Hi all-I'll be applying R1 this fall, targeting ~top 10 US programs. Overall, I think I have a strong application:
Work: 6 years experience at a high growth/impact startup, including multiple promotions and interesting assignments, and a letter of rec from the CEO
Undergrad: double major/double minor, 3.2 GPA, captain of a D1 athletics team
Ideally, I'd love to have a 695+ GMAT. Unfortunately, I'm a bit off the mark, and wondering about path forward. My last official mock was a 655. I was originally targeting to take the exam in a week, and I think a 665-675 is possible with a strong final week. I'm pretty burnt studying (off and on for the past year, with a pretty gnarly push these past 3 months) and work is about to get pretty demanding. However, I'm second guessing and wondering if I need to hold out for a 695+.
Thoughts on the situation? If I do stick for a 695+, thoughts on the GMAT Club Focus Elite package? I've exhausted TTP and most of the OG content.
Thanks!

Hi hammerfury. I am sorry this got lost in our support box that gets sometimes overrun by service and developer messages.
In terms of what you can do to improve a week before the test, it is really tough. You can take lots of tests but you don't want to exhaust yourself. My usual recommendation is to practice timing and making sure you do not end up running out of time on the test. https://gmatclub.com/forum/timing-strat ... 06035.html - a bit more on that. You can win/lose lots of points quite easily by managing the time well or poorly.
I would say that most tests are not designed to teach you much and mostly are designed to measure your performance and train your stamina. You learn a bit but these are all learnings from mistakes that take hours to generate. It is not super efficient, esp if you are short on time. Reviewing your error log, going after mistakes in particular to make sure they are all covered may be faster.
Since you asked about our tests, we tried to build GMAT Club tests specifically to teach you how to handle tricky situations where a question does not fit any patterns, or when you are forced to think outside the box or use an obscure (but still tested rule) but the tests will not teach you formulas and principles and basics. So you still need something to consult to LEARN the material so to speak in case you are lacking. We usually do not recommend the tests unless you already have a Q45/Q82 (whatever the equivalent is). Sounds like you do but just saying.
Also, GMAT Club tests are great for quant primarily. You won't get as much educational value for Verbal but the DI is up and coming. We currently have 7 DI tests and should have 10 within a week (fingers crossed dev's deliver - the questions are all already there).
About the Elite package, I think you can start with Standard or Pro and then decide to upgrade (see my email also about an offer).
I would also add that if you have exhausted TTP and lots of the OG content, getting more questions is likely not the answer. It won't hurt but I think greater improvement would come from revisiting your approach, review routine, etc.
