For vocabulary you should start learning 3 new words daily with correct pronounciation and meaning and use them in your daily conversations so that you can memorize them properly. For RC section you should start reading passages and understand the thought process of author. What are his intentions and what message he actually wants to deliver through the pasaage. This will help you in solving most of the questions asked below the passage. You can also refer the Arun Sharma book for verbal ability to know different types of questions asked in the CAT exam.

Along with this once in a while you can also give a mock test and analyse solutions of each mock test thoroughly which will help you in overcoming your mistakes and making up a strategy to attempt the paper which will definitely help you in improving your marks and percentile. These mock test will also give you a proper idea of CAT exam.
