The OG 12th edition is a must have.Manhattan books have been recommended on this forum
I use the Kaplan premier which is very good for strategizing and key concepts.
Good luck with your study.Now you knoe your weeknesses and can go on from there.

You can easily score 600-650..
Firstly, identify your weak areas.Accordingly, prepare well. Dont just jump into the practice questions.Get to know the intricacies well, in the sense you know what to do for most,if not all, the question types and then practice the basic questions. Doing this itself should take you in the high-500 zone(ie 550-600). Then a bit of more practice should take you in the zone you wanna be. Solve OG-12 especially.Solving this well completely should ensure your target score.

I think getting a good score is as much a function of your preparation strategy as it is a function of your hardwork.
For eg, instead of crazily doing more and more questions, one should focus on the learning derived from the questions. Analysis of each and every question is quite important. Go through the explanations of all the questions even if you get a question wrong.
You seem to be awfully short on the good quality material.For example, having the Official Guide is a must.
I can't suggest much for Quant because I was quite good at it so didn't have any issues.
Here are my suggestions for Verbal
SC - MGMAT SC Guide, Aristotle SC Grail
CR- Powerscore CR Bible
RC - RC99

Just stay charged and focused and I'm sure that getting a 600 wouldn't be a Herculean task

"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."
