The first thing you should be doing is take a practice test(ideally GMATPREP) to gauge where do you stand currently. One month is a little on the shorter side of the prep time people ideally dedicate.
Honestly speaking, do not study for 9 hours a day. If you do that,you'll burn out by the time you take the exam.
Get the best books for Verbal ,chalk out a strategy for yourself(you may wanna use the 30-day Study Guide under the Self study section) However, you'll have to modify that study plan as you wanna focus on Verbal. Any particular reason you're taking the exam in such a hurry ?

hey i did read ur BTG article on ur prep strategies on scoring a 760.congrats!!! The reason why I am in such a hurry is that i wont be able to take my test during may because I will be engaged in some other work,may be if I am getting a very low score at the end of my prep I can reschedule it to may 1st week or so.As of now I am taking it on aprill 26th,which is a short span.Please give me some ideas on how I can plan my method of study.Can u also send me the materials u have to [email protected] thanks
