I recently took the GMAT and scored a 36 in Verbal. To prepare, I used the Manhattan GMAT books and Magoosh, but I found that I was answering questions based off of what I already knew (I'm a native English speaker).
So, my question is... how do I score at least a 40 or somewhere in the mid 40s?
I will go through MGMAT books to do more practice, but I am mostly looking to develop more strategies.
GMATPREP - V31
Actual GMAT test (1 week later) - V36
for that week between tests, I mostly focused on CR and RC note taking strategies.

Hi Blazethrough14,
Some of your prior posts go back to 2015, so you've been studying off-and-on for quite some time. You've asked about a specific "sub-goal", but it would help to define your larger timeline and goals:
1) How did you score on the Official GMAT (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
2) What is your goal score?
3) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

The most bang for your buck is the SC section. Answer and review SC questions in a methodical fashion and you will tack points to your verbal score. Specifically, practice answering SC questions one at a time by selecting the correct answer and then explaining why the other four answer choices are incorrect. But you can't get lazy and say an answer choice is incorrect because it's awkward or wordy. You have to push yourself to spot the grammatical error if it exists. By doing this over and over you become super fast at SC and you spend less time and mental energy on them during the exam, freeing up mental capacity for RC and CR. A lot of times one can greatly improve their RC score just by reading the passage nice and slowly and fully comprehending the message.
