I ended up scoring 630 (V28, Q48) today on my GMAT Test. Not sure what happened to my verbal test in fact. Right after I have finished the verbal, I thought I have done a good job to get at least a 34, which is the average I have been getting when I did my practice test. Further, I actually saw a difficult SC question in the middle of the test, those with the whole sentence underlined (which made me say "YES!!" silently during the exam ). Hence, I can probably conclude that I did pretty badly towards the end of the test, which I did not realize, as I have finished the verbal exam on time.
I think I did a pretty good job in the rest of the exam though. As I am not retaking my next one until 11/19, I have more than enough time to improve my score. Any advice on how I can improve my Verbal score? I am thinking about doing a few more Manhattan and Kaplan practice tests. Should I also redo the two GMATPrep Tests? I have finished the Orange and the Purple books. Lastly, should I invest any more time on Math?
Here are my results of my previous practice exams -

"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."
