Thank you all for your answers. I wanna know what books would helped increase my score. I have kaplan 2007. I am not a native english speaker what book would help me out with verbal and grammar structure. I notice that this book those not explain math problems step by step. Can someone tell me a good math book for the gmat. I have a computer information degree but that was three years ago and I am out of practice with math. Here is my reasons for getting an MBA.
1. I wanna apeal to employer more with business knowledge.
2. I wanna be financially secure or get better jobs oppurtunity.
3. Maybe I could take bank loans and start a small business.

Here is my dilemma: I been unemployed for 2 years now and employers don't hire me because of lack of experience. Another Problem is that I have a thick english accent and sometimes employers don't look at my education or experience just the way I sound.

One thing that got me thinking is that even if I do manage to get an MBA I think that I still would get pass over and all sacrifice and effort would be to waste.

Taking some english classes could be a huge asset to you. Getting into a reputable MBA program with 2 years of unemployment is tough unless you have done some serious volunteering in that time frame or done some unique experiences. There are a lot of IT jobs out there that don't require an MBA and if you are qualified but thinking your English is holding you back then I am betting taking english classes would be a much better option than an MBA.
