Need to improve my score to 650 within a month

Hello guys, I've been reading this forum for a while now and I must say it has provided some very usefull information.

So here is my situation, I've alredy done the GMAT once but without much studying which resulted in a very low score:
Q:31
V:28
Tot: 500

I was very disappointed when I saw this score in the test center because mostly I scored on the GMAT prep about 550-580 (I didn't had quant below 37 at any time during any of the exams I made).

So I decided to take another shot with the GMAT, and to prepare as much as possible.
I am taking the exam the 21.4 and unfortunately I only have about 3 hours per day time to spend on studying for the GMAT, so I would like to use this time wisely. In other words I want to study effectively and here comes the part where I would need your help.

First of all my current study plan is: I study one day for the quant, one day for the verbal and during weekends I take 2 entire exams.

VERBAL: I have the SC book from Manhattan and every second day I'm spending one hour on studying from it, one hour doing 41 questions from the Official Guide (12th edition) and one hour to review the questions I got wrong.
I decided to use the SC book because most of the mistakes I do on the verbal are from SC and I thought that for RC and CR practicing would be the best.

For the QUANT i took the ''Equations Inequalities & VICs" book (also from Manhattan) and I'm doing the same thing as with the verbal. I'm planning on finishing this book and the "Geometry'' book because those are my weakest parts in the QUANT section.

I've done two tests in the last week and here are the scores:
VERITAS: Q39, V33, Tot: 600
GROCKIT: Q44, V28, Tot: 590
and today
MANHATTAN: Q:43, V:30, Tot: 600


Now what do you guys think about this? What should I change? What are my odds of scoring the 650 points? If any?
I've got about a month till i take the GMAT, and I really need to score at least 650, this is my only opportunity, and I would just like to add that I'm 20 years old and I'm taking the GMAT in order to get in the first (Bachelor) year. As far as I've seen mostly people do the GMAT for the MBA but in my case it's different :)

Thank you all in advance!!
