Hi everyone,
I have taken 3 GMAT official guide practice tests so far - this has been over the last 1.5 months or so. Also, i have been studying for the GMAT close to a year now.
My scores are as follows:
Practice test 1 730 (Q:49, V:41)
Practice test 2 680 (Q:49, V: 34)
Practice test 3 720 (Q:49, V:40)
I intend to take Practice test 4 next week. (Took practice test 3 today).
The test where I got 680 - I ran out of time in verbal and took it when I wasn’t necessarily mentally fresh.
In terms of my overall prep, I want to know how to boost my quant score to 50 / 51 and, to try to get an extra edge in verbal
I’m trying to get to 750 / 760. That being said, I’d be perfectly happy if I took an official exam today and got a 720.
Also, when will I know that I’m ready to write the test and be confident of getting my target score?
Many thanks for your suggestions!

Hi theirrationalmind.
To get to Q50 - 51, analyze your practice tests to see why you're missing quant questions.

The answers to those questions will indicate what you need to do to score higher in quant.
If you are weak in certain topic areas, then strengthen your skills in each of those areas one at a time by first reviewing or learning the relevant concepts and then practicing as outlined in this post.

Practice test 3 720 (Q:49, V:40)
I’m trying to get to 750 / 760.
At a V40 level, consider working on your solving approach. May boost your score in a relatively short amount of time. Had a 6-hour student go from a V41 to a V45 (retake) in less than 2 weeks. Perhaps work with a study buddy with strong Verbal skills. Just so happens that student ended up with a 760 on the V45.
