I will be taking the GMAT at the end of August.

I need to get a 700.
Should I stick with the strategies I've learned from Kaplan?
...I hear you can be confused if you are using other sources and mixing them up.

Top 3 schools I'm applying for:
Northwestern, Dartmouth, Cornell

If the Kaplan strategies are working for you on your practice questions and tests (including official stuff), then stick with them. If something's still not clicking, then try other strategies (Princeton Review is especially good for verbal). It's not a problem to mix strategies - do whatever works for you. My PR book suggests not trying PR strategies on other companies' simulated tests because they each write their own questions, but they are perfectly fine to use with official tests and practice questions, and of course, the real thing.

What are the differences between the verbal section of 10th and 11th editions of Official Guide?

I didn't know there was an 11th edition.
