GMAT Strategy

I noticed my 2 biggest areas of weakness were data sufficiency problems and sentence correction.

What's the best way to improve my score in these areas?

I want my 700+

Have you seen the DS and SC resources on the GMAT Resources Wiki?: https://www.beatthegmat.com/wiki/

With a 680 on GMATPrep, you should already be within striking distance of a 700. I think with a smart preparation strategy, you should be in a good place to reach your target in a month.

Take some time to study this thread: https://www.beatthegmat.com/viewtopic.php?t=68

I definitely recommend systematically identifying your weaknesses and working at them. It takes a lot of effort, but the system outlined in this thread is really worthwhile.

Best of luck!

Would need much more detailed data to tell you what to work on and to assess your chances for improvement. But generally agree with Eric that if you are at a 680 now, you are in a good position. Don't underestimate the amount of time it can take to prep, though. A month is not enough for most people (though it depends on how well you study).

I'm thinking with some more work on data sufficiency and sentence correction ill be ok.

Great score! Keep up the practice and stay confident. You'll rock the test.
