You decide what you do.
You can improve in several areas a little or focus all of your attention on one area. Keep in mind - verbal takes a while to get there and you must follow each strategy in the book exactly as it is written - exactly to every detail, step, etc. You have the right books - MGMAT. Go through a few sections again and take notes this time - see if that makes a difference. Also, look at what mistakes you make the most and either print them out or save somehow to go over at a later time - never leave a question you missed. You may encounter a similar one on the GMAT. Most people use some sort of an error log.

I would also try to spend as much time in the evenings reading as I could - that was my strategy to get my verbal up: gmat fiction.


P.S.
Here is something about timing:

Hi everybody.Since i have been working (for 20 years in fact) I did not have the luxury of a long prep time for GMAT. I took one month's leave. I studied entirely from the OG and Quantitative Review and studied exclusively from these two. Initial brushing up of basic skills was from GMAT for Dummies especially since I had studied math a long time back. I also purchased the previous years papers from the GMAT site.These papers are worth it. In the twenty two days that I could study, I used to revise OG in the forenoon and give tests in the afternoon session. The questions that I got wrong in the OG I used to mark for further revision. That strategy is useful if you are hard pressed for time, like I was. I got a decent score, 710 and 6 for AWA.Am applying for INSEAD, ISB, SAID,Queens, Ivey and Judge

Cheers
