Study Plan - Manhattan 323 to 330+ ?

Hello all,
I am fresh off the GMAT boat, looking to get a competitive score on the GRE to make some MBA application deadlines (the whole GMAT online whiteboard situation was not working for me)
I have been brushing up on my vocabulary for the last 7-10 days, supplementing that with some Quant drills from Manhattan's 5lbs book.
I took a Manhattan practice test today and scored 323 (Q164 - 1 wrong in the first section, 2 wrong in the second section) V159 (6 wrong in the first, 10 in the second).
I had a couple of questions for the GRE experts on this forum:
1. Is 164 realistic for only 3 incorrect answers? The scoring methodology in the ETS book for the paper exam puts 3 wrong questions at Q170
2. What is the best strategy for me to improve my vocab in the next few weeks to score ~330? What should I focus on? So far I've used Barron's essential words and Magoosh's vocab app.
Thanks!

Hi
as for the first question look at this post to know how the score is calculated https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/a-gre-sco ... 15097.html
for the second I suggest to use the vocab section at gregmat.com https://www.gregmat.com/learn-vocabulary
Also you can use this which is a megalist of all the best lists https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... 2009214833
However, stick at the meaning of the sentence overall not just the vocab.
Ask for further assistance

Thanks @carcass for the super prompt response.
Thanks for sharing these links. gregmat looks like a fun a way to learn fairly abstruse words!
