Hi!
I have just finished the first GMATPrep Test 1.
This is the result:

Quantitative:49
Verbal:25
Total:610

I am not a native english speaker and I have problems with the concentration and the vocabulary. I guess the last questions not because of the time, but because i was tired to read in english.

I am not taking the GMAT for apply in a MBA, but for apply in a MsC (like the HEC MIM program). How much do you think I need?

I have read the Manhattan Sentence Correction and the CR Bible, and i am planing to do the GMAT next September.

Any Suggestions?

Verbal is obviously your weak point, and you can tell that from your score and from a few grammar mistakes you made in your post. But fear not! There's always room for improvement. My advice is to not only read, but also carefully analyze each section of the two books that you've mentioned. They're both highly recommended on this forum, so you can safely say that you're on the right track. You could also improve your grammar by buying a text book and your reading by using various high quality materials such as The Economist, Wall Street Journal and so on.

If you feel you can't finish in time, then you need to take some more practice tests to work on your stamina. The GMAT is sort of like the marathon: you do need to train intensively for it, or else you'll run out of energy pretty soon.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
