I was curious if there's a suggested goal for each section to achieve a score of 45 or better in the verbal portion.
I am not a native speaker, but I am trying to get above 750 on the exam.
I have taken GRE in the past (720 Verbal), but GMAT is definitely harder than GRE.
My performance in SC and CR were horrible when I took the exam cold, but after two weeks of studying, the scores have improved (~70% OG).
I feel like I have a long way to go until I reach my goal, but I am very determined.
Is there any suggested % for each section of verbal exam to obtain a score of 45 or higher? SC and CR seem conquerable, but I am a bit shaky on RC.
Would 90% in SC/CR and 80% in RC be good enough? I would appreciate your insight. Thank you.

You can't really look at percentages as a way to predict your score. Because the GMAT is adaptive, you will consistently miss 30-40% of problems. You score is generated from the quality of the questions you are getting correct/incorrect. It's very possible to miss more questions and get a higher score if you are working on more difficult questions.
Also, keep in mind that you must attack your weaknesses to improve your score. You need to be well balanced within each section (quant/verbal), because weakness on a particular question type/content area is interpreted as overall weakness in the section. Your weakness in RC will prevent you from showing off your strengths in the other areas. For example, if you are the world's best SC test-taker but you are terrible at RC, the test will want to increase the difficulty when you hit SC problems, but as soon as you hit RC, the test will bring you right back down. Invest more preparation time in RC to allow yourself to hit the higher difficulty problems in SC/CR.
