Hi All,
I am preparing for my final attempt at gmat that is going to be the first gmat focus attempt. For my final retake i had joining an online live session
course wherein they covered the course but use gmatclub content for teaching and practicing questions such as manhattan/kaplan etc. Now although it just brushed up my skills and we use to practice questions during the session and afterwards working on manhattan/other questions on gmatclub compiled by them in form of practice sets. The course finished in about less than 3 months and then i started practicing and also giving mocks as per my instructor. However i am unable to score well in mocks as of now and especially struggling with DI and the time management. In classic edition atleast i could score 700+ multiple times but here i am not even able to reach 645 and mostly hovering around 585 or so. Below are my scores
Based on each mock my instructor just looked at the scores and asked to practice more in the areas that i thought were weak as per the mock. So i did that practice on egmat TTP trial versions and have been doing OGs as well (not finished yet). for my last mock gmat prep focus i had taken a 2 week gap to work on DI (TTP/egmat) but not much on MSR part. Also practiced quant using the same and couple of whole 21 questions set from OG. Do not have DI OG as of now (only DS questions). Now for verbal i used to practice CR and RC from OG but not on day to day basis mostly alternate days or more. I have observed that i falter in time management like a tend to get stuck on a question at times especially in initial apart and have spent 5 -7 minutes on those and have rushed at the end especially for DI/verbal.
I am a little disheartened seeing these scores as my target is 685+ for sure. DI is my biggest weakness as of now that i can see and in verbal i think need to speed up. I am a working professional working 12-9:30 pm weekdays and can spare 2-3 hrs daily on weekdays and 4-5 hrs on weekends. But i need some advice now how to go about this and improving my scores, how to practice, what time to study and so on.
Shall i make use of forum quiz to practice and if yes how to leverage that.

If you feel it takes you a bit of time to "warm up", consider doing a few questions before your mocks. Perhaps do a small RC or a few CR questions an hour beforehand. Might also be worth considering which times of the day you perform better on a full mock (e.g. afternoon).
How to get better on the GMAT. Think of time management as time currency.
Did the warmup quiz of 3 verbal and 4 quant questions in last mock. Stuck on 3rd quant question for 5 minutes and also another one in between about 4 mins. DI as usual takes time for me. What's the best source to practice now without enrolling in any course as I have already paid for one.
