Hi Queen789,
Welcome to GMATCLUB! To improve your scores in verbal, you can consider e-gmat verbal online course. It is an amazing course specially designed for non-natives. They offer almost 25% of their courses for free so you can try out their free trial to decide which one you want to go for. Plus the e-gmat Scholaranium which is included in the course is one of the best verbal practice tools in the market. You can easily track your progress in that you can identify your strengths and analyze and improve on your weak areas.
Further taking multiple mocks might help. Apart from the GMATPREP, Manhattan GMAT tests and Veritas Prep Tests in my experience have good verbal and Quant section and will certainly help you point out and improve your weak areas.
I would also encourage you to purchase the GMATPREP QP 1 for some great additional practice. Further, you should also consider LSAT Questions for some great RC practice.
In 20 days, your best bet is creating balance between: 1) practice problems in each subject area in verbal 2) equally important, focusing on improving your in-test process
For each level of content knowledge there is a significant range of actual performance. The main reason is fluctuations in how well test-takers approach the test. In verbal things like eliminating answers by vertical skimming (SC) and narrowly restating the argument (CR) are all things that get you over that last hurdle to hitting your target.
You have just 20 days. Therefore, you should be strategic and focus on controlling your major mistakes.
* Identify your major mistakes.
* Identify the major types of questions.
For example, for SC, some of the major question types are subject-verb agreement, modifiers, parallel structures. For CR, these could be: assumptions, weakening/strengthening, bolded questions. For RC, these could be: main point, details, conclusion.
* Take some questions and work on each one. Understand each of the answer choices and why each one is either correct or incorrect.
* Focus on quality, rather than on quantity of questions.
* If possible, work without a timer.
* Leave a couple of days at the end to relax and go over your preparation.
