Edit (10AUG): I have completed 40% of TTP within the last 4 weeks hitting all the required accuracies. Finished the first review exam. I took a GMATClub Quant CAT (free) today and received a Q40.
Currently at 130 Hours studied for GMAT.
So MGMAT Q35 (40 hours studied) to GMATClub Q40 (130 hours studied) in 4 weeks. I hear GMATClub quant is a bit easier than MGMAT so I am not sure if it is a noticeable jump. I feel a lot more competent on many questions now, however was hoping for a slightly higher score after 4 weeks. I am thinking I will need 300-400 hours of studying, another 100 to finish TTP and another 100-150 for verbal/OG/CATs.
My timing strategy was not ideal and I think I just need to finish TTP and answer OG questions and do many CATs for the endurance and further review to get that Quant to a 48 or 49.
Any input or words of encouragement would be great!

Hello,
27 year old, currently a U.S. Army officer attempting to study for GMAT while on deployment. I have put in around 40 hours of study over the past 3 weeks on Problem Solving exclusively. I am a bit discouraged scoring a 560 (Q35, V32) as I was an electrical engineering major in undergrad at a top 10 university.
I honestly rushed through without too much worry and as a result had 22 minutes left on quantitative section and 19 minutes left on verbal section. Perhaps all of that extra time I could have got an extra question or two correct.
After reviewing the questions I got wrong in Quant, there have been less ‘ahah’ moments and more simple mistake moments. So hopefully my next CAT which I will take a lot more seriously in 2 months goes much better.
I am a little rusty with the basics so I am currently going through basic 500 questions on all problem solving types after reading about the theory. I also read about 1 hour of Dostoevsky novels each night as my tougher, verbal material. I won’t need to complete an application until September 2020 so I have just over a year to reach my goal score of 700+ To try for a top 3 school. I hope it is feasible within a year to reach this goal score. I am willing to take the GMAT 5 times if need be and cancel lower scores.
Any input would be great.
Thank you.

Hey Sawneagle, don't read too much into your 560 on MGMAT. You're probably at a 600 level on the real one. Rushing through questions is a bad idea, you'd need to learn to manage time in a way that you don't have more than a few mins remaining after your section. I'd suggest analyzing your mock and drilling down to your weaknesses and work until they're your strengths. Keep giving mocks and remember to analyze them carefully. Also, if you have time on your hand, i'd recommend a focused 2-3 month prep to get to your target score. The more you stretch your prep, the more you'll tend to forget. A 700+ score is within your reach, my friend.

Thank you for the encouragement! I had done 3 hours of studying before it as well so was a bit worn out. It was more of an introduction to understand the adaptive nature of the test and the scope of questions it will ask. I have a much better understanding of what the GMAT entails now. I know I could have slowed down, I did it more intentionally just to get through it (obviously wouldn’t do this on a $250 exam).
