In my opinion, improvement in Verbal takes a little more time than improvement in Quant because once you understand a concept well in Quant, you need a little bit of practice to see how to apply it in most average questions. On the other hand, even after you understand what you have to do in Verbal, it takes a lot more effort to actually do it. Hence going through a book may not give you the desired results. You need to do and then, more importantly, thoroughly analyze lots of practice questions. You need to understand what the author was trying to say that you missed (or understood) in each question. You need to pay heed to every written word because it is there for a reason. There have to be takeaways so that you don't make the same mistakes again. You have to try out the various strategies suggested in your books and then adopt one according to your comfort and then practice it. You might need to tweak it on a regular basis. Also, a slight difference in the wording changes the question altogether (the way it happens in P&C questions). You need to understand these subtle differences. Let me give you an example:
Say you read up on various question types in CR. Great! So now you know that there are strengthen questions and inference questions (and many others). So you look at a question stem and say that it is a strengthen question because it is looking for support for the conclusion. But it could very well be an inference question if you change the placing of two words. So half a page in our book discusses just how to identify this difference. There are many such little things that you need to think about. With practice, you will develop an eye for them.
