Greetings.
As the title suggests, I took the GMAT a few days ago and scored a disappointing 670. My last full length (under real test day conditions) practice test score was a 730 (Q45/V45) on a MGMAT CAT. This was a CAT that I had not taken before, so all the questions were new.
I have set a retake date for the first week of December and would really appreciate advice on how to best use this next month. Some useful info:
1) I have been through all the MGMAT materials
2) I have been through the Magoosh premium program (still have a subscription)
3) I am a native English speaker
4) up until the last month I had focused almost exclusively on Quant
5) I have almost come to grips with not being able to get more than a Q 46/47; I took the GMAT last fall and got a 660 (Q44/V37). I just think that after putting in an additional 100+ hours of primarily Quant-based studying, I still never got to the consistent Q48-Q50 territory (unfortunately)
6) I know I can get a V45+ as I scored a V45+ in several practice tests
7) With my job, it very difficult to study 2+ hours a day AND get 8 hours of sleep
Thanks in advance for any insight.

I agree it may be worth it for you to retake in your situation. We would recommend that you religiously review mistakes from your existing study resources and also explore the questions in our Practice Pill Platform.
Each night before you go to bed, make a mental not of all the mistakes you made that day. Then when you wake up the next day, mentally go through a few of those questions that you got wrong the day before.
If you feel comfortable, take our feel online practice test (link below) and see how you do. Use the above process and you should be able to learn from your mistakes that much more effectively.

Hi Striderite3
Glad to hear that you're giving it another try. First, I understand that your weekday schedule is hectic. Generally speaking, if you devote about 2 hours each week day to studying, we recommend that you spend at least 4 hours studying each weekend day. Of course, each person's situation is unique, and so is his/her knowledge level.
In the next month, don't forget to practice all parts of the exam. While quant is your weakness and it's good to focus on improving that, hone in on your strengths too. You may also want to take several simulation test in real conditions at the same time of the day as your scheduled exam. Come exam day, do exactly what worked for you when prepping.
Also, how is your time management? If you had time management issues during the first time around, you may want to work on this as well. Time management is a key factor on the GMAT.
Lastly, stay confident. The good news is, you know what to expecton exam day and have done the leg work, you just need tightening up.
Best of luck in December! And if you need additional support on improving your score, let us know: https://econgm.at/freetrialoffer.
