I have just ended up with a very disappointing GMAT score 550 (Q49,V17). Though I am not very good in verbal but believe me ,I can not even think of V17. I used to get 28-34 in all my mock exams. Planning to write the exam by December,2016 so that I do not miss the next season to apply. Please suggest me how can I improve my verbal section within this time.
Eagerly waiting for some good suggestion.

To improve RC - you really need visual guidance. Don't read articles about how to improve reading. You improve by actually doing or watching someone else do.
What you need to do, depends on why your Verbal score was so low on the test. Did you run out of time? Were you very weak on a specific problem type, or did you struggle with all three of them? Did you do anything differently on test day, versus how you did Verbal on your practice tests? Are you a non-native English speaker - if so, how much time do you spend reading/writing in English typically?
Taking a good practice test and carefully analyzing the results would help you answer these questions - so would getting the ESR from your official test, although that wouldn't give you quite as much information. You can post it here and someone will take a look at it for you!
