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.

Hello There,
I am reaching out here because I need help in getting my score passed 700 and I really need it.
Below is brief about me and why I am reaching out to you :-
Profile:-
I am working as a Manager in Swiss-Bank for Operations and employee of IT Company.
GMAT History:-
I have spent a lot both time and money for a good score in GMAT score and I am not able to reach out to the mark I want to reach.
I am workaholic and bit lethargic in doing stuff that is not related to work.
I have a week point that I don't take things seriously unless I am approaching deadline.
Below is my GMAT history

Bottom of Form 26 46 600
As you can see since 2008 on/off I have been struggling to get 700+ GMAT score and max I have ever reached in any mock-test is 660.
There is no rocket science required to judge I need to work in Verbal and if I may add, it's RC that is screwing up my score more followed by SC and then CR.
Quants I struggle in 700+ level questions and end up spending too much time on it.
Both in 2008 and 2010 I joined some classes and spend 1000's of $ for no use. The problem is they start from very basic and they do not really concentrate more on tough questions. I do well in basic level questions and once I start getting tuff questions I start struggling and I lose confidence.
What I am looking for:-
I want to give GMAT just one more time before I will say "I-Quit" and look for other things I can spend time on, but I do have a dream to grad. top from B-School.
My work is crazy as I am handling big portfolio and can manage to give only 2 hrs max. on weekdays and 5-7 hrs on weekends.
I know myself I get burnt out soon so I can manage to compromise on work a bit and give some extra hours but I cannot focus if I know that exam date is more than 3 months away.
I work well when I have daily target and nearing milestones.
I am looking to prepare 6-8 weeks max and would prefer to take a course/pvt. tutor or some user who can work with me to improve my score.
I can manage but really do not want to spend huge amount.
I believe I have said enough, so my questions is can some help me and how much it gonna cost?

Dear cluelessMe,
I'm happy to respond.
First of all, here are a couple blogs that I think you will find germane:
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2014/gmat-study ... 0-or-more/
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2014/lower-on-t ... ice-tests/
Here are some free GMAT Idiom flashcards to drill:
https://gmat.magoosh.com/flashcards/idioms
Here's a day-by-day 3 month study plan to keep you organized:
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/3-month-gm ... l-focused/
To follow that, you will need a Magoosh membership, which is quite affordable compared to what you have already spent.
Finally, I will say: you seem to be living a lifestyle that is not maximally conducive to the samurai-like discipline & focus you need to cross the 700 threshold. I would say: you have to change your mindset from (excellence is something you want to do) to (excellence is something you strive to be). I would suggest reading this blog, and the blogs to which it links, very carefully:

Does all this make sense?
