First attempt 590, retaking it (international applicant)

Hi everyone,
I'm 27 years old and I'm from Chile. This last may I took the GMAT for the first time and got 590, in the GMAT PREP TEST I got 530 in the first attempt (without any preparation) and 640 in the 2nd test (with some study, but not the best one). When I left the testing center I wasn't sure if I wanted to retake the test, I was kind of frustrated and wasn't really excited with the idea of studying again for a couple of months. So I didn't study at all for 5 months, but today I woke up and decided to retake the GMAT PREP 1 and got a 610 (Q48 V26), I did not remember any of the questions at all so it was like a new test for me.
Now I'm decided to develop a study plan and start to study again, now I'm going to use this forum and try to participate more (the first time I took the GMAT I didn't do it).
It's clear that I have to focus on the Verbal section. I also know that there are tons of people like me that write this kind of post in the forum, but I just need to pump myself up.
What would be a good score to set as a goal?, do you think that it would be possible to get a 700 (with a 2 month preparation)?
If you have any advice or words that could help me in this 2nd preparation I would appreciate it.
Saludos
