Start with GRE Wordlist. You should go through 1-2 wordlists everyday and before moving on to the next one, revise the previous one. GRE Community contains lot of lessons and tests to help you prepare for the verbal section. First read the lessons so that you get an idea about the types of questions asked in the section. Once you have reviewed the lessons, practice giving as many tests as possible. Reading Comprehension Passage is the toughest one in the section. Practice them regularly.
