First GMAT attempt: 605 (Q82, V81, DI77) — planning retaking in 7 to 9 weeks, would love advice on how to approach the retake

Gave my Gmat on the 13th August and endded up with 605(Q82, V81, DI77). I thinking of taking TTP or E-gmat or a personal tutor to help me with verbal & DI particularly.

Quant
I was dissappointed with Quant - 82. I made silly mistake on Q4 & Q5 which i reliased during review and corrected both the questions. I got 19/21 questions correct but I think due to the silly mistakes early on I was penalized. I questions got so easy that I had 10 minutes to review the questions.

Verbal
This section went as expected. I am weaker on Reading Comprehension(especially inference questions). My time mangement on Verbal is not good. I had to sacrifice 4 questions of Reading comprehension so that I can attempt CR (my stronger section) with enough time on hand.

Time Management on verbal

Data Insights
My weakest section. Data sufficiency and MSR always consume huge amount of time which hampers my Graph & tables section.

Can you provide me with ideas on how to move forward. I am thinking of contacting some mentor/guide who could guide me on how to move ahead with this baseline. I am feeling kind of lost because i have completed Gmat Ninja youtube playlist for Verbal & Data insghts. And had taken Wizako classes for Quant, Verbal & data insights.
I had thought of contacting Gmat ninja mentors for guidance but i found $320 per hour costly hence still exploring my way ahead.

Thank you! and eagerly waiting for your guidance.
