Hi Shortie55,
An early-November Test Date gives you almost 2 months of additional study time, so you could absolutely hit your score goal by then (if you make the proper adjustments to how you 'see', and respond to, the GMAT. For most US Business Schools, Round 2 application deadlines are usually in December or January, so this gives you further time to study (and retest) as needed.
From what you've described, you took your last CAT about 2 weeks ago (give or take). What work have you done since then? Have you taken any additional FULL-LENGTH CATs? If you have, then how have you scored? If you have not, then you should plan to take one soon (perhaps this weekend), so we can see if you've made any progress since your class ended. Once you have that CAT score, you should report back here and we can talk through your ongoing study plan.
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
