Do you know which areas you need the most work in? If you can narrow that down, maybe you can find some resources to work on the advanced questions for those areas. Maybe you should do an inventory to see what you are solid in, and move on with various topics until you figure out which ones are preventing you from getting a higher score, then find resources that help you with just that specific area. A 670-680 is still a really good score, and makes me think that maybe you need more work in advanced topics. For instance, if you need more work in things like Prob/Perms/Comb/Stats, then you could look at getting Project GMAT, or EZ Logic and Stats. There is also EZ advanced, and I like the book Math Workout by Sapienti which has some problems which are meant to be more difficult than those seen on the GMAT in order to raise the bar, so that when you take the test, hopefully the problems you see will seem easier.

No problem. I have actually been following my own advice. Last night I was going through EZ Solutions and forcing myself to organize my notes and learn all of the concepts I've been ignoring because they were more difficult. I finally figured out how to use the word translation for percentage problems, which is way easier than my previous fly-by-the-seat of my pants approach. More and more of the problems in the OG are starting to look familiar as I close in on each different technique! Good luck!
