Hi,

I hope that your studying is going well. I have not looked at the Aristotle book (is it a strategy book or a book of RC passages?) but if you are having RC issues I would recommend reading an article every day from a well written publication (like the economist). This will help you increase your reading speed and comprehension. A few things to remember as you do this reading:

1. Read for total comprehension. Read as slowly as you have to in order to understand everything. Look up words that you do not know. (I know that you will not be reading like this on the GMAT but for training this is important)

2. Analyze as you are reading. Think about the main point of the article and the evidence that the author uses the support the main point.

3. Read about things that are unfamiliar to you so that you get used to dealing with new topics.

This reading will also help CR and SC as your reading improves and you become more familiar with complex grammatical structures.

Let me know if you have any questions on this. Best of luck!

HG.
