Superprep Strategy

by smodak » Fri Jul 08, 2011 9:37 am
I am planning to practice some RC and CR questions from Superprep. Both the LR and RC questions seem similar to GMAt with some differences. What types of questions in RC and LR from Superprep I should avoid?

Superprep is for LSAT so it is a bad strategy to use that for GMAT. There are plenty of good books for GMAT so why wander to other areas?

I used to be a strong believer in the "virtues" of solving harder questions that LSAT poses. This was in 2005 - the era of the 1000 series. However I soon realized that harder doesn't translate to similar. A lot of concepts and types that are tested on the LSAT are never going to be tested on the GMAT so it forms a bad test prep strategy.

For starters the RC passages are never going to be that long or esoteric. The CR is not going to twist the language as much. So you end up NOT preparing for the GMAT.
