You should go to the following steps:

1. Go through all the mgmat guides, if you have.
2. Go through all the OG's (10+11+12+OG Review)
3. Take GMATPREP tests.
4. Analyze the mistakes in GMATPREP tests.

Take the gmatprep tests at least 4 times--every test twice.

Then go for the real test.

About OG's:

Go through all the official explanation and prepare your own note. Review them time to time. It will help you.

Thanks.

Agewise I am in the same boat as you but I had been able to take time to study. I think before anyone can give any advice you need to post how poorly you are scoring on the on the practice tests, what practice test you are using, and what the scoring breakdowns are. It would also be helpful to know if you can clear out any study time a night (i.e a half hour, 1 hour) before bed. I know for me even though I was juggling work and a little baby I was able to train myself to stay up later at night than usual to get some studying in.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
