I am also a non-native english speaker and struggled with verbal. After I studied RC and CR, I did my first MGMAT CAT and had a disappointing 30. After one month, I can now score a 40. Here is what I did:

Sentence Correction: I used MGMAT book and then started doing exercises (PM me if you want some). I improved from a 50% efficiency to 90% efficiency in 10-15 days. In this period, I did something close to 200 questions, always timing myself. For a 40+ score, you need to try to solve each SC question in 1 minute.

Critical Reasoning: I used powerscore and made some notes. You can use wiphlash guide (in CR forum), it is very good and can help you a lot. Another tip is to focus on doing questions, but I think doing a lot of questions doesn't help as much in CR as it does in other subjects.

Reading Comprehension: This is cumulative. RC99 is a very good option as it is cheap and the way to improve in RC is to read, read, read and answer questions.

Always keep error logs! This helps a lot. Good luck!!

If you liked this, kudos me! :D
