Hi everyone,
I took GMAT for the first time in Oct 2006 and I got 350(Q31, V9). Then I got OG11 and Princeton Review 2006 edition and studied them. I did all of the questions in OG11 and did review my errors several times. Then, I took the PrepGMAT tests 5 times and my scores were between 350 to 490 and my quantitative scores were between 29 to 42. Then, I took the GMAT for the second time yesterday Nov 27, 2006 and I got 370(Q29, V31).
Even though I feel very bad and stupid, I do not want to give up. Now, I am planning to take for the third times sometimes in end of the April 2007.
Now, I would like you to give your frank suggestion about what exactly do I need to do if I want to get score around 600. Just to let you know that English is my second language and obviously it is my biggest weakness; especially, the critical reasoning section.
Please tell me, what should I do? Thank you very much

Don't despair!
It can be done, but to gain 200 points will take an enormous amount of effort and practice. maybe 200-300 hours of quality study/practice time.
GMAT is not really IQ, it is practice and familiarity, and like any sport or game can be learned and mastered... but it requires a lot of work if you aren't predisposed to it to begin with. I would say, maximize your strength, mitigate your weaknesses. Put a lot of effort into getting your Q up as high as you can maybe 48?... then figure out what your V should be to get the score you want (600? 640? 680? etc).
Use GMATPrep (as well as GMatclub Challenges and powerprep) to gauge your progress. When you feel confident... go for it!
Oh, and read all the inspirational posts you can.. that will help motivate you. And lastly, get a very broad perspective on what other people have done... you will learn what works for you..
