For verbal, should I stick official questions or should I solve other GMAT sources questions also?
Great question, lakshya14. I suggest you treat official questions like gold, as a precious commodity that you do not want to waste. Too many students make the mistake of buying an OG and blowing through x questions a day until they have exhausted the thing, then coming to the realization that they really did not make too much progress, and now they need more questions. To be clear, I think it is fine to practice third-party questions: GMAT Club offers plenty from multiple sources. However, I think it is vital to center your studies on official questions. They have a certain feel to them, and since GMAC™ does not license official questions to anyone else, third parties can only approximate GMAT™ questions to avoid legal proceedings. If you want to learn grammar from e-GMAT, go ahead; practice a couple problems from a Princeton Review book you got at the library, fine; but treat those resources as theory-builders, and treat official questions as opportunities to prove what you have learned elsewhere.You should also check out the beginners' guides series for Verbal by GMATNinja. You can start with the Reading Comprehension guide, here. Happy reading. And if you have further questions, feel free to ask, either here or elsewhere. This is a community that would like to help you succeed.
Good luck with your studies.

Hi lakshya14,
There are plenty of sources for high-quality GMAT practice questions (both the Official questions from GMAC and various 3rd-party providers), so you don't have to restrict your studies to just the Official materials. Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
