I am retaking the GMAT in about 2 weeks. I first took the test about a month and a half ago and scored 730 (49Q, 41V), but scored 740 (49Q, 41V), 740 (48Q, 42V), and 760 (48Q, 47V) on three official GMAT practice tests in the two weeks before the test, so I decided to retake the test.
I only just got back into more intense studying and, today, took another official GMAT practice test to see what has been retained. I scored a 770 (49Q, 46V).
I have never studied verbal, so that could explain the variability, although maybe leisure reading more frequently helped the most recent score.
My goal is a 750 or higher, so should I focus more on bringing quant past that tough 49 point threshold, or making sure my verbal is more consistent and at or above a 44?
For focusing on quant, I would use the Manhattan Prep Advanced Quant book. For verbal, I would use their All-the-Verbal book. As for the amount of time I can allocate to studying, I could do 4 hours a day at the max, so approximately 60 more hours of study.

Getting that Quant to a Q49 would be helpful in terms of combo-ing your score to a 750+ level. For Verbal, it might be worth seeing which sub-section you slip up on if you do.
How to get a V40 or higher on the GMAT? What about a V51?

Man, you're already crushing, so there's a chance you just get the score already.
But, it's my experience (other experts, chime in if you disagree) that the very high quant score (49-51) is easier to maintain than the very high Verbal scores (43+).
This does NOT mean don't study verbal, but if you can get your quant to a consistent 50, that's a bit easier than a high verbal score. (The last time I took an official GMAT I scored a Verbal 47, I was really, really surprised--and I think I'm very strong at verbal. I basically never expect to do that again).
Also, definitely make sure you're using the Advanced Official Guide. You're looking for high consistency with the hardest things the test can throw at you.
My advice, practice both, focus on quant consistency, plan on taking the official test a few times just to get that 'lucky' day when you get the 44+ verbal score.

Hi extrakangaroo22,
First off, a 730/Q49 is an outstanding Score, so you can comfortably apply to any Business Schools that interest you. As such, a retest is probably not necessary. Assuming that you are interested in some highly-competitive Schools, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/
Obviously, there's no harm in continuing to study and retesting - and since you've scored 740 on a couple of your prior CATs/mocks, you might consider reviewing the questions that you got wrong on those Exams (with a focus on defining WHY you got those questions wrong). At your level, it's unlikely that the issues are content-related, so making some adjustments to how you work (including how you read, take notes, organize your work, etc.) might be all that's needed to pick up the additional points that you're looking for.
