At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

I'd like to get some opinions about the best prep-material (books or courses) to use for the CR section of the GMAT.
My ESR showed that CR was by far my weakest area which surprised me. I mean I knew I wasn't super-strong at CR questions, but I performed even worse than on all Quant sections of the GMAT.
CR = 37th percentile. BAD! BAD! BAD!
My strongest area was SC which made total sense. I am a non-native English speaker but I know I am doing well with the grammar stuff of the GMAT. I know I may even be able to improve a little bit on the SC section if I pay more attention to details. All of these mistakes were silly mistakes which technically I could have avoided.
Not so for RC and CR. I could argue for days why MY answers were wright and GMAT answers were wrong.
So point being... I have my next GMAT scheduled for June 11th. I am nervous because even though I am more prepared than last time I am not sure if I am ready to get the score I need. I am currently considering if I should reschedule or not. I think I want to take one more MGMAT to see where I approximately stand.
RC and especially CR have not improved at all. Can someone please tell me what helped them with these two verbal sections of the GMAT?
I see so many great verbal scores here that it HAD TO come from CR and RC as well, not just from SC.

What you should do is check the official explanation for each of those questions, and align yourself with the reasoning given by the GMAT. Another thing you might want to keep in mind is that you need to select the best of the 5 options (which is almost certainly not going to be a "perfect" option). I don't know whether this applies to you, but a lot of people (who are actually really good at critical thinking) go in trying to find situations in which even the correct option would fail, but that is not the task assigned by the GMAT.
