Need your help/advice here. I have my gmat scheduled in a month. Been preparing for about 2 months now. I gave couple of mgmat cats and one gmatprep, averaged at 650. My target score is 700. Is there a way I can achieve this in next one month?
What I have done so far, prepared using mgmat guides, CR bible and OG guides, kaplan advanced problems, gmatclub tutorials, flashcards.
I have gone through some success stories on gmatclub as to how I can improve but its not given me any direction.
I have busy work schedule, can study 2 hours a day during weekdays and 6 hours each on weekend.
Some of the issues that I see so far are word problems, RC. Time management on tests is another issue. I always do my last 10 questions in 8 minutes or so.
I am unable to understand what areas I should study /practice in the next month as to reach the target score. I am definitely going to work on RC but other than that where else should I focus? How should I go about it?
Appreciate any tips.

Hey there, you're not very far from your target score, keep at it!!!
If I were you, I'd start looking at the breakdowns of your GMAT score. Are you lacking in quant? If you're scoring a lower quant score (i.e. Q42, Q43), you should definitely review the fundamentals of math. But if you're up in the Q48, Q49 (or higher) and lacking in verbal, I'd start focusing on the verbal section to improve that score. Traditionally speaking, sentence correction is the easiest to fix because it's on rules that (most of the time) cannot be bent. And while RC and CR are most ambiguous from time, SC should almost always have a reason to the right answer. Anyway, look at your breakdowns and really understand where you're missing out on. Last, but not least, MGMAT's CATs are known to contain a lot harder math questions than GMATPrep's. If you're not having much trouble with GMATPrep's, but having trouble answering the questions on MGMAT, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
