Retaking GMAT---Need Suggestions

Hi,

Last month I scored 440 (Q38 V10) AWA 4.5 on my second GMAT. A little frustrated as I put some efforts to study GMAT. I studied for 3 months weekend (Saturday & Sunday 4-5hrs) as my weekdays schedule is quite hectic. I refer OG12 & 800score.

Now, I plan to go for more serious study plan & I decide to go for full time study in next 40 days (10+ hrs a day) & retake the exam in mid June 2010, as I am planning to apply for Jan 2011 intake. (Aug1 2010 last date of application submission)

It will be really helpful if someone can share or suggest a good 40 days preparation plan, as I am targeting score between 630-700. I can groom myself in Quantities but Verbal is a big problem. Any suggestion, how to improve Verbal. (Considering 40 days plan)

I am an independent Consultant & taking 40 days off from my work, it’s a big risk & loss of money but I feel it’s worth if I can get a good score.

Thanks in advance.
