There are a lot of variables in play in raising your score from 33 to 40. First of all, what have you done so far in your preparation?

By now, you should have an idea what section of verbal is holding you back. There may be a few - SC, CR and RC. For RC, I'd recommend trying out some sample videos to see if your approach is similar or different from that of mine. Here are some free sample videos.

What information, if any, do your mock exams give you about your areas of strength/weakness in Verbal? What areas are you least comfortable with? You need to focus on your areas of weakness to improve your verbal score...
