I'm planning on taking the GMAT again because I didn't do well on verbal. I am familiar with the OG guide verbal questions so redoing these won't be beneficial since I sort of remember the answers.

This link suggests the powerscore verbal bible and PR 1012. Are these good resources to practice verbal questions (CR + SC+ RC) or are they mostly for learning strategy?

What resources are good for praticing if you are familiar with OG verbal guide?

I think there is a separate study plan for those who are trying to bump their score. Did you do well in the quant? Try to analyze the source of your trouble. Do you read fast enough? Are you native English speaker? Which kind of questions trouble you, sentence correction or others? Then your plan should focus on strengthening your weak areas.

Good luck and study well.

I personally would prefer Manhattan SC and PowerScore CR book!

The MGMAT books and PowerScore Bible are for learning strategy, so they are NOT what you are looking for.

I don't own PR 1012, but from what I've read in the reviews, it seems like mainly practice questions (both math and verbal), although they are made up by PR so take them with a grain of salt.

Since I am also studying for the LSAT, I am a strong advocate of using LSAT questions to practice CR and RC. If you want to practice the questions all mixed up, I would suggest The Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT book (https://www.amazon.com/Next-Actual-Offic ... gy_b_img_b); ignore the Logic Games in these tests. If you want to practice the questions sorted by type, I would suggest the Grouped by Question Type book (https://www.amazon.com/GROUPED-Question- ... 491&sr=1-1). There are something like 1000 CR questions in this book and it is very helpful for Strengthen, Weaken, Conclusion, and Assumption question practice. They also make a RC book in the series--Grouped by Passge Type (https://www.amazon.com/Grouped-Passage-T ... pd_sim_b_5), but this is less useful than the CR book since it's just sorted by passage topic.

SC1000 is an okay resource for SC, but I would be careful as I have heard that the source of those questions is sketchy and even some of the answer are wrong? Hmmm, does anyone have any good (non-sketchy) resources for more SC question practice? GRE maybe?

There is a document somewhere on this forum in which someone pulled all SC questions from GMAT Prep. I would say this is gold and you should definitely practice with this right before your retake.
