To get 670+ you'll need raw scores in 40s. So I would definitely prioritize verbal.

Manhattan guides are good, but don't really lay down a grammar foundation. Check out some basic English grammar books. Do you have any sense of whether you did better in reading comprehension, critical reading, or sentence correction?

A scaled score of 11 on Verbal is not impressive at all and if you wanna get around 670 , you'll need an average of 40,as pointed out by Cbenk121, on both the sections- give or take few point. Going by your Verbal score, I think that you're a)not very familiar with the English language b) not been much into the habit of reading . I think it'd be better to firstly build up your foundation and then work upwards. You may wanna go through the basics of grammar,and then start with the MGMAT Guides. Also I highly suggest that you get into the habit of reading. Read as much as possible and as diverse material as possible.

Thank you. The reading comprehension was the most difficult. I bought the kaplan Verbal Foundation book i am going to do. I also enrolled in the gmax online course.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
