past score 640, Q46, V33

Any help would be appreciated. My target is to give exam by June end and aiming for Q49-50 and V36-38.

Might be worth getting the ESR of the 640 to see whether there are any areas to definitely focus on. You may also note that although you thought your RC went well and your SC went terribly, the data shows otherwise. Fair to say including Official questions/Official Mocks into any prep path is a solid choice as well. If you're interested in working with a study buddy, there's a gmatclub thread you can check out/sign up to.

Hi adparikh.

Just practicing with OG questions probably wouldn't get you to your score goal by the end of June. Your best bet is probably to proceed by mastering one topic at a time by first learning the concepts and strategies involved in a topic and then practicing by answering questions involving the topic, and the OG doesn't support preparing in that way.

Meanwhile, how you prepare matters as much as what resources you use to prepare. So, to learn how to prepare for GMAT Verbal effectively, you could read the following post.
