Hi jaiyeolab,
Unfortunately, by skipping the IR section on both of these CATs (and skipping the AWA section on the second CAT), neither of these scores can be considered accurate. By skipping those sections, you took a shorter (and by extension, easier) Test. While these two sets of Scaled Scores are consistent - meaning that you probably made the same general mistakes on both CATs - these scores are likely 'inflated' since you didn't have to deal with any of the endurance or fatigue 'challenges' that come from taking the FULL GMAT.
Thankfully, you still have plenty of time to study and properly prepare. Considering your score goal, from this point on, you really MUST plan to take the ENTIRE CAT each time.
Have you completed the GMAT books that you already have?

Thanks Rich. I sent you an email to your personal email address.
I have all the manhattan prep books ATM, and I have studied the algebra and number properties books, which were my weakest topics in my first practice test. I studied every single topic atleast twice using Sackmanns Math Bible, before I purchased the manhattan gmat books last week (i also answered all the questions in the books I am working with). I do not have the official GMAT book as of yet.
At this point I am not sure what the appropriate next steps for me are. I work 50 hours a week but I consistently put in atleast 20 hours studying weekly. The issue I am worried about now, is that if i continue studying, i would be wasting time on the wrong strategy.
Please what are your thoughts on the strategy I should be implementing or any products that cater specifically for people in my situation?
