I took GMAT today and scored 690 (Q50 V32).

Nice Quant score! If you decide to retake, for Verbal I've suggested Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition (SC and CR) to students. You may also find the idiom list (downloadable Excel file on the Gmat Knight blog) helpful as well for Sentence Correction.

Consider working with a study buddy with strong Verbal skills whom you can tutor Quant in return. I had a student who went from a V31 to V40 in about 30 days. Although we did 6 hours of tutoring, he used a variety of resources in his total prep journey, including working with a study buddy from the same country.

I believe i am good at SC and CR. I found RC tough in almost all passages. Can you suggest some good resource for the same.

Beyond traditional GMAT resources, you should also focus on reading random articles you can get your hands on through various well-known publications. Examples include (but are not limited to) the WSJ, New Yorker Times, New Yorker, the Atlantic, Vanity Fair, etc.

The topics shouldn't necessarily be ones that are interesting or familiar to you. In fact, it's better if they are not as it can be harder to read and digest the information for those topics that might be boring or foreign to you.

As for the actual questions off of the passages, that's where the books (e.g., Manhattan GMAT) can be helpful for strategies and patterns.

Hope that helps,
