Mock CATs stuck at 650...any improvement possible in 1 week?

My scores have improved from the earlier MGMAT CATs (610 and 580) to 650 (GMAT prep 1 and 2). Quant 44/45, verbal 34/35. I have eliminated 90% of silly mistakes but am struggling to improve my Quant score. My weaknesses in Quant, from analyzing the tests, are number properties, geometry and ratio/work problems. In preparing, I have used MGMAT books and run through the OG13 problems twice (second time after learning problem solving strategies) but it seems like I have conceptual weaknesses.

My test is next Monday, December 23rd and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to get 30-50 points in a week?

Be super-targeted in your focus. You are talking about getting a handful more questions right -- no need to boil the ocean here, just focus on where you can turn yellows into greens!

"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."
