My question goes out to all the experts here on this forum. My GMAT score earlier this month was 620 (Q44/V32)after I consistently scored 650 in my prep exams. Weak areas in quant are number properties and some word problems. Verbal, it is RC (I just didn't practice enough to be honest).
Looking to get a score of close to 700. Can I achieve this if I re-take GMAT end of February?
Thanks.

I think 2 months is enough time to increase your score to the 700 level.
Now that you've identified your weaknesses, you can use BTG's tagging feature to focus on those question types. For example, here are all of the questions tagged as statistics questions: https://www.beatthegmat.com/forums/tags/ ... statistics
See the left side of that linked page for more tag options.
I also suggest that you spend a lot of time reviewing the responses from the Experts on this site, since they often model the steps you should be taking when answering question.
When it comes to Reading Comprehension (RC), I don't believe that there's one specific approach that works best for everyone. I always recommend that students spend some time experimenting with different strategies to see which one best suits their memory, reading speed and English proficiency.
If you're interested, we have a free set of videos that cover all sorts of Reading Comprehension strategies: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat- ... prehension
Finally, in addition to learning the core concepts and GMAT-specific strategies, be sure to work on your endurance and test-taking skills (e.g., time management) by taking several practice tests.
