So here's my take on it:
CR: there is no one single proven technique to nail this. Powerscore CR is great. But you need to practise CR so much that you start internalizing the rules of powerscore CR and eventually develop a strategy to tackle each question. But still, a major component of tackling these questions will eventually depend upon your own interpretation in the end. Stamina will play a huge huge huge factor in getting this right. If I assume that my logical reasoning skills will remain constant, excessive practice and stamina is going to help me get a better hit rate on this
RC: No proven strategy. A combination of CR skills and again your intuitive reasoning skills. Stamina and practice for this too.
SC: Definitely room for improvement. manhattan SC, wren and martin, grammar books etc can get your hit rate up to 100%.
So, if you can get a hit rate of 75%+, 75%+ and 90%+ in CR, RC and SC respectively then you can easily get in the low 40s in verbal. And if your quant is 48+ then you are all set for a 100K bank loan
(unless you ace an 800 and get a tuition waiver)
