Hey, I dont think you need to panic. I mean, they are tougher than the real GMAT questions but then you know that your performance will improve on the GMAT working with such tough questions.

OG RCs are not the best to practice. It is just of the same or lower levels than in GMAT so it does not really help push your limits.
Vineesh,
Just telling you what I know and think. I am not the expert. :)

Hi!

I'm not sure that I understand the fascination with using LSAT questions to practice for the GMAT. Yes, there are some similarities between the two exams, but there are also a lot of differences.

Many people like to use LSAT questions for practice because they're perceived as more difficult and thus good to stretch your mental muscles. However, LSAT questions don't only differ from the GMAT in degree of difficulty - they also include different content, writing styles and question types. Just because parts of both tests are called "reading comprehension" doesn't mean that they're the same.

Unless you've truly exhausted GMAT resources, I'd avoid LSAT questions entirely (the same goes for logical reasoning, which can be vastly different from CR on the GMAT).
