Well, you have given too little information for anyone to help you. What is it that you have problem with SC, RC or CR? Do you have timing issues. Please post some more information and also browse through some of the existing threads in this section and "I beat the GMAT" section you will find a ton of valuable posts.

Also be very careful with the 1000 series, from what I have heard the answers to some of those questions are wrong.

as the previous poster has indicated, you haven't provided a lot of concrete information for us to build on here, so it's difficult for us to say anything other than "try searching through the other verbal strategy posts".
BUT
i do feel compelled to comment on the comment that you have "already done [your] OG's":
are ALL of the following statements true?
1) you can explain, precisely, not only why every correct answer in the OGs is correct, but also why every INCORRECT answer in the OGs is incorrect.
2) for every problem, you can classify the problem into a general category (e.g., "parallelism" or " 'which' modifier" for sentence correction; "overlapping sets" or "prime factorization" for quant), and recognize the SIGNALS that indicate that the problem belongs to that category.
3) you have an OPENER to start every problem - NOT a completely thought-out solution, but just an opener - within about 10-15 seconds of the time you finish reading the problem.

if these statements are not ALL true, then you have NOT "finished your OGs". put another way, if the meaning of "finished the OGs" is that you've just gone through all the problems, giving yourself a high five when you get them right and sighing when you get them wrong - as is the meaning of "finished" to the vast majority of potential test takers - then you really haven't finished them at all.

remember that you've never going to see those problems on the real test. therefore, there's actually no point whatsoever in studying them unless you're learning OPENERS for general classes of problems, and/or extracting GENERAL TAKEAWAYS that will actually apply to other problems of similar types.

good luck with your studies.
