Can someone please help me?

Hello everyone

I am preparing for the GMAT for the past 10 days and its been about 5 years since i touched maths but I seems to be doing good in maths practise tests. The main thing I am lacking in is verbal. I am planning to do the MBA from melbourne which government funds as I don't have thousands of dollars to invest. I am looking for help or advice from some one who has got 700 or more in GMAT. I need 680+ to get the admission in the college.
I have got 35 days from today to sit for my GMAT. I don't have thousands to spend on the courses but I managed to 2 books of Kaplan and same time I am reading from some other maths books. I am giving all the online free test and reading as much as I can from internet and books. I am spending about 7-8 hours studying as it is either now or never.
I had a health issue few years back and I was away from work for 2 years and now getting back into work force is even harder. So I decided to do MBA which could give me a good career launch pad. Currently I am unemployed and can spend 24 hours studying. I have worked physically for 24 hours non stop so i believe i can study as well.

This is my last chance to do something in life.
I will truly appreciate from bottom of my heart anyone's help or advice regarding my preparation. I just need some tips and if any one wants to share link where I can get free reading materials.

Thanking All
Kind Regards
Raj

hi Raj,
It is great that you are so motivated.
It is important that you use as much real material as possible later in the last 2-3 weeks of your practice. These could be either the Official Guide or GMAT Prep package. Try to read more about theory in the next 10 days and then focus more on tests and questions. A good resource are articles posted here on Beat the GMAT almost every day. Have a look at the library. I am sure you will find there a lot of useful information.
