Hi Mehemmed,

Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so it's likely that you just have not put in enough time and effort yet. Considering your Score Goal, studying "off and on" isn't going to be enough - you will have to commit to a consistent study routine and you would likely find it really beneficial to invest in a GMAT Course of some type (either Guided Self-Study or instructor-led).

In addition, since it's been so long since you took that initial CAT, we need to get a sense of your current 'skill level' with the GMAT. As such such, I suggest that you take a NEW, FULL-LENGTH CAT under realistic conditions - meaning that you should take a CAT that you have NOT taken before, in a location that is NOT your home, at the same time of day as you plan to take the Official GMAT and you must complete ALL sections (including the Essay and IR sections). Once you have that score you should report back and we discuss how best to proceed.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
