From myself, I would add, Kaplan's verbal workbook is very good for strategies, esp Reading and CR I found helpful (answring the question before even reading the answer choices).
However, I found most books insufficiently helpful with grammar, esp to international students. I would suggest some ESL language book, toefl guide, or something else that has a lot of basic and straighforward rules about English usage. Then you can use PR/Kaplan to learn STYLE - that's what those books emphasize, not really subject verb agreement.
I have a few fresh reviews here:
