I took the GMAT 3 weeks back and scored a 700 (Q49, V36). I plan to retake the GMAT in a months time and am starting my preparations. I got my Enhanced score report and just couldn't believe what I saw.
In verbal I scored in the 84th percentile in the Critical Reasoning section (I considered this to be my weakest), in the 47th percentile in RC ( I was consistently getting more than 80-90% correct in this) and in 91st percentile in SC.
In short, RC was a complete disaster. I started preparing for RC 10 days before the GMAT as I did not think it would be that difficult. I was also scoring consistently well during my practice sessions. My strategy focussed upon reading the comprehensions first, understanding them and then answering the questions. I did around 50 passages in RC from a pdf present on gmatclub and then around 25 from the OG.
How do I improve this? What are some recommended materials and what are some strategies for a non-native english speaker that you would recommend. I plan to apply in R2 this year and hence can't take more than a month for my preparations.
Any advice would be like gold dust for me. Thank you folks!

RC normally needs a lot of time. It could be that you did not do well on that particular day on those particular passages, but you've got to put a lot of practice in if you want to be consistent on RC. Your strategy (reading and understanding a passage, and then attempting the associated questions) is perfectly fine.
You might want to practice taking notes, but there is no other "strategy" you need for RCs.
