Please help to advise

Hello,

I am writing here to get some advice from all of you
I took the first gmat test in mid oct and my score was lower by 100pts than scores that i got from practive CATs.

44 Math, 21 Verbal - miserably failed the test.
Here are my 5 CAT exam results from MGMAT:
M, V, total
1.45, 30, 610 (before the class)
2. 47, 36, 680
3. 44, 34, 640
4. 46, 33, 650
5. 47, 32, 650

I took 10 week online MGMAT course and did all problems that are in MGMAT books, OG12, Verbal (blue), Math (green), and Advanced Math from MGMAT. I solved all in OG12 twice, and most in Verbal and Math. I tried to analyze mistakes and issues why i got wrong and how i could have answered better as suggested.. However, after studying 5-6 days on average about 3 hours weekdays, and 5-6 hours during weekends, i still miserably failed. In verbal, I knew i was weak in RC, so i focused more in SC and CR. In Math, I was weak in Word translation, so put some more time in WT. I thought i was decent in Math but the result doesn't reflect it.

After careful consideration, i decided to retake the test in about 3-4 months. But i am a bit lost in how to approach it again. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you
