How Realistic is a 700 GMAT?

I initially took a cold practice quiz which was roughly 20 questions, with a combination of Quant and Verbal in which it said my range was 540-560. I have not seen/done any of this since high school which is 6+ years ago so I recently purchased Magoosh since it was the most cost effective, it is learn at your own pace, and they have video lessons with explanations which I desperately need for the refresher. I was going to focus on working through all the lessons, then attacking practice problems from both Magoosh and Official GMAT practice. I was then going to purchase the 6 practice exams from the Official GMAT and run through those. while logging all of my errors, and focusing on my weaknesses. I was planning to space out each practice exam 1-2 weeks apart to allow me to lock in on the errors. My goal is to take the test in either October or November. Is my goal of a 700 feasible and what should I do differently, if anything? Thank you in advance.

Personally found cram schools pretty helpful, like those taught in person instead of having you watch pre-recorded tutorials. At least that’s how lots of us asian folks scored 730+ in 3-4 months. But still, if that extra score matters that much to your target school.
