Article sources to practice RC? Post Tue Mar 13, 2012 11:04 pm

    Hey guys,

    as many of you I am currently preparing for the GMAT exam.
    So far Reading Comprehension seems to be my only real problem (I recently emigrated to the US from Europe and consequently I am rather used to articles in my mother tongue).
    I am not on a certain time limit. I would like to take the test before June but if I don't feel confident enough for 700+ I will postpone. Technically I only want to get it all done by the end of the year.

    It seems that I simply read too slowly and hence wont be able to finish RC in time.
    Vocabulary only sometimes is an issue.

    In order to improve my RC capabilities I am looking for Online Resources that provide articles written in similarly challenging English as the GMAT passages.

    I looked at wsj.com, ft.com and economist.com but they all seem to be a bit easier.

    Can anyone recommend great resources?

    Thank you,
    Kevin
