hi,
I have been prepared myself for less than a month and the actual test date is in 15 days.
I have just taken my GmatPrep first test and got Q49, V25 and 620.
I am non-native english.
I have gone through:
OG 11, MGMAT Sentence Correction, Math part of Kaplan 800, and free MGAMT test almost 3 weeks before with 600, and many materials from internet.
Also most of the wrong answers from quant were mistake :( but not from verbal, I could not understand some of them.

Thanks.

Your Q score is quite high while your verbal score is lower than average, but that's probably due to the native language problem. I would try to focus on SC and to see the fastest gains in Verbal. With two weeks left, it will be difficult to improve your comprehension drastically (you mentioned you could not understand the verbal at all), but SC can be learned much more easily since it depends more on learning specific rules, idioms, words, etc.

thanks,
I did the Kaplan online yesterday.
the score was: Q 46 (only 3 wrong answers, but how come 46?!!!) and V 29.
I think I should focus on SC more, sine more than half of the answers were wrong.
