Attached should be "Nova MATH Review.pdf", a file that was posted on this site a few weeks ago. It covers all high school math, which is what is tested.

As for the verbal part, I recommend getting your hands on an official GMAT guide. They contain over 800 past GMAT questions. Another great source is this website, but they are typically more difficult because people post questions that they do not understand.

If you can afford it, the tutors that reply on this website are very helpful. From what I can gather, they've had to have a very high score, be able to explain concepts very clearly using plain English, and have lots of patience.

I personally haven't consulted a tutor only because of the lack of time I have (my test is tomorrow :) ).
