Hi
Sorry to hear about your score. I also know its harder to stand out in verbal section particularly when English is not your native language.
Can I know what material are you following for Verbal prep? What were your scores on the practice exams?
Make sure you are using OG 10,11,12 and verbal review. Besides, I recommend you Manhattan SC and powerscore CR bible. Try to solve at least 3 RCs per day.

Hi sorry for the late reply. I used the OG 12th edition and I finished 1/3 of it. Also, I used the princeton review manual. Thank you for your suggestions!

Don't feel bad. GMAT is not TOEFL which tests your english skills. As a matter of fact, less learnt you are, better chances to learn GMAT english you have. People who have studied commonwealth english and grammar face hard time because they have learnt certain kind of english, usage and style. In your case, it is just matter of picking up right weakness which is definitely not the english language.
