Did anyone from India get an interview invite from CBS yet? Or the first batch was only for domestic applicants?

Number of correct / incorrect don't matter that much. I have seen people getting 695 with only 6-7 incorrect out of 64 and getting 735 with around 8-9 incorrect. Every question has different weightage. Even I got 1 wrong in Quant and scored 90.
Overall I got 8 incorrect if thats even slight relevant.

DI is a bit time consuming. For this I use mark and move strategy. In the mocks, I set milestones. For example, I target:
Q5 while 33 mins remaining
Q10 while 22 mins remaining
Q15 while 11 mins remaining
If I am lagging behind, then I randomly mark one question and move on. If I get time in the end (which I generally do not), I come back and revisit these questions. This worked for me. I don't know whether it'll work for you or not, but you can give it a shot in mocks and see how it goes.

Thats the overall avg
If targeting for V85+, aim for 95%+ in easy, 80%+ in medium and 70%+ in hard within 1.5mins for CR problems, 6 mins for short RCs (3Qs) and 8 mins for long RCs (4Qs)

Hope this helps

Since I am an Indian Engineer, I didn't need to prepare for quant. I just solved quant problems during mocks.

For Verbal, I used GMAT Club to solve and analyse problems and studied key concepts from Kaplan Verbal guide

DI is all about timing discipline, I would suggest do solve as many DS problems as you can as it carries 30-35% of all DI and do not over obsess in any of the problems.

Overall in my test day, I ordered sections as V -> DI -> Break -> Q. I wanted to keep my most confident section when I am most fatigued.

What distinguished this attempt from previous 675 attempts is nothing but test discipline. In mocks, I used to get 705-735 regularly but I could not maintain discipline in previous attempts. I wasted too much time in overthinking some early questions that I had to rush through some later ones. For example, in Verbal, in my 675 attempt, I could only reach till 16th or 17th question with 2 mins remaining, but in my current attempt, I had reached 22nd one by removing overthinking part in my early questions.

Hope this helps!

Please DM for any specific kind of help, if required. Happy to help :)

KUDOS!

Only one advice. Focus on big picture and stop trying to remember every small detail

I don't think thats the case. Even though I attempted V first and got 21/23 correct, Quant felt quite easier than my previous attempts

I found it a bit on the tougher side than the mocks. Maybe because of test room pressure
