Hi,
I gave my gmat exam few days back and scored 670(Q48, V34). This was my second attempt. I got 610 in my first attempt in December. 670 is lower than my expectations. In the official mocks which i gave my score was around 700-710 which is also my target score.
I am planning to retake gmat one more time in next 30 days to get to my target score. It is tough and i am totally confused from where to start. I have been studying now for almost 8 months. I have exhausted all official questions and mocks. I have used egmat platform for my prep for the past 8 months and have exhausted all their resources as well. Now i need suggestions on how to start my prep again and which resources to use. I need to improve my verbal v34 to v37 and quant to Q49. Kindly help me from where should i start again.

Consider getting the ESR to see which areas to perhaps focus on. If it's been a while since you gave Official Mock 1 and 2, retaking them may not be a bad idea. In case you've run out of Official-Guide questions, checking out/purchasing the online only question banks through the main MBA website may be helpful.

Hi Sameep12.
Your move is to fully master one topic at a time to drive your score higher.
In Quant, start with weaker areas. For each weaker area, first review the relevant concepts and strategies and then practice by answering questions involving that topic until you're getting them correct in streaks of at least 10 and preferably streaks of 15 or more.
To learn how to use the streaks method of practicing, see this post.
The Best GMAT Practice Methods
Regarding Verbal, the fact that you scored significantly higher on the practice tests than on the real GMAT may indicate that how you prepared for Verbal was somehow more geared toward preparing you for the practice tests than preparing you for the GMAT. People often get this type of result in Verbal because so much of what's commonly said about GMAT Verbal is based on what appears on the practice tests.
So, probably, you need to adjust the way you're preparing for Verbal so that it emphasizes developing general knowledge and skills applicable to answering any GMAT Verbal question rather than specific ideas that apply to past GMAT Verbal questions but may not apply to what you'll see on test day.
