20 sums in 5 minutes left means you solved 17 in 70 minutes. You do have a pacing problem.

I guess just brush up both your quant and verbal concepts.That should solve your pacing problem and also get you in your target zone.

Use all the OG's you have thoroughly. Read the explanations well. One month is enough time to do so.

I think 600+ is quite manageable in a month. Work on your fundamentals religiously. Keep an error log as that will help you revisit the errors you make.Analyze each question properly and make sure that you go through the explanations.
