Completely agree with AndrewN here. Key is reviewing each question. Quality matters over quantity.

Want to add one important point:-
I think to get there you are not setting a realistic timeline. One week is not enough.

Finding meaningful improvement in one week is pretty tough. The good news is your already pretty close to your target. It's not totally unfeasible that a 'good day' could get you the points you need.

For broader verbal review, if you're willing to put in more time, you have to be very specific on why you missed a problem. In general people don't ask the question, 'how I am reading/interpreting language' enough in verbal.

For CR and RC, there aren't really 'rules' or formulas to memorize. You have a passage, a question, and your own thoughts. And you have to pinpoint, when you struggle on one of these problems, why.

In general this review process can help, and will *force* you to be specific on where and how you missed a question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xem2vqSyenE

SC is a little more 'rule based,' so it's possible there's a rule you don't know, but if you've been studying for a while, the truth is you've probably been exposed to all the rules you need to get a V35. More likely, you're not reading structurally and noticing the chance to apply these rules. You have to build certain 'trigger words' that tell you to check certain structures, and you need to have a good *structural understanding* of a sentence.

Here are two videos that help with that:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIsU_JI7Z6w

This video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKg08_0H_oY

Is also a helpful video for verbal in general. It was made for the GRE, but the message/skills are obviously transferable.

If you find yourself running short on time, working on your solving approach may help. Reading to ABSORB on RC, for example.
