From your post I can see that you have crammed too much stuff in a short time. Your classroom sessions should have been intense by itself. There are a lucky/talented few who get to their target scores very soon, but for others it takes concentrated effort to reach. I would suggest that you do a thorough analysis of the areas you need to improve and focus your efforts accordingly. Taking prep tests without the homework will not take you anywhere. You could definitely reuse the materials particularly the OG11. I am sure you will have something new to learn each time you try the problems. You could continue with the remaining CATs and the second GMAT prep. But remember you should take a test only after you have thoroughly analyzed and taken action on the result of the earlier test. In my experience, this would take more than a week by itself. Wish you good luck.

"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."
