Hi guys!
I’m thinking seriously to take the GMAT, I’m very motivate to start it. I’m a good student with good grades but I know they are not enough for a good Msc.
What suggestions would you give me for preparing for a 650+/700?? I don’t think I’m a genius , is it enough to work VERY hard? Which materials and timing (also hours per day) would you suggest me? (Would you suggest a tutor/course even though they are very expensive?)
By the way I’m in my second year of undergraduate (next October I’ll start applying) so it will be tough to manage both the study and GMAT but I’ll try my best!

Hey there mamu10!
As has already been pointed out, there's magic number of hours per day or number of questions that's going to get you where you want to be. That said, here are a few things to keep in mind:
1. Take an hour to get familiar with what's on the test (what the timing looks like, what the questions look like, what's tested). Then take a practice test to see where your starting score lies.
2. Set your goal and make your study plan. A few things to keep in mind here: while you should have a score goal, what's just as important is having "process goals" - goals about how often you're going to study and how you're going to study. Remember that the GMAT is best studied for a bit at a time. 30 minutes per day four days a week is going to be a lot more sustainable (and therefore more effective) than 4 hours a day for a week and then not wanting to study because you're burned out on studying.
3. Figure out what materials are going to work best for you. There are a lot of different formats for study materials. While you're definitely going to need the Official Guide, what other materials you'll need depend on your learning style, available time, and a host of other things. As the director of academics for ORION, I'm partial to our problems and our way of teaching things, but know that you can test drive a few available resources before you decide what's going to work best for you.
4. Get studying! Remember as you do that quality is almost always going to be more important than quantity. (That's not to say you don't need to put in the hours, but rather to say that hours aren't necessarily going to translate to the result you want if you aren't careful about it.) Here are a couple good guides for what "good quality study time" should look like: Link 1 and Link 2.
