on my side I can help with the Verbal boosting recipe - pretty straightforward and effective within the limited time period
I would expect you to pm me about how you managed Q50, I am your mate at BTG and also country resident to struggle badly to step out Q42 for one month now!
Here it goes:
SC - three-week long course - register for e-gmat at $39 (believe me reading tons of English grammar papers won't help too much on GMAT)
CR - Critical Reasoning bible from PowerScore (I pm-ed you the download link)
RC - just reading everything on test but doing it quickly and with a good comprehension and taking notes of main ideas, premise and conclusion points, pro-s and con-s, stats-try translating every word you read into the usual language you speak; do this as long as you read and you will see 95% improvement in comprehension of even crazy scientific context passages)
Overal in SC you should see at least 85% accuracy for 550-level questions, 75-80% accuracy for the questions up to 650-level; the rest (650+) is up to your knowledge and brightness.
In CR you may well expect 75% accuracy on average question (usually CR questions are around 600-650 level)
RC section is again based on how effectively you apply the strategy suggested above. You need to target to max.allowable 1 mistake out of 4 RC questions.
Summing up all SC 11/14, CR 7-8/11, RC 12/16 => 30-31 correct or the Verbal scaled score of 38-39.
More than enough to crack the exam with Q50 repeated next time- it will make 730 or 740.
