Hello Experts,
I need some advice to get my GMAT focus score up to 675
So I have been studying on average 3 hours a day, pretty consistently for the last 4 months. I started by reviewing and getting familiar with all the concepts aiding myself with the TTP course, and about a month and a half ago I moved to only practicing questions from the official gmat question bank. I felt pretty confident but my results in official gmat practice test weren't what I expected nor what I know I could achieve:
Test 1 (4/5/24): 645 (V:87 Q:77 DI:81)
Test 2 (19/5/24): 535 (V:84 Q:73 DI:72)
In verbal I am pretty confident as my results have been good and consistent.
Data Insight I had many doubts in both attempts as for what my results would be, it kind of surprised me my good performance on the first test but I knew that it was a posibility that I score lower. I'm not sure how to study this section other than making excersises, and I have doubts if I should focus on getting right the questions where prehaps I have strength (graph/multi source) or if I should focus on strengthening weaker areas (data sufficiency)
In Quant I was dissapointed because I have a engenieering background and because of the months of preparation I had. Eventhough in my second attempt I was able to handle time better and I got more correct questions than the first one, I made a stupid mistake not answering the final question because I ran out of time. And the same happened in the DI section. I don't know how much that penalty could have impacted both scores.
So now, I am planning my next steps for improving my score and there is where your guidance would help me a lot. I've already done most of the quant question bank's questions so perhaps I need new material. Any strategy you could recommend me would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi
Regarding how to move forward with your prep, I recommend[/color]=11pt[color=#0d0d0d] concentrating on one subject at a time while studying. This allows for thorough understanding and practice, which is key to improving your score.
For example, let's consider your study of Number Properties. First, immerse yourself in all aspects of this topic, and then, focus solely on Number Property questions. After each problem set, take the time to delve into your incorrect answers. This self-reflection is a powerful tool that allows you to understand your learning process and make significant improvements. For instance, if you made a mistake in a remainder question, ask yourself why. Was it a careless error? Did you not apply the remainder formula correctly? Was there a concept in the question that you didn't grasp?
By meticulously analyzing your mistakes, you will efficiently address your weaknesses and, consequently, enhance your GMAT quant skills. This process has been unequivocally proven to be effective. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all Quant, Verbal, and DI topics.
