Analysis after 2 weeks of preparation

The first full-length test(Princeton review) i have taken i scored 470.Probably this is the reason why I was soo depressed to start my preperation.Some how I pused myself to book the date and started the preparation with sentance correction and critical reasoning.

Slightly confident i decided to take the test again and got a score of 520.What to do now is the question.No significant improvement of score.Depressed again. However i felt that verbal section was slightly under control.Some of the answers in SC I was damn sure they were right ,the second time i took the test.From what i observed,i lacked this confidence in answering atleast few questions ,the first time.

But one question nagging me at back of my mind mind.Is princeton review the right gauge of my score?Both the times I took the test i only got 3 questions wrong and none of them in first 10 in quant and my score in quant was 43 both the times and also the verbal questions are quite lengthy and answers options are ambiguous too(may be most of the questions are hard level questions).

So I decided to take GMAT800 test.And i got a score of 620.Now i felt really good as i am getting close to my target of 700.

When practicing OG-10 CR ,i am getting most of the questions right(50/60).However i never got soo many questions in exam (generally 4-6 right of 12-14).This may be because of the time pressure.Need to work a little bit on this.After taking two exams I decided to break verbal into 2 parts.0-33 questions  in first 60 mins and the rest in remaining 15 mins,as i read in some forum that there will always be a RC passage in last 7-8 questions.
