The best way is to asess where you stand first. Try a diagnostic test. Then based on the results find out your weak areas and start working on improving them. For SC, Manhattan SC really helps and for CR Powerscore CR bible is good. Would advise you to refer to the recommended books sections in this site so that you can tailor it to suit to your need and also your target score. All the best!

Get the Powerscore CR Bible. I thought it was the best GMAT book that I used.

You should also just start reading as much as possible. I would recommend reading a few articles from The Economist and The Wall Street Journal each day. A lot of the articles resemble the same writing style as what you might see in certain parts of the GMAT.

I think there's a limit to how many articles you can read for free each month. I just follow WSJ and TheEconomist on Twitter and follow the links to articles that they post there. It's always been free for me to do it that way.
