Hi guys!
I'm not a native speaker and I'm going to take GMAT in a week but I already know that I will definitely get a very low score..it's not that I'm worried and scared of the GMAT (which surely I am), it's more about analyzing how I did prepare for GMAT..I had my work and SAP trainings going on, friends' parties and everything. I did very bad on my prep and besides I also prepared for taking my TOEFL exam which is comming in 4 days..
Well the point is that I'm thinking of going to the US and taking some GMAT prep classes.. Do you think it's worthing? I mean this is very hard for me to do studying and working at the same time.. and as I'm not a native speaker being in the US will help me a lot.
Or do you think that it's possible to prepare on my own, w/t spending money on the classes?
I'm really messed up..
but hopefully I'll get good TOEFL scores at least

I would suggest you to forget about GMAT for 4 days , prepae for TOEFEL well and get the work done for it.
once TOEFEL is done , write GMATPREP and check your scores , if you meet the expected scores , go ahead and write the test . If you score way less than the expected scores , you may postpone the test. Plan your studies and take the test when you think you are fully prepared.

Hello Irina
Maybe I am biased but I think there is a good area of overlap between GMAT and TOEFL (it was in my mind). If you get a good score on TOEFL, you have a good chance with GMAT and vice versa. Do focus on the TOEFL for the next few days as it won't help your GMAT score much to stress about that. Since you are within the 2 week period, it makes no sense to cancel your gmat appointment as you will not recover your money. So, go ahead and give it the best fight you can.
You can get a copy of GMAT Prep for free (gmatprep-gmat-prep-powerprep-power-prep-free-tests-77548.html), take it and it will give you a very good idea about how you will score. This will also help you get ready for the test and may improve your score significantly if you spend some time to review the questions you get wrong and find out really why you made those errors and ensure you don't.
About prep classes - see this post: gmat-prep-courses-classes-reviews-ratings-and-comparison-78451.html
You can read the reviews and feedback and see if the experience people shared appeals to you. I am not sure where you live, but there are GMAT prep classes all over the world - check your area; may not need to travel too far.
Many agree that the main purpose of GMAT prep classes is to discipline you allow a professional to answer any questions you may have. You will save time compared to preparing on your own, but the score you get is not guaranteed really and fully depends on the effort you invest. So, getting enrolled in the class will yield the result that will be directly proportional to the effort. Some people absolutely go for it and combine a bit of self prep with classes. For others, the time they save is more valuable than the money they spend - it is different for everyone.

)) I know this is not a very good score, but taking into consideration that I felt bad at the test (due to my flight to Seoul to take it) and couldn't make myself be focused, I was very glad that I scored more than it's required by the university.. But still feel like not really satisfied with my TOEFL scores.. cause if I had prepared for it at least for a month, I could've got more..
