[MOCK 1] 5 August: 700 (47Q 40V)
[MOCK 2] 7 August: 740 (50Q 41V)

[ACTUAL GMAT] 12 August: 720(47Q 41V 8IR 5AWA)
Journey:
I started preparing for my GMAT April of 2022. I started by taking an official mock exam to see where I was and ended up scoring a 570.
I wasn't expecting much so I signed up for TargetTestPrep which was recommended by a close friend of mine who had been accepted to HBS and had nothing but great things to say about the program. I definitely recommend it after being done with it. TTP has a great tool in which you can see everything you have to accomplish in a calendar format. You select how many hours per day/week you can study while balancing work and other commitments and it calculates a pretty solid pan for you to follow.
My plan extended from mid-April to the very last day before the exam (I only ended up taking 3 mocks out of the 6 available, however). After everything was said and done, I had completed ~90% of the TTP Course. It is a grind but I could almost guarantee that if do the course in its entirety, you will do great in the GMAT. It is a very tough process, and you will have to make many sacrifices if you want to do really well. I would study after work from around 8-12 (I'm a nocturnal person) so there would be days where I would miss out on the gym. Also, on weekends I would go out on Fridays, recover mid-day Saturday and study the other half, and then spend all Sunday studying. it is not fun but it gets the job done.
This exam is a lot more about how much work you put in rather than how smart you are.
Another important point is to control your test anxiety and if you don't know a question, try your best and skip!!! I found myself frustrated at one quant question and ended up running out of time to answer the last 3 questions which hurt my overall quant score.
Q, V, IR, AWA Breakdown:
For Quant, TTP is EVERYTHING you need. They have a very thorough quant review and I felt extremely prepared going into the exam. If I had not mismanaged my time, I believe I could have done better.
For verbal, TTP was a good intro. I also complemented my studies with GMATNinja videos and by getting the official GMAT verbal book to do additional problems.
For IR and AWA, I pretty much went in without studying besides knowing the format from the mock exams
