Lap   Why a timer is critical to improving your score

Hi All,

I would like to share here what i call a RC encyclopedia. Where do you think GMAC comes up with their strange stories. Here is a clue.
(I dont mean that the RC you see in GMAT come from here..to clarify any doubts..this is just for added practice)

Go to this website..

http://literacynet.org/cnnsf/index_cnnsf.html

you have a choice of stories (RC passages to choose from)

either CNN stories or CBS i chose CNN..

It mentions the different categories you want to study for. Either you chose category or you chose any of the stories listed under CNN or CBS..

Once you chose a story goto Abridged version of the story ..

You see the Passage in main window and on the left frame you see Activities.

You can choose any of them..theyll present you questions

I always prefer to choose conclusions..

Ok also you can practice some critical reasoning however the sad part is no options are provided for the same..

click on Your turn in the activities box and you are presented with Inference or your opinion type of questions.

ALL THE BEST GUYS..

hope this info helps..

I suggest you go for this if you have exhausted all your OG, Kap and Princeton, Manhattan and still want practice
