to my experience, Manhattan Gmat sentence correction could helps you get at least 5-7 more correct answers and so do CR Bible.
Hope it works for you too

Thanks buddy.
I recently took another KAPLAN online practice CAT- 570(q59,v23). Unfortunately, on verbal section I solved first 10 questions incorrectly & end up with even lower score on verbal.
The only sign of relief is that my SC is improving, but I am still struggling with RC & sometimes CR as well. Any expert suggestion for RC improvement would be most helpful( I am a non-native English speaker).

Hi There,

My Verbal score are not as high as expected because-

1. I didn't practice well.
2. I didn't review whatever I practiced.

Hence, I am removing all the negatives from my study strategy.

Suggestions for you-

SC- MGMAT SC strategy guide.
CR- Powerscore CR Bible.
RC- from any source (practice as much as you can & make MAPS of the passage before jumping into questions).

If you are non native English speaker(just like me)then you could take e-gmat SC course( highly recommended in various forum post).

One question- Please tell me which practice CAT exam you are taking (Kaplan/Manhattan/Knewton etc.)?

I will second the resources suggested in the above post..
SC guide + CR bible..
take e-gmat course if you spend a few bugs. they have "THE BEST" course for SC.

may u need to tweak ur practice..

for SC refer my blog "how to prepare for sc"
when practicing for CR, try to understand the reasoning.. GMAT uses the same kind of reasoning it only changes the situation..
