Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I wrote my first GMAT back in 2012 when I got 700 (Q49,V36), however I plan to re-take (donno if an attempt after 4 years is still considered a "retake") around mid February. Have taken 1 MGMAT CAT and scored 690 but that was before I started re-preparing. I plan to solidify the concepts more than take too many mocks. I really need to reach a score of 740-750 this time, to offset my age of 33 :(

Q would never be a problem and I expect 50... it is the V that will make-or-break my score!

A GMAT score is valid for 5 years, so yes this would be considered a retake.
A 700 on the GMAT and 690 on the latest mock indicates that you have good grasp of the fundamentals.
I would recommend you to take a GMAT Prep CAT to find your actual understanding.

Also, I would advise you to opt for a preparatory course, so that you can make the leap from 700 to 750 by covering up the gaps.
Most of the companies including ours offer a free trial period. Use that period to your advantage and see if the course fits your needs.

Also, purchase the EP1 and QP1 from mba.com to solve more official questions.
