Hello. Indeed it is quite disheartening to know that you scored low in Verbal. Rather than giving you 30,000 feet level tips, I have few questions for:

i) Since you scored low in Verbal, do you know which are your relative strengths and weaknesses in Verbal. Since there are three types of questions in Verbal, do you know whether it is Reading Comprehension, Critical Reasoning, or Sentence Correction that is bothering you the most.

ii) Was there a trend in your mock tests that can help you figure out your specific areas of weaknesses?

iii) Have you tried to avail of the enhanced score report that is now available at the end of GMAT, so that you can analyse it and figure out where you scored the lowest

iv) Were your verbal scores in a similar range in mocks, or was the final score an exception?

Suggestions on improvements would really depend on your answers to these question. For example, if Sentence Correction is specifically bothering you, then I would think that the basics of Grammar are not in place.

Fundamentals of Grammar are the basic building blocks of English language, the way prime numbers are the building blocks of integers in Mathematics. You might want to go through the entire English Grammar that we have made available as a free preview, in our book SC Nirvana; the link is available in the signature.
