QUANT:
Study material

Workbook
Use gmatclub's OG guide: https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-club-gu ... 29823.html
it's an organised excel sheet that offers you topic wise/difficulty wise questions of all of quant. Finish any one OG and a OG quant review. start with medium level questions, if you aren't solving them correctly, then review relevant lessons in gmatclub math theory book(or look for lessons on the internet-plenty of useful material available!), solve more questions of those type and then move on to next topic.
solve gmatclub tests questions, buy their CATS-6 month subscription cost 100 usd(if you have 100 pts on gmatclub account, you can buy premium membership for free, that way you get 30% off gmatclub tests- i.e 3-month package for $55 and 6-month package for $69) it will give your score the necessary boost. make sure you review each question, if you have doubts, post it on the forum.

Verbal
resources: stick to Official guide and official guide verbal review for questions.
SC
you need to be well versed with parallelism/idioms
parallelism:
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2013/paralleli ... orrection/
idioms: use gmatclub guide to solving OG- check the topics section for idiom questions- solve all idiom related questions in any 1 og and 1 verbal review(that should suffice)
check egmat's meaning based approach very useful to improve accuracy, link: https://e-gmat.com/blog/video-lessons/g ... ion-lesson
CR
types of cr questions: https://www.kaptest.com/blog/business-sc ... questions/
check this post everything significant that you need to know while attempting a cr question: https://gmatclub.com/forum/e-gmat-s-all ... 68945.html, but before that use the below mentioned technique.
you can use the following technique while solving questions: Picture one person who you really enjoy disagreeing with, or simply someone you listen to with a lot of disapproval, the kind you want to prove wrong. Whenever you attempt a question, think that the CR prompt is being spoken by this person. When you do this, apart from grabbing your full attention, you will also be able to instantly find faults in the said person's argument. After that, read the question and pre-think the answer without checking the options, you will be able to eliminate answers more easily and this should also help in spotting the correct answer.
RC
check this magoosh article to understand different rc question types: https://magoosh.com/gmat/2016/strategie ... ion-types/
try to understand the big picture of each passage. summarize every paragraph in a sentence or two, reword it in your head in a language you're most comfortable with(in case you're a non native). then summarize each of these 1-2 line paragraph summaries, into 1-2 sentence passage summary- this is the big idea/primary message of the passage.
observe shifts in tone of the author, and note them down or anything that the author stresses in the passage.
