Guidance needed for my 2nd attempt

Hi All, I took my first attempt at GRE on Apr 10th and scored a 319 (Q - 161, V- 158) after spending a month with Gregmat (I didn’t complete the entire material and skipped a bunch of stuff), and I’m gearing up for another attempt.
I wanted to get some expert option about what my strategy should be for this attempt
1. My target score is 330+. Given my score right now, is it even possible? What strategy should I adopt this time? I’m led to believe that not just strategy, but there are gaps in my skillset (both verbal and quant) as well.
2. How thorough should I be with Gregmat material this time? I want to take my second attempt in July end. Is it realistic to hit my score in the time that I have?
3. Looking at the score report, could you please suggest what should be my focus area?
4. Do I need to rely on any other resource, besides Gregmat and PrepSwift. Please suggest.

Hi
your score in that specific time frame is perfectly doable. We have our ex-noid rx10 which in less time improved to 166 in quant and 162 in verbal starting from a score less than your
I believe
1) Quant - you need to pinpoint exactly where you are stong and dedicate fewer efforts and where you are WEAK and therefore reinforce your fundamentals. For example, I have struggled with geometry, but algebra is my forte. Go to our theory handout https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/gre-ma ... 29264.html, which contains everything for quant or our quant book advanced https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/gre-ma ... -2609.html the use our tags to find questions in that specific area of the gRE and practice. You have thousands of good questions. When you search for the most relevant questions by kudos or views and then use them, They also have stellar explanations by quant experts. Me included.
2) as for powerswift: it is the same of the links provided above. Moreover, you give me a week or so I will finish our quant premium question bank with approx 3000 questions hand picked one by one divided per area of contents. So you do not need to bother even to find good questions.
3) For verbal I believe you need to improve your vocabulary but , more important than that, the logic behind TC/SE and RC
If you want we do have the definitive guide for RC with examples https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/shorte ... 33410.html or TC https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/shorte ... 33604.html or CR https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/shorte ... 34077.html
The key in my view is to perform really well in the RC passages. Usually they are the nasty part of the entire game
3. Looking at the score report, could you please suggest what should be my focus area?
if you provide us your report we will have a look
4. Do I need to rely on any other resource, besides Gregmat and PrepSwift. Please suggest.
As I said, rx10 scored very well using only the forum for free. I do not see any other reason you should not improve with all the countless and well-creafted resources we do have already.
Let me know if you need further help
