­Hi all! Thanks so much in advance for the help here. Just got my official score report back from my in-person testing on 4/20, and I got a 695. Fairly happy with that score, but ideally, I'd love a 715 or higher, so I'm looking to get some tips as to how that might be possible.
­Hi cheesecakeeeeeev,

That's a great score, and it almost certainly means that you're already capable of getting a 715/715+.

Score Breakdown:
Total: 695, 98th percentile

Q: 84, 85th percentile
Quote:
Missed questions 10 and 18, which is pretty surprising to me because I've never only missed two on a practice exam and I guess I would have expected a higher score for only missing two, but I guess I just missed easy questions?
Arith 86th, Alg 74th
Pure 100th, Real 67th
Ra/R/P 100th, V/O/F 100th, E/U/ALG 64th, C/S/S/P/S 62nd
V: 85, 96th percentile
Quote:
Missed 7, 8, and 22.
CR 93rd, RC 93rd
A/C 83rd, P/C 88th, III 89th, ISI 100th
DI: 84, 98th percentile
Quote:
Missed 13, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20
MR 97th, NMR 88th
DS 79th, GT 82nd, MSR 100th, TPA 87th
Happy to provide any more info on my score report, but just not sure what would be most helpful.

Progress to 695:
I would say I was never too intense with my studying except for the two weeks before the exam, but I studied lightly from around the middle of January to my test date. I took all 6 of the official mocks (details in table at bottom of post) and did a lot of Q problems through official GMAT, along with a good amount of DI and a little V. Also, I watched all the GMAT Ninja quant videos.

Conclusion:
So, yeah, that's basically it. I'm hoping to get this 695 up to a 715+, and ideally, I'd like to take the test at the end of June. If people could offer tips and advice for next steps for me, that would be amazing. Thanks so much in advance and let me know if any other info would be helpful!

­Hi! I think you just need to focus on the type of questions you were repeatedly getting incorrect on your mocks. Once you identify the topics and revise them, then you can focus on a lot of time-based sessions (ensuring accuracy with time-management). You can also check if you were getting them incorrect in a streak (like towards the end or so) and if that's the case, then you can just re-visit your Quant test taking strategy.
