Can somebody confirm whether the 1000 RC and SC series reflect gmat-styled questions?
I have exhausted the material in all OGs, Kaplan 800,Kaplan Premier , Princeton etc and hence looking for a good source of questions for the verbal session.

How about Manhattan and Powerscore? They're highly recommended, MGMAT for its SC guide and Powerscore for the CR Bible...

The books are excellent from content and concept building point of view.. But the SC guide does not contain any questions, and the powerscore CR contains only a handful of them..

Well, I used largely the same practice questions as you did (except for Princeton - didn't use that one) and felt it was about as good as it gets. Have you also tried reviewing your first sets of problems? If it's been a while, they might not be as fresh.
I really don't know of any other reputable sources, except for those provided by test prep companies in their question banks (I know Kaplan has one and so does Knewton; not so sure if MGMAT has one). Maybe someone else around here can help you, though.

I would like to add one point here. The 1000 series have some very good ques. The questionable part is the answers. Well if you can find some help (like a tutor or our btg experts) who can explain the answers, then they might be good for practice.
