I would suggest getting the PowerScore Critical Reasoning Bible for Critical Reasoning. That should help a lot. With AWA, hmmmm I wouldn't worry about it.

Hi,
I would suggest the Princeton Review Guide for Cracking the GMAT (something similar to that title) and this will give you a great overview of what the GMAT is and also what types of problems you can expect to see. Once you understand the basics, I would then suggest getting the Official Guide for GMAT Review (commonly referred to as OG) and this will give you hundreds of great practice problems. Also, do as many practice tests as you can. The GMAT is really all about practice.
These are my main strategies. 1) Understand what will be on the test, and 2) lots of practice.
Good luck!

You might also want to take a practice test to develop a baseline score.
