Alright let me tell you how my GMAT prep started and went on. I took my GMAT dignostic while lunch hour at work so not exactly where I stand. gave me 420 only. I wasn't worried. I took MGMAT prep class did 50% of the homework and attended the class 80% of them.
Took second practice test got 520. Took third practice test got 500.

Finally I am redoing all the homework of Manhattan GMAT and restudying the material. I got 2-3 weeks of homework done total of 9 weeks. I took the GMAT prep exam to see where I am at and how hard to study.
The score was 500 Q38 V21. English is my second language but I have been studying in english since 1st grade so I comprehend it well but I guess grammar and reading comp is killing me.

I am studying 2 hours each day mon-thur doing Manhattan gmat homework, and seeing recorded classes online.

3-4 hours on sat and no studies on sun or fri nights.

I am starting to get tutored by Dabral tutor in Berkeley this weekend for QUANT only.(Any comments or references would be great too)

Willling to put all hardwork to get to 700+. I am a finance major with 3.7 GPA from CSUS. I have taken Calculus upto Calculus IV in college.

I am not too smart but not idiot either. I know I have to do hardwork. Just need the right guidance what to study and not want to waste time studying and doing wrong material.
I have graduated 2 years ago so I haven't been out of school for too long.
Detailed guidance would be appreciated. Especially for Verbal Part.
