Take it from someone who has finished both books last month.
MGMAT is a really good book and you learn a lot while working on the action problems but CR Bible from Powerscore is going into more deeper with the explanations and cover all of the bases. If time is problem, I would go with the BIBLE, otherwise read both!

hi! I 've finished MGMAT and started Powerscore , yet neither did not work on me. After that , I've decided to solve the OG questions again with reading carefully and writting my wrong answers assumptions , premises , conclusions. I am now also using Paper Tests(retired questions) it is now working I think.

Hi perfectstranger,
These are some things that I'm trying to improve to get a better score in RC, may be you need to improve one of these (just in case English is not my native language).
- How much detail I can extract from the stimulus
- How much information can I retain from the stimulus (so I don't need to read it twice)
- Be *really* careful interpreting the words (most is not All, some is not most, etc).
- Do not generalize
- Avoid answering using previous knowledge on the subject or feeling/emotion. I have a had sciences background, and sometimes I find myself more interested in reading the facts in the stimulus than in answering the question.
Cheers,
Augusto
