It would take me probably three days straight of typing to tell someone how to get better at CR, SC, DS, and RC, or 4/5 of the entire test. :) There are many, many things someone could do, and it depends on your very specific strengths and weaknesses, how much improvement you hope to get, how much time you have, etc.
What have you done so far in your prep? What specifically are you struggling with at the 700+ level for those various question types? For example, in DS, are there certain content areas in which you're struggling? Or are you struggling with techniques for this specific question type? (eg, taking too long because you're solving further than you need to, or pulling the plug too early and thinking something's sufficient when it's not - or vice versa - because you haven't done enough work?) Or some of both? What are those areas? Did you make a mistake because you were rushing, and you were rushing because you spend too much time on earlier questions? Basically, when you make a mistake, WHY did you make the mistake?
Go back and look at all of those individual problems. Keep a file or notebook in which you type or write precisely why you made the mistakes you made on a certain problem, and what you need to do to minimize the chances of making those mistakes in the future. Any time you notice a pattern - a certain kind of mistake you make over and over again - highlight that one and spend extra time making sure you stamp out the tendency to make that kind of mistake. And don't forget about the global picture - if you're getting some things wrong simply because you're running out of time, you may need to "fix" things that you're getting right, because you may be spending too much time to do that.
Then, go do whatever you've decided you need to do. Review any math or grammar you need to review. Review how to identify and deal with different types of questions in CR and RC. Review techniques for all of those question types. Review timing. Etc.
