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.

I just recently took the GMAT and scored a 690 (44 Quant, 40 Verbal) and am hoping to get a 710/720. I have taken a prep course and private tutoring and have focused the majority of my time on trying to improve my math. I tend to approach the problems well, but I have an issue with timing, my arithmetic isn't exactly the strongest, and I often tend to take the long route to solving (my algebra is very strong). As far as verbal goes, I have focused very little time on it, if any. I am writing in hopes of finding someone out there who can help me design a study plan. I struggle with identifying the best way to improve on the problems I get incorrect in particular. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated. I am hoping to take my next exam in 2/3 weeks. Thanks so much in advance!

Hi crb1017,
First off, a 690 is a fantastic score (it's just shy of the 90th percentile overall), so you can apply to any Business Schools that interest you. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:

GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability, which means that you could have very easily scored 710/720 on Test Day. The Q44 means that you were pretty good on most of the 'math' questions that you faced, but you made some little mistakes throughout the section and you missed out on lots of 'strategy-based' points.
1) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
2) When are you planning to apply?

Well, I'd say the obvious step is to improve your verbal. Check out my guides in my signature if you want to improve your verbal fast.
Also, take a GMATPrepTest (if you haven't burnt through them already), and go through the problems you get wrong one by one. Put them in a spreadsheet and see if that can help you figure out what exactly you're getting wrong.
