Took one of the tests here and got:
26 out of 41 spending 50 min out of 75. I noticed that the ones i got right were "no brainers" - questions that took less than a minute and some even shorter. Many of the ones i got wrong on were questions i had difficulty with and the time spent shows it but i still got it wrong! I dont really notice a pattern of what type of question i got wrong though... any suggestions because i will need more than a 26 to get a decent verbal score....

what do you mean you didn't see a pattern? how many SC, CR, or RC did you get wrong?
for SC split based on the topics: parallelism, idiom, s-v ..
for CR split based on the type of question: strengthen, weaken, assumption ....
for RC split based on the type of question: general, specific (according to the passage, inference)

Determining the split of problems missed as MikeCoolBoy suggests is definitely the first step. Analyzing the answers will help you to study to progressively become more focused as you advance through practice tests.
For general tips, however, I'd suggest the following:
RC - Read articles daily from various different news sources. Break the articles down using good GMAT strategies that you may already be using (number each paragraph, write a few key words/sentences to summarize the idea of the paragraph, etc).
SC - Once again, try to make sure you are using the best strategies: grouping answer choices together where possible to knock out answer types that are invalid etc.
CR - Something I like to suggest to students is to practice on LSAT questions as well as GMAT questions. The CR questions on the LSAT are a bit harder and are a good form of practice.
All this being said, practice with a tutor or through hearing an instructor go through his own processes in relation to a question really can help with transforming one's on way of working through problems. If you would like any information about tutoring or courses, contact us at the number in the sig. We'll be able to offer you a discount for being referenced from this forum.
Hope this helps.
