Hi everyone, this is my first post on GMATclub!
I'm a 4th year medical student who has been studying for the GMAT for the past 3 months.
My goal is a 700+ with a 47Q+.
I took the GMAT this week and scored a 690 45Q 39V 8IR. I ended up cancelling it.
My practice exams leading up to the test were 710 47Q 40V, and 710 46Q 41V.
I have been using Target Test Prep. I think it was great for learning the fundamentals (i haven't taken a math class in a very long time), but I feel like the questions are written differently from actual GMAT questions. The questions on TTP are way more intuitive, its usually easy to understand what the question is asking, but when I took the actual GMAT it felt like I was spending the first 1.5minutes just understanding what the question was asking. Full disclosure, I read through the entire TTP course but only completed about 50% of the practice tests and admittedly didn't do a great job of re-reviewing everything before the actual exam (but I still did well above the recommended thresholds on all of the TTP comprehensive exams).
I'd like to retake the GMAT in a month or so. What do you guys think? Given my timeframe, should I continue with TTP (reread through the sections, complete the rest of the practice tests) or choose another resource?

I don't know why do you need specifically 700+ with a 47Q+ ? It is better if you clarify your specification so that expert can help you.
Your actual score is closed to your mock test-you should not cancel it until YOU need SPECIFIC score which is 710+ with Q47. Are these practice exam scores from GMATPrep mock test?
You can try to solve official questions from @Debral 's website which is FREE of cost (i am talking about official GMAT books solution).

Thanks for getting back to me! I plan on applying to b school after residency (for me it must be a top 10 or its not worth the investment). My advisor recommended retaking it because my score was sub 700 and my quant score was low. He said b-schools look at quant more and I personally feel I could improve my quant score.
edit: and the practice tests were both official ones from the mba website
