In this period, I attempted 4 Pract Tests as well; wherein I got 560(GMAT Prep), 590(Kaptest 1 / 2) and 560(MGMAT1). I have noticed that when I solve the question on Prac Tests, more questions go wrong with silly mistakes even the simple one's. On an average, in every section I analysed that I could get at least 3 more correct. However, when I practice question banks w/o time limits, I get almost all correct (except for some tough ques).
I feel like while timing my ques (or attempting Prac Tests), I just run on it rather than solving; either sometimes due to lack of concentration or sometimes I miss a small silly condition which could have got me the correct answer.
Please advise how to manage my time efficiently in this case.
If answer is practicing, then as observed its not working as there is no consistency in my scores.

My GMAT is scheduled exact 1 month from now (6Oct), and plan to score at least 670. Can I improve in this time frame. I can dedicate 3-4 hours daily as well. Also I have prepared a plan accordingly but seeing above issue not so confident on the approach.

The video is helpful, and I will certainly implement it into my plan.
However, how much time at the max this approach (as mentioned in the video) will take to effect; I am considerate with my exam scheduled a month from now. Will I be able to achieve it?

If say I spend 5 minutes on a really hard question, but I still get it right, will the test consider it was too much for me, regardless and lower my overall score?
