Hi fvoci,
Congrats on great improvement in just 8 weeks. 610 to 710 is huge improvement to begin with. I am currently sailing in the boat of lower 600. But your post gives good hope to achieve a 700+.
During my prep, I had also seen 700+ in gmatprep mocks, but on th e test day everything went south.
So I would like to ask you, how did you plan your 8 weeks and what did you do to achieve a 100 point improvement.
Thanks

One of the things that helped me the most was ensuring that I get fully comfortable with 500 level questions for both quant and verbal. Once I could do 10-20 500 level questions without more than 10 to 20% mistakes I started focusing on the 600 level questions. When you start to make mistakes see which sections you are more prone to error to and dig deeper into those sections. I would go to the gmatclub question discussions and find a series of questions relating to work/rate problems for example and do 10-20 of those.
Now I am focusing more on 700 level questions only and as the advice of others has indicated I have to dig even deeper into the sections that I have weaknesses in.
Maintaining an error log doesn't mean you keep doing the same questions over and over again, it means you have an indication of what section results in more mistakes for you.
Believe me you can do it.
