Hi Zag,
How is your final week of studying shaping up? The 19th is coming up fast, and I hope all is well.
Jumping from 510 to 650 in 4 weeks is certainly possible. I have seen people jump by this amount by coming through a prep class (6 hours a week of class, 6 hours a week of homework, 7 weeks). That's 84 hours of test prep. So, concievably you might be able to see a similar jump with 21 hours a week of studying over 4 weeks. The key is having a class or having materials (and good self motivation) that can teach you the fundamentals, familiarity with problem format, and tips and tricks.
I'd love to hear an update; I'm sure others as well would love to help give you advice for your last week.
Best wishes,
Tatiana
