Did you struggle with the entire verbal section, or one or two types of questions in particular? Is English your first language?

i am taking my gmat on 12th Aug 2010. I scored 610 on powerprep with no preparation. the quant score is 50 and verbal score is 26. Any suggestions as to how i should improve/prepare from here on?
A very general answer is to read newspapers online everyday for at least 30 minutes, go over the Manhattan GMAT SC, and the Powerscore CR.
If my post helped you- let me know by pushing the thanks button ;)

Yes i struggled with the entire verbal. English is my first language.
I have now started with Manhattan SC and i see some improvement. Now that i know verbal is my weak area, should i concentrate more on verbal or quickly finish quant first and then handle verbal. ( background : i have just started my preparation, took the powerprep thats it )

your math score is excellent! and if English is your fist language you should start working in the verbal section
you will definitely score above 700

Read a lot of difficult materials that are not something you would normally read. Science passages would be my weakness, so I started to read a lot of them.

There are some good links under the Resources tab.

that's good
there is a ton of material around this forum!
you can read articles from the newspaper, wsj, ft, etc

have you also think about taking some preparation course? I don't know your budget
but it can really help

Just to check- do you mean the 1000 question series?
Another source that might help you are the old LSAT tests- the RC and CR sections are tougher than what you'll see on the GMAT so it should help with your confidence and your reading ability
