Hi maaa22,
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How many months/weeks did you study? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
You might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi Rich, please see below for my answers. Thanks for your help!
Studies:
1) How many months/weeks did you study? How many hours do you typically study each week?
I studied from the beginning of May through the beginning of August and took my test in the beginning of August. I studied 10-20 hours/week depending on schedule 2) What study materials have you used so far?
Prepscholar, GMAT club forums, GMAT official math book, Kaplan Prep Plus Book 3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
* June 5th - GMAT Practice Exam 1 - score: 640 -- 43Q/35V
* July 5th - GMAT Practice Exam 2 - score: 690 -- 46Q/38V
* July 26th - GMAT Practice Exam 3 - score: 690 -- 47Q/38V
* August 2nd - GMAT Practice Exam 4 - score: 640 -- 41Q/36V (I remember being very tired taking this one).
I thought I was going to do closer to Practice Exams 2 & 3 when I took my official exam since I felt very calm and well rested, so I was surprised to see I got a 640. Goals:
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
My goal is to apply to start in fall 2021. 5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
UCLA, USC, Georgetown, UVA, and UT AustinYou might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report.
