Check out the Beat The GMAT Blog. One example of an effective strategy to help you from the ground up. Additionally, spend some time reading through some of the debriefs in the 'I just Beat The GMAT' section of this site. There are quite a few stories of people who have made dramatic improvements in their score, and you may find some great tactical advice for you there.

Good luck!
