I've taken four practice tests so far and these were my scores: 700, 660, 680, 710.
I've been getting ~48 on the Quantitative section and ~40 on the Verbal section.
I do well on the Sentence Corrections section but don't do as well on the other two (Reading Comp & Critical Reasoning).
Anyone have tips? The Critical Reasoning questions have been screwing me over the most.
I'd be happy with a 710 but obviously I want to do the best I can on this test. I'm taking it August 7.

Can you name a specific CR question type that you're having trouble with?
For general strategy, I use a modification of the T diagram from Manhattan GMAT where all I pretty much do is write conclusion at the top and then premises at the bottom timed at first. Then, I slowly wean myself off of the diagram when I'm more comfortable with the material.
C
_
P1
P2
etc
Of course, this strategy works well for me, but may not for you.
There are other strategies you can try here:

I don't do too well on inference questions: strengthen/weaken/parallel reasoning.
A CR question which asks "What is the conclusion?" or "What is the main point?" is much easier to me.
I'll try writing down the premises too and see if that helps.
