Thanks Rich and BB.

I did some research in Brazilian websites specialized on GMAT prep and read that if I already have a satisfactory level of proficiency in English I should not have trouble if I study one/two months for TOEFL.
Do you think that I should have a diagnostic of my level before start studying for GMAT?
As I said, I don't need to use English daily, what make me a rusty in some points, but I had some years of English classes and spent a month in Atlanta two years ago in order to improve my skills.

I agree with you and I will focus on one test at a time, but I want to make sure to focus on which I will have more trouble in future because, as I said, I need to send my grades on first calling.

Thank you very much guys.

Hi mate,

as a person, who took both tests, I suggest that you start with GMAT. What you learn for GMAT will definitely be useful for TOEFL. To be honest, I haven't really prepared for TOEFL...After RC from GMAT, reading section on TOEFL will seem a piece of cake. The same applies for the writing section. On gmatclub's sub-forum dedicated to TOEFL, you can find different templates that will help with speaking and writing sections. I don't think I put more than 10-12 hours in TOEFL preparations. I scored 110, with a lot of spare time on each section...
Starting with a diagnostic test would be good. Many suggest taking the official GMAT Prep test. It is indeed the most real-like one, if taken in test-like conditions. Moreover, you can start practicing by answering daily questions on GMATClub - at least it worked for me.

Thank you mvictor. I'm really glad reading your post.

I'm the short time I'll start a diagnostic in order to know my true level and after that im going to finish my study schedule.
I already have the Princeton review and want to finish it to have a overall revier of the test and after that I want to start an online course, probably Magoosh.
In parallel I'll create a routine to read more English papers. I hope that it increase my writing to
