If such strategy is available, we would all score 760! The best strategy for each individual is different, only you and perhaps someone that had worked with you on the subjects of GMAT can determine. There are many resources on this website and a lot of debriefs available.

Your best bet is to do all the verbal questions in the 12th edition OG, and then do all the verbal questions in the supplementary Verbal OG. The Manhattan SC book is also a good resource for SC questions.

Beyond that, there is no "quick trick" to improve your verbal skills. You really have to spend the time to improve your English writing/reading skills from scratch.
