Might be helpful to find a study buddy who is great at verbal to guide you. Some Pattern Recognition learning may be helpful, too. Basically, this means recognizing how the GMAT may be trying to trip you. It's a standardized test, so even if what is written in the answer choices of various questions may be different, the CONCEPTS that they are testing/tripping you on are sometimes the same.
For example, I've shown students a "LIAR" answer choice in CR partly so they can recognize that type of ERROR on future questions.

Hi 100mitra,
While 'narrowing the answers down to 2 choices' is a reasonable way to approach the tougher questions that you will see on Test Day, if you take that type of approach too often, then there will be a limit to how high you will be able to score (since probability dictates that you will get HALF of those questions wrong - and on a 'bad day', it will be more than half). In a prior post, you noted that your Score Goal was 690+; to earn that type of Score, you have to be far more accurate at predicting what the correct answer will likely state (in CR and RC) before you look at the answers and in your knowledge of Grammar/Idiom rules (for SC). Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) What study materials have you used so far? Have you taken any other CATs/mocks besides this recent one?
2) Are you planning to take the At-home GMAT or are you planning to take your GMAT at a Test Facility?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
