I have generally found PowerScore books to be very helpful too, but I am kinda suspicious here because I just don't know how a book can improve your RC. It seems to me that the best way to improve RC is simply by reading a lot, working a lot of problems, and working to learn new vocabulary words.

I just checked the PowerScore website, and I don't think there is a RC Bible... I know they have SC, CR and a Verbal bible... is the latter the one you're referring too?

No, he's talking about the LSAT Reading Comp Bible. At the end of the day Reading Comp is reading comp, so I'm actually interested in a comprehensive review for this book as well. I tried to get one from an LSAT message board, but those guys are....different.

and yes "those guys" are different... they speak with words... i like numbers although the GMAT is slowly telling me that I understand words better too... hhmm maybe I should get this RC Bible! J/K I can't stomach looking at one more extra book right now.

My friend took the LSAT - I'll find out from her how this book was, although she didn't score as well as she would have liked, so now she's thinking about B-School... (very odd to me)

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
