Hi guys,
I brushed up the OG questions for a month and took the 1st mock test from GMATprep.
Got only 560: Q44, V23, IR3
I Was expecting at least 650 or 680 since my accuracy levels during OG practice were good on the easy / medium difficulty questions and fairly better even in the difficult ones. I did not practice IR.
I did not have time to finish in any of the sections during the mock. So I had to randomly guess some of the questions. I am yet to review the test but I can tell even without reviewing that speed is the major concern.
During the next one month I intend to focus only on learning and applying concepts, techniques and strategies.
I intend to use some more books such as power score CR, Aristotle RC grail, Manhattan SC (I found these were most suggested in this forum).
Need some advice. I am targeting 720 in August 2019.

Hi Shorub,
Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so with just one month of book-heavy study, it's likely that you just have not put in enough time and effort to score higher yet.
"Review" is an exceptionally important part of the GMAT training process; your ability to define WHY you're getting questions wrong is essential to defining the areas that you need to work on (and the specific things that you need to 'fix'). As such, I'd like to know a bit more about your last CAT. While a full Mistake Tracker would provide a lot more information, there are some basic questions that you should be able to answer (and the more EXACT you can be with your answers, the better):
After reviewing each section of this recent CAT, how many questions did you get wrong....
1) Because of a silly/little mistake?
2) Because there was some math/verbal that you just could not remember how to do?
3) Because the question was too hard?
4) Because you were low on time and had to guess?
5) How many Verbal questions did you 'narrow down to 2 choices' but still get wrong?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
