Hi adityadon,
From what I can see is that you still have not started with the DS portion from the OG and that might explain your 49 score in Quants. I believe that if you complete the DS section, you ca easily hit 50/51. So you should be good on the quants part.
Now coming to verbal. I can sense the following reasons why you are not hitting your target score:
1. You have not practised enough from the official questions
2. You have not maintained an error log
Can you help me with the answers to the following questions:
1. Did you go through the concepts before jumping on to the questions?
2. Did you prepare an error log?
3. Do you go back and reattempt the questions that you have gone wrong?
4. Do you have problem in understanding the questions and identifying what is being testes, or you struggle with your timing?
You still need to have a 12 point jump in your Verbal score and the Official questions will play an important part in it.
Try to solve all the remaining ones and if possible stick to only the Official ones.
Also, attempt the two GMAT Prep CATs before you start solving the collection pdfs, else your scores might be inflated.

Hi adityadon,
The bulk of the missing points that you're looking for are going to be found in the Verbal section, so it's important to define HOW you're approaching that part of your studies:
1) What resources have you used to study for the Verbal section?
2) What 'steps' do you go through when dealing with a typical SC, RC or CR prompt?
3) How often are you 'narrowing the answer choices down to 2 choices' and then picking the one that 'sounds good?'
4) On this last CAT, how did you perform overall on SC, RC and CR (what fraction of each question type did you get correct)?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
