I just Beat The GMAT!

Hello everyone,

I just joint the forum, and this looks like a great place. So if the title doesn't say it all, here it is in greater depth.
I am a workaholic - I work professionally 6 days a week in cutting edge science. No scope of a sabbatical or even a couple of days off from work. There is a lot that depends on me at work, and I wouldn't be comfortable leaving it all behind for my prep.

I need to take the GMAT in 55days (not booked though). At best I can pull out 3 hours a day for 6 days a week, and about 6 hours on a Sunday. Members of this forum who have gone through the grind, kindly suggest a course of action. In particular:

a. With very less time at hand - what material? Can't dedicate time to warming up material, have to go for the tough ones straight.
b. How much - can I cover considering the few hours? (I wouldn't ask how much is enough - it is enough only when I get the desired score.)
c. Practice tests - I am very concerned about this, since I don't want to take tests which give me superficial scores. With all the experience of the members of this forum have, please suggest the ones that come closest to the real test score-wise. I have 8 Sundays - so can at best squeeze in 16 tests at max.

Please guide me through this, I'd highly appreciate any advice coming in.
Thanks.

6-MGMAT cat's
2 gmat prep's(one at the start, one at the end)repeat these closer to the test day.

NO cat in the last 4 days,

Thanks, I intend to do two tests a week, one on a weekday and one on Sunday.

oops, I think I've posted this in the wrong section. Shifted it here:
