Verbal Strategy 4 retaking GMAT in 4 months

I took GMAT after 4 months of rigorous study 640 (Q47, V31).
I (non native) have started preparing in March 2012 and started with a GMATPrep1 of 540.

I will have around 20 free days from my work in Dec around Christmas and planning to give GMAT a second try with a target to move into Q49/50 and V40+ band.

Need your valuable suggestions to help me with my Verbal strategy:

This is what happened in the exam while taking verbal:

1. Have no clue in most of the SC Q's. have to Guess many to keep up with the pace.
2. Able to solve most of the CR Q's confidently, took notes and applied PoE. But ended up spending more than 2 minutes in the CR Q's, leading to guesses at each milestone to keep up with the time.
3. I didn't took notes in RC and was not confident of answering Q's but managed to solve few.
Spend more than 100 seconds in most of the RC Q's. Didn't guess any RC Q though but i was not confident in few Q's.

I have studied from following sources:
MGMAT SC/RC/CR guides (4th Edition)
MGMAT Verbal Foundation
Powerscore LR Bible
MGMAT LSAT CR Guide
MGMAT LSAT RC Guide

Verbal Practice Questions from many forums and OG11/OG12/OG13/VR2 and QP1.

Suggestions for improving verbal score?

A quick tip concerning your problems with SC is to go through SC problems focusing on accuracy and not timing currently. You need to be able to say confidently why each correct answer is the the right one - be ready to support each of your choices with a relevant rule. You should focus on timing later, a month or even 2-3 weeks before the exam when the time comes to do simulation tests.
