Hi Farzaneh,
There's a significant difference between a 350 and a 530, so if you actually scored 530 on this recent practice CAT, then you're in a much better position to hit 630+ than we originally discussed. That having been said, you will likely still need at least 2 months of consistent, guided study to get up to that level. In addition, 45 hours/week would be a LOT of study time. With that 'volume', you would run the risk of 'burning out' before your Test Date, so you have to be careful about monitoring how you're feeling and how well you're performing during your practice.
1) What were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores on this 530?
2) At the time of your original post, you stated that you were planning to take the GMAT in about 10 weeks. That would be right around December 2nd (which would give you about 6 weeks of study time remaining). Is that still your planned Test Date?
3) Since you're planning to apply to at least 3 different Schools, we really need to know the application deadlines for ALL of them (so that we can plan your studies accordingly). You listed just one of the deadlines (the last one), but what are the others?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Thanks for your reply
1. I got 25 V and 38 Q on the first
MGMAT test. (I didn't have time to get to 10 last verbal questions though!)
2.Actually, now I'm thinking when is the earliest time than I can take it? since I'm currently enrolled and doing my master thesis and a lot of things going on It would be better for me to just take it ASAP. Also since I've been studying whole summer for GRE, as a non-native EN speaker who has no background in math it really took me a while to arrive where I'm right now. I'm already exhausted though!!
3. I have a list of 9 programs that I'm applying for, the earliest deadline is Dec 15 and the latest is Dec 31. But I'm thinking to take the test by the end on Nov at most to have time for the other part of my application.
I'll take another CAP this weekend to see where am I right now. I'm following
Magoosh 3 month study plan for beginners and I've finished the first 5 weeks. So you think can I reach a 650 or something around 630 by this timeline?
