarter-wisdom/ for some posts on simple and higher level concepts
3. Similarly, you need to have clear strategies for Verbal questions... Giving you links of some posts to give you an idea...
