Ok I might sound a bit harsh, but I would advice against taking the test again in a month. I know someone who scored 10 points less when he re-took the test after a month. This is a bad idea because you might already be exhausted after your first try. I would suggest give yourself a break. Then when you are fully motivated get back into it and look at your weaknesses but don't forget your strengths. By improving on your weak areas you will gain the most point gain but also keep practicing on your strong areas and with consistency and strong will, I am sure you can achieve your target score. Don't be disappointed with a bad score just take it as a challenge to prove that you can do much better than this.

Best of luck

Sorry to hear about the score; on the other hand, 530 is the 50th percentile, so are still better than half of those guys at the test center :)
