My suggestion is to talk to your prep course instructor. Your instructor will have more first-hand experience with you and can therefore give you the best advice!

My two cents is that you should cool it a little - you have a month until the test. Take a few days off from studying, and then study a reasonable amount after that. Most people find that anything more than 2-3 hours of GMAT study per day isn't worthwhile, since the benefits of study are greatly diminished the more tired you get. I usually recommend 1 hour of intense study twice per day, plus one practice exam per week.

Good luck!
