Hi users!

I started preparing for GMAT this year around January, 2014. My scores are as follows:

January -560 (GMAT Prep 1) Q46 V21
February 20th- 560 (GMAT Prep 2)
March 3rd- 590 (Kaplan CAT)Q48 V21
March 8th - 640 (Veritas GMAT Free test)Q48 V30

I have recognised my weak points. They are SC and CR. In the latest exam, i.e. Veritas GMAT, I scored 92% of the CR correctly and only about 20% of RC correctly. I need help, as to how I should progress further, as my target score is 700+. Links on free downloadable material are most welcome. Thankyou in advance!
P.S. HERE is the breakup of my latest Verbal Score:
Verbal Reasoning

Score: 30 - Percentile: 56
% correct # correct # incorrect Pace per question
Overall 66% 27 14 01m 42s
Critical Reasoning 92% 11 1 02m 43s
Reading Comprehension 21% 3 11 01m 44s
Sentence Correction 87% 13 2 00m 51s

Hi swarnav999,

Many of the skills that can be used on CR questions can also be used on RC questions. To that end, what practice materials have you been using? And what is your process for dealing with a typical RC passage/questions?

I have been using the Official Guide, Princeton Review material and the Kaplan Premier GMAT book.
Now for RC, this itself is my question. What method to use? The way I solve the passages is just by reading the passage, then read the questions, then again read the passage to find the answer, but I cant find it, or it takes a lot of time to do so!
