My personal opinion- I suggest you buy MGMAT SC Guide. It is very helpful in teaching you the different concepts and question types. This will help you appreciate the analysis you have already made.
Take GMAT prep test to see where you stand before you take the actual one.

GMAT prep tests has only two tests that come with it. You could retake the test but the questions may be different from the earlier two to some extent, with remaining being a repeat.

To improve your score by more than a 100 points a this stage, you will need to very clinical in your approach. Identity the areas where you are weak, you will have to carefully review each test you have taken to list down the areas and question types you have got wrong. Work on each of them.

There is a tendency for people to think that the first 10-15 questions are more important than the other. But it is a MYTH not a reality. All questions are equally important on the test. So you should treat each question with the respect it deserves- whether it is the second, tenth, twentieth or the...

GMAT prep is the best of what is available today. KAPLAN generally gives you lesser scores. I have no idea on ARCO but I have heard they are easier than the actual ones. So I would suggets that you plan on the basis of your GMAT prep scores.

620 with very little prep is a good score. In my opinion you should look at time you have on hand, hrs you can dedicate, target score and then decide what you need to do next. Most of them manage with self prep with books that are available in the market. :D If you feel you need to enrol in a course...

The score depends on the difficulty level at which you answered consistently well. It does not directly depend on no of questions you got right or wrong.

I think you will have five minutes to read through instructions which you can use to work on the booklet. I am not sure whether this will help though. You may have to make that call

60-70 prep tests
I think you should focus on the OG in very qualitative terms. Identify the areas where you are weak and work on it. You cannot improve your score by just taking prep tests. Devise a plan that would work for you.

Taking the exam is definitely welcome if you are sure that you can score better by 20-30 points. Schools will not consider it as a negative aspect.

If you have got 650+ without any prep, in my opinion 720-730 looks like a target you can definitely achieve. I think you should include the other OGs in your prep. But you already too much to cover in 6 weeks I guess. So plan your time, devise a strategy, have check points through periodical tests. ...
