Not sure what your Verbal situation is but here's a post of a someone I tutored who improved their verbal significantly in about 30 days. They took 6 hours of tutoring but that was mainly for verbal solving approach. There is also some other stuff they used along the way:

Hey thanks for your reply, I scored 27 (46 percentile) in Verbal and 36 (26 percentile) on Manhattan's Mock.

When you've got a month, you need to accelerate and optimize your prep. That means squeezing every point out of whatever level of concept knowledge you have. The key to that is Test Taking Skills. The GMAT is designed to reward great process as much as great knowledge. Remember it's a reasoning test, not a typical math or English test.

Dhwanii my advice would be practice, practice and practice but I guess You might want to reconsider your prep strategy, maybe try looking out for some resources that suit you and your schedule !!! Honestly, one month is a really short amount of time but we have seen amazing stories on this forum. Consider OG as your bible, there are layers to this exam and even I am facing similar challenges however I am not in a time squeeze as of now and giving my prep ample amount of time

GOOD LUCK !!!

GOOD LUCK !!!

foxtrot  thanks, I am thinking to enroll with Egmat or Target test prep, don't know which one to opt for

I think TTP would be perfect for you! Why don't you give the trial a shot and reach out to us on live chat with any questions.

Foxtrot109649 · Answer

Dhwanii I would personally recommend TTP , its an extensive programme and covers in-depth analysis and it has a lot to offer, you must try their trials trust me you won't be disappointed, for someone who is a non-native and with almost no technical background I am able to grasps the concepts and build my foundation. Like i mentioned earlier everyone has a different GMAT journey and everyone has a unique set of learning and understanding of the concepts, you won't be disappointed. But like I said in my earlier post "PRACTICE PRACTICE AND PRACTICE" this will be hard but think of the bigger picture and just commit your time towards your dream score.

Hi Dhwanii,

A significant improvement of 100+ points is quite challenging. However, it is only achievable if you put your efforts in the right direction by working on the core issues (not just core concepts). Most likely at this stage you're struggling both concepts and application of concepts under 2 mins (conclusion drawn basis your score).

Moreover, OG may be a great source for solving GMAT like questions, however, it is definitely not the ideal way to prepare in your case. Moreover, you may find that the OG is a good option as a question bank but lacks detailed explanations for you to use for improvement. It’s always better to prepare with a definitive resource to help you learn concepts while formulating a consistent strategy to solve questions before practicing them from the OG. This way, your preparation will be a lot more structured, and the chances of you leaving gaps in your learning will be significantly less. Focus on improving the method you follow to solve questions because that's what stops people from scoring 700+. As such, following a resource which focuses on the right methodologies becomes even more crucial.

I have helped many students achieve a similar feat in the past. One such example can be found here. Akshat improved from 650 to 730 in just 24 days GMAT 650 to 730 in 24 days - Learn how Akshat achieved this remarkable feat:
