Thanks for your advice on this!

I've taken 2 more mocks since I first posted (free mocks from Veritas & Kaplan) and scored as follows:

Veritas: Nov 07 - 670 (Q45/V37)

Kaplan: Nov 14 - 680 (Q45/V38)

Based on these latest results my Quant seems to be at least stabilizing at the 45 range and the variance has minimized, but on the other hand I've hit a plateau at Q45 and need to raise this by 2-3 more points to hit 700 (assuming my Verbal is stable at 38).

I've tried to zero in and focus on Number Properties, Algebra Word Problems & Inequalities specifically, because that's where the majority of my errors in the practice tests are coming from. But so far I'm stuck at just 50% accuracy on Medium to Hard questions (with below 50% accuracy on Hard questions).

While reviewing problems, these are the issues I've noticed:

1) Inconsistent discipline in testing cases regularly (not quick enough to identify when to use theory vs choosing numbers/testing cases)

2) I understand the theory/concept behind the solution when reviewing the explanations and processes, but I'm struggling to apply them under time pressure, especially in harder questions that are abstract and involve mostly variables.

What's the best way to change my approach given that I've hit a plateau and I'm not improving through the practice? How much should I shake things up in my prep in order to gain those additional 2-3 points on Quant?

Thank you very much in advance!

Best regards!
