Hi mangoleaf.

While what you have been doing to increase your verbal score seems to have been working, what you have been doing to increase your quant score has not resulted in any score increase.

There are many ways that people seek improve their GMAT quant skills. Some of those ways, such as first deep diving into topics to develop understanding and then doing targeted topic by topic practice, tend to work rather well. Other ways, such as learning gimmicky, formulaic approaches to getting answers and doing many timed practice questions without taking the time to really learn how to get answers, do not.

So, to help us help you to figure out why you quant score has not increased and what you could do to score higher, you could tell us more about how you have been training for the GMAT, including in your description, not only the materials you have been using and how much you have used them, but also HOW you have been using them. For example, going through the Official Guide quant sections from beginning to end doing timed questions is much different from doing Official Guide questions untimed and augmenting that work by using other resources that provide topic by topic practice.
