Hi guys,
I have done the Manhattan books and did some OG practising, then took a practice exam resulting in 690. Most of my mistakes are due to sloppy approaches, and towards the end in Verbal, lack of concentration -> Very few questions were too hard to be understood.
Therefore, my plan is to become perfect in the "basics" and have no simple concentration - or the like - mistakes. I have considered buying the OG Quant + Verbal review, because I will be done with OG review questions soon - but some people comment that the other OG reviews are too easy, especially if one aims at 700+. Can anyone propose practise books etc. for this case??
I have a 2009 or so Kaplan advanced book from a friend, the table of contents looks promising, is it good?
Thanks a lot in advance!

It sounds like you understand the material and you simply need more practice. I think that a good alternative to a book would be a question bank. Both Kaplan and The GMAT Club have question banks with large quantities of difficult questions.
I will do some qotd and advanced questions to get a feeling whether they are helping me or I should stick to the "basics". I am rather sceptical about questions like the gmatclub bank, which are termed "extra-hard".... but maybe doing very difficult questions gets you very general benefits for cognitive performance on other questions as well. The simply more detailed know-how is not necessarily a good gain/effort for me personally, it seems to me.
