I think The Official Guide has a great section on sentence correction. It includes a brief review that would greatly benefit you. However, it is not comprehensive. On top of that, I recommend doing a lot of sentence correction practice questions. Go over all the explanations of what you got wrong, that way you remember those rules and understand them.

SC: MGMAT SC (a must)+ OG12 + OG Verbal Supplement + OG 11
CR: Powerscore CR Bible + OG 12 + Verbal Supplement + LSAT Papers (for difficult questions)
RC: Read through the strategies in this forum + OG 12 + Verbal Supplement.

Donot use any non-standard material, it will only harm you. While solving every single questions read explanation why an option is correct or incorrect. If you don't do so, then you're wasting your time.

Then later on after exhausting the GMATprep exams, you can work on the Prep SC, CR documents floating in the forum.

From your score , its pretty clear that you dont need much help on the Math. My guess is your from India and to be honest , most of us face the problem with verbal especially SC. The reason is simple , we are never ever taught the rules in the right way ( mostly !!). The good thing though is SC is beatable just as maths is. ( is "is" required? or can be ignored as elipsis :) ....)
I would sugest get a copy of Aristotle SC. its the best for beginners and comes with 100 q&A as well.
Once you are comfortable with Aristotle, get Manhattan SC- best if you are aiming >90% in SC.
Every rule that GMAT tests in covered. Again , you need to practice a lotttttt.. This forum is the best place. Avoid avoid avoid non standard sources ex: '1000 SC'. It doesnt have any OE/OA and lot of answers are ambiguous.

Review all your answers and all answers choices even the wrong ones. You can learn a lot from them.

CR: you need to understand the GMAT way of CR. This will come from practice. Forum is the best place. you need to have powerscore CR bible.

RC: No strategy : try all strategies and see what works for you .

Please let us know if you need any further help.
