Resource Help

Hi.

Can any one point me to some representative materials for practice (RC and CR)

I have given GMAT 3 times (550 to 600 to 640) and have used the following materials and tests, hence using these again wont help me much, besides it wont be representative. This will be my fourth and supposedly final attempt.

Materials used.... so far:
OG 10 & 11, PR Crack the GMAT, Kaplan Premier and Kaplann 800, a lot of 1000 pack RC's and CR's (including LSAT ones), Mahnattan SC, Powerscore GMAT CR Bible

Tests taken.... so far:
GPREP (n Times), MGMAT - Twice, Kaplan and PR - Once(including their free online tests), PowerPrep - Once and Mcgraw hill paper based tests - Once

I have heard about Veritas Prep Tests and about GMAX online RC and CR coaching.
How are these two resources?
I am thinking of buying Veritas Prep exams, since I dont have any new ones to practice with (besides I would like to practice with representative materials). I am also thinking of exploring the GMAX RC and CR coaching.....but I am not sure whether the money spent will be worth it. I have not heard much about them.

Please comment and enlighten.

rgds,

Why do you think the books you used earlier would not help you any more?

They have loads of tips n tricks re-reading them would definitely help you improve your skill.
In my experience I always learn something new when I re-read/re-learn any book/material.

Hi Aim.

I surely can re-read the books/other materials, however when it comes to solving RC's and CR's, specificaly, I may not be able to test myself because I already read those passages and somehow the story(RC) and logic(CR) is impressioned in my mind. I already faced this problem during my 3rd attempt.
What I am looking at is a fresh set of materials (which would be difficult to obtain) to assess myself and to get a true indicator of my ability.

Thank you.

Valid points 3G.
I am not familiar with the content of the prep materials you mentioned so I can't comment on these.

We have, I am sure quite a few members who used these materials...
