Hi Vamshimedum, Your quant score seems to be solid. Now onto your verbal.

(1) Take a couple (or 3) practice CATS, fin...

I hear the Kaplan CATS are very different and difficult, and not a good representation of the actual GMAT.
And can I get Veritas CATS (on their own) with out buying any of their books?
Thanks!

Been through all the text books

Remember this:
"To maximize the area of a triangle given a base, make it a 90 degree isoceles, 90-45-45" -MGMAT book
Therefore with radius 1 (base =1), the height equals 1 and thus the area equalls 1/2.
