The basic resource that you should definitely use is the Official Guide 13th edition, which contains the Integrated Reasoning section.

I'll echo what Kasia said, and add that any official materials are great for practice (OG12, OG13, OG Quantititative, OG Verbal, GMATPrep tests). However, it's also important to add that, while these are great resources for practice questions, they're not really meant as instructional materials. For example, the OG13 often has solutions that are highly algebraic, when there are often faster approached you could have taken.

To increase your score, you'll need to learn some GMAT-specific strategies (and the application of all key concepts), and you'll find the kind of instruction in a variety of resources, beginning with the various test-prep companies featured on this website.

Cheers,
Brent

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
