Hi, I am Rahul
Got 650 on my first attempt. Quant=42, Verbal=36
Target is 740+
As an economics graduate, I was a little shocked as I am not that bad at Maths. 42 definitely understated my capabilities. And, I am targeting at least 40 in Verbal.
Quant -:
Problem with Quants is that I know all the concepts, but when it comes to solving the problems within the given time, i end up making a mess. I always had timing problem even in my practice mocks where somehow i did manage 46-47. My weak areas were Word problems and Inequalities. I am planning on solving a lot more problems in quants this time, something that I ignored previously. Any specific books that i can refer to or any specific way of approaching my weak areas or timing issue?
Verbal -:
I am good with SC (Approx. 85% accuracy). However, CR and mainly RC pulls me down!
What books to refer for CR? my main weakness is the weakening questions and the inference questions.
What else can i do about RC apart from reading more? again, inference questions just kill me.
For, my first attempt, i read through 8 Manhattan guides. I solved whole of SC part of my OG-13 and approx. 50% of each of Quant, CR and RC. And solved 6-7 mock tests (kaplan and manhattan), getting approx 660-670.
Any ideas on what to do about Quant, CR and RC? Should I join a coaching institute? I spoke to someone who said coaching wont help getting beyond 670-680. I myself should make an effort or look for a personalised coaching that can help me on my weaknesses and not do the whole course again.
Any suggestions?

A course is never useless! In a class, an expert explains fundamentals and advanced concepts, runs through some questions which apply those concepts and sorts out doubts that people may have. How much value one gains out of a class depends on how involved one is - most people can get a lot of value!
Of course, a personal tutor adds even more value, especially if the fundamentals are already in place. Another way is self study with the right resources - say with an On Demand package with videos of classes so that you can watch the ones you need.
Different things work for different people.
The good thing is that you already know your weaknesses. Here are some posts that might help you consolidate your understanding of these topics: https://anaprep.com/blogs/
