What should be my strategy for the next few days?

Question

Hello all, I have my test scheduled on 26th september and I am right now at the end of my preparation. I have bought experts global mock tests. One and a half month before I gave 1st free official mock and scored 620 in it, after that I gave experts globals mock as follows:
1) 650 - Q48 V31 (9 august)
2) 680 - Q48 V35 
3) 680 - Q49 V33
4) 700 - Q49 V37 (2nd september)

My target is 730+, what should be my strategy from here onwards? My accuracy in Verbal is not that great, especially CR assumption questions and some SC questions.

Hi..Would advise you to practice using Forum Quiz for CR and SC. A graduated practice from low --> medium --> hard will assist.

For Verbal, consider working on your solving approach. May boost your score a bit. Had a 6-hour student go from a V41 to a V45 in about 10 days. Perhaps find a study buddy. Have suggested Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for SC and CR to students.
