Is it realistic for me to improve my score to at least 550 in this time?

Any concrete tips are helpful.

I got 19 of 37 quant questions correct and only 10 of the 35 verbal questions, I didn't had enough time to finish the other six verbal questions.

So far I have finished all 5 math MH guides and I have started to practice the OG 14 questions from al the contens.

I have six weeks left to prepare and can study fulltime. I need to score at least 550. Is this still possible and what can I don in order to achieve this?

This is what I have found myself. Your score in verbal is low and so too in quant but comparatively your quant is stronger. You can achieve 550 in the next 6 weeks easily. If you follow a study plan. Pick up 2 topics a day in verbal and 2 topic a day in quant and do 10 questions each on those two topics and analyse them whether you get the answers right or wrong. If you follow you will definitely be able to achieve 550.

Another thing I want to add from my experience. It is very easy to go from 350 to 550 in 6 weeks but then it becomes harder and harder as you approach 650+. But for now You should concentrate on your weakness and rather than doing random questions just do the questions and topic from your weak areas. For example your weak area is Parallelism in SC then read the theory and rule for Parallelism and practise 10 question on that and analyse.

Was this a practice CAT that recorded the amount of time that you spent on each question?

If so, then I have some follow-up questions:
1) How many questions did you "guess on" at the end of each section because you were out of time?
2) How many Quant questions took you more than 3 minutes to answer?

Also, on the Verbal Section, did you answer the final 6 questions at all (by guessing) or did you run out of time and NOT answer them?

6 weeks is not a lot of time to study (I recommend to most Test Takers who are starting from scratch that they plan on a 3-month study program), but you might be able to improve enough to hit a 550+. Why do you have to be done in 6 weeks?

The last 5 questions on verbal I justed guessed and then the other 6 I didn't get to do them at all.
On the quant I had 4 questions that took me longer than 3 minutes to answer.

I have been studying on and off now for about 2 months. And now my deadline is coming closer thats why I took of from everything so I can prepare fulltime
And I have to pass a score of 550 in order to continue my education. So I have to pass it before the end of this year, thats the deadline.
