Dear GMAT Club,
It may be boring to read my story, so if you are not keen on reading it all just leave the topic.
I have been on this forum for 1 year and a half (more or less), as I took the GMAT 2 times already with poor results. (around 550).
Last year I got a conditional offer from a top european university for an MSc in Finance, but since I did not reach the score I needed, the admission team was so unexpectedly gentle in offering me a deferral for this year intake. In the meantime after graduating I found an internship, therefore I am working in finance causing my studying hours for the GMAT to drastically decrease to 2 per day (studying 1h during the break and 1h once at home after a working day) during the week, while all the day during the weekends.
Studying finance does not necessarily mean that you know the GMAT's math, as I feel I lack some logic thoughts that someone with a more quantitative background (quantitative high school programs) has. My high school program was more humanistic while during bachelor the quants are about finance and not GMAT math, so even though my finance knowledge can be good, my pure mathematical one is incomplete.
The score I need to get into that business school is 650, while my actual mock CAT GMAT last week was 580. The business school has pressed me to book the GMAT soon reducing, even more, the time I have. I booked the GMAT 2 weeks ago under pressure and I will take it on the 5th of June.
I am focusing on both theory and exercises by topics and levels from the gmat club resources. I feel I am learning and improving a bit every day, but as the GMAT is in my life from one year it became a kind of obsession. I want to pass it and I am scared if I won't, it can be strange for some people but passing this exam in the way I want would make me happier than graduating. I have one week left and a lot of points to gain. My verbal score is just fine to get the wanted score.
If I arrived at the point to expose my situation in such detail, it means I just need some reassuring advice from you guys hoping that some of you were in the same situation or has some game changer for me to maximise the efficacy of my study.
I am open to ANY kind of advice. From the mental approach to the study to the test day approach.
It was hard for me to write this post, I hope you can grasp my feelings and my determination. (Sorry for my english but it was all stream of consciousness).
Thanks in advance to everyone who will spend part of his/her time to answer to this topic.

I can't help you because I tutor verbal only, but I strongly believe in hiring someone who can guide you in applying their strategies. If the strategies are good you probably don't need to be studying Around the Clock..so, recommend that you try out one on one tutoring, but check the references first to make sure their heart is in the right spot and they have a track record of success.
