Part of the challenge with the GMAT is that a very high score such as above 95th percentile or 99th percentile is like an inverted pyramid and the higher the score the greater the scope of knowledge you need to have and be prepared to address in the answer.
There are just a lot of small things that take time to learn especially in critical reasoning and a lot of this is not so much the knowledge but how to apply it because some of the questions are not very traditional so seeing some questions you may not even know how to solve them the first time you see them. And you only have 2 minutes
Moreover, even people starting with very humble scores, it takes about three months to get about 120 - 150 points of improvement with constraint studying and the first month to improve 75 points, second month improve another 50 in the third month they improve the remaining 20 or 25
Unfortunately, I dont have a lot of successful experience templates to share for intense prep. It is possible but it varies person by person. Some need more help in one area such as CR and others in PS for example. The challenge is usually processing and retaining. It takes time to absorb and apply. You can try focusing on mistakes and follow that trail you almost have to since most courses are designed for 2 or more months.
Its good you started at a solid base. However, its a lot easier to improve when you have a 550 that a 660. If youre looking for a high score, you should definitely aim for Q 50 or Q 51.

You are giving yourself four weeks to score 770?
I think thats not very realistic in terms of expectations or goals. Unless youre starting. Forget that, I dont know where youre starting from unless its 750, I dont think four weeks would get you to 770 from cold.
I'm starting from 660, I was hoping with an intensive study program I could achieve it but slowing realising there's a lot of work involved (I thought math would be able to carry me but it seems a 49Q is meaningless). Is 740 achievable?
