You've mentioned that you've taken "many" mock tests. Rich is right - more than 1 per week is too many! You're not giving yourself any time to dig into your areas of weakness, so you should have no reason to expect any improvement.

What you need is to pinpoint and track your errors carefully, and think about what you can do to fix them. For more, see here: https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog ... -studying/

Hi pranit.das,

With your current Test Date, you have about 3.5 weeks of study time remaining. Raising your overall score 100 points during that time will be somewhat challenging. I think that you would have a much better chance at scoring 700+ if you had 2 more months of study time. There's certainly no harm in taking the GMAT as scheduled, but since you've already admitted that you would continue studying if you did not hit that score goal on that date, I think that you have to consider that longer study plan right now (the specific advice and resources that I would suggest to you require that longer study time).
