EDIT: Added latest scores.

I'd spend more time to be honest, you're in the range of a 700, but that range can be 30 pts plus or minus

Even if you are applying round one this year, you have time to practice more before taking the test, I'd hold off until mid to late September and spend the extra time working on your weak points. Increase the chance that you'll do 700 or better.

I would have to agree with Avinash_Tyagi. Unless you can build a nice buffer of 30 points, I would seriously consider putting off the test until I was even more confident I had tackled my weak areas. (No need for an Achilles Heel). I would say if I was scoring consistently in the 730 range, then I would be far more confident to hit or break the 700 barrier. Note that many of your scores are in the mid 600s. Beware.

Thanks for the feedback so far everybody, you've basically re-iterated my thoughts/worries. I've decided that I'm going to take it on the 17th (less than a week) and see how I do. If its under my goal then I'll give the Knewton course a shot and in 6 weeks take the GMAT again.

Any other feedback is greatly appreciated!
