I need to help here... i had my first gmat exam today with a low score 540!
I studied almost 10 hrs a day since 1 Sept.. I took a short GMAT course in one of the school here.. so i am ok with CR, AWA and reading but i need some major help on maths and SC.
I am considering to retake the exam at end of Oct.
is there any good online course that I could attend while i am at Hong Kong right now?

10 hours a day for the past 20 or so days is a recipe for burnout in spectacular fashion. Unless you're especially different from most people, I'd venture to guess the first 3-5 hours (for the first few days) were productive, while the last 5-7 you were probably burned out to the point where you were A) no longer learning anything B) actually regressing due to fatigue or C) so tired that you were learning things incorrectly, especially after 8 or 9 consecutive days of putting yourself through such mental abuse.
Go back to the drawing board and start over, budgeting around 2 hours per day on weekdays and 4-5 on weekends. And make sure you give yourself a day off every 2 weeks or so. Take an online class, like MGMAT, if you want, and start working on a 2-3 month program to get your score up. It won't happen overnight, and at this point if you were expecting to apply R1 for this fall, it's probably a bridge too far.

i am planning to apply for Fall 2012... what about if i take another exam at end of Oct or early Nov?
the thing is ... i studied at new zealand before which the math i learned during my high school years and Uni was very simple.. so there is a big gap on the math area..
and i left school almost 10 years..
its gonna be hard for me..
