A few questions for you before I can give you more specific advice:

1. What are your weaknesses? As in, which areas do you feel you do especially poorly in?
2. You noted anywhere from 75 to 80% accuracy on questions in study materials - what level of difficulty questions were you getting wrong?
3. What were your average scores on the tests you took?
4. What were the breakdowns on the scores on the tests you took?

For now, the general recommendations would be to focus on the sections you feel you're getting most questions wrong in, to pace yourself on your practice tests (don't have too much time leftover, and don't run out of time in the end - find a good balance for you), and to try to stay calm on the day of the test.

Good luck!

I agree with Jim. If you isolate what your problem areas are, then post them, I'd be able to offer some more specific advice...

While you used alot of material, less than half of it really counts as 'solid' or the best...

It should aways be quality over quantity.

looking forward to hearing more insight.

700 is currently 90th percentile - so 10% of test takers score 700 or above.
