At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Dear Experts,
I hope this message finds you well. I've scheduled my GMAT Classic test for December 14th and find myself in a bit of a quandary regarding my performance. Here's a breakdown:
First mock ever : 480 (Q30 V25) taken 13 months ago
First real GMAT score: 640 (Q44 V37) taken 3 months ago
Recent mocks: 710 (Q49 V38), 750 (Q50 V42), 700 (Q48 V37), all taken within the last 2 weeks
Concerns about familiarity with questions in the first two mocks, since I have already taken them 6 months ago
Preparation Journey:
I embarked on a 13-month preparation journey, investing over 1500 hours of study. Completing the TTP self-study program significantly improved my quantitative skills. I worked on verbal alone.
After the first exam, I studied RC and CR, since my SC was near flawless, to try to push through that V40. However, I am not sure whether I will be able to break through that in the next exam. I also focussed on my weak areas for Quant.
On the last mock, I made 4 mistakes in RC, 5 in CR, and 1 in SC. I felt that it was the most realistic mock since I was completely unfamiliar with the questions.
Current Dilemma:
Originally, I was planning to apply for R1, but I don't think I will even be able to apply for R2 now. I had intended to get a score of 750+, but I don't think that I will be able to score more than 700 on this upcoming exam.
I don't know whether I should not do the 3 remaining mocks (I will have to do them within the span of 10 days) before the exam, or even reschedule it altogether till after Christmas. Doing the remaining mocks within 10 days seems daunting, and I definitely don't want to waste them, especially if I decide to later on shoot for a 760.
I think that I will go through with this exam since the mocks indicate a score of ~700 and since I should have a score ready for upcoming applications. And then try for a higher score after that if I'm still stubborn enough to study some more.
What do you experts think? I seek your expert advice on whether to proceed with the remaining mocks, reschedule, or adopt a different strategy.
Also, any recommendations on what to study in these 2 weeks?
Your insights are invaluable to me, and I appreciate your time and guidance.
Thank you for your consideration,
Dany

Consider checking out Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for CR. For RC, becoming familiar with how inference questions work could be helpful. Might be worth saving one or two Official Mocks in case you retake for any reason. Fair to say practicing with Official questions (i.e. from the Official Guide 2022) would be a solid choice. You can get e-versions of different guides from the MBA website.

Are you sure about reading Manhattan-Prep's book? There seems to be a lot of methodology in it, which I am already familiar with. Also, I have already read and completed the CR bible book.
Do you think its possible to increase my verbal score in 10 days?
