Any advice to improve? ( Crack Gmat diagnostic test)

Question

Hi all! im going to take Gmat next month, i think ; i downloaded Gmat prep and i have got :

First GMAT prep test --> 500 , without knowing the structure of the test Q33 V25

I studied a week , with cracking the Gmat and took an other test

Second GMAT prep test --> 600 Q41 V31

I studied a week with GMAT800 , and then i have taken my last test just few hours ago , i tried the Crack Gmat diagnostic test, and i got 520 ( it says that " cracking the gmat test are low scoring and designed to give you practice. your score in the actual Gmat would be about 100 points more) ;

So a i got 2 questions for u !

1) is this test really comparable with real Gmat score?
2) what should i do to improve my score? i d like to reach 700 , how much time do u think i' ll need to do that?

Thx to everybody

Thank u all guys ,
i tried MGMAT and i got Q45 V28 ; 
i read that quant MGMAT part it's a little tougher than real gmat , but i think my problem it's in the verbal part , 28 is really low.

Q45 on MGMAT is really good! This is a big positive. Have you identified your weaknesses in Verbal? How about going through MGMAT SC in such a detail that you write your own notes on for revision and grasping this content? Content is the most important thing when it comes to GMAT and you've got to do all it takes to make sure that you know the content very nicely. Only, then will you be able to ace the GMAT.

Well i think i find difficulties in every part of verbal, in the MGMAT i got wrong 8 SC , 7 RC , 6CR ; so i think i have to improve my undarstand skills and i have to study also some rules of grammar ; im not a native speaker so it's not easy for me.
i think ill get MGMAT SC guide, and also smthg for RC and CR

Hi lorenzo092,

The best estimates for the real GMAT are the GMATPrep tests. Use other tests as supplemental indicators - but don't get too focused on the score output. Focus on learning from your mistakes so you don't make the same ones next time. Focus on your test taking ability - having a sense of timing per question and a feel for how to eliminate answer choices - as well as what parts of a question to pay extra attention to.
 The number that supplemental tests provide is simply an output of an algorithm that is not exactly perfect (no one knows exactly what algorithm GMAC uses, but prep providers can guess as well as they can..)
