yeah, i i'm using the og 12th edition. i got a copy of the the 10th and 11th editions, as well as the og verbal review. i'll get started with the unread passages there. any other resource other than the og?sars72 wrote:Are you using OG 12? If so, I would suggest you grab a copy of OG 11 & 10 (if possible) and attempt the RCs in those.
thanks for your help. appreciate it.
there is the mgmat rc guide, but if you are faring well in the og, then there is no need to use that. For RC, the OG problems will more than suffice. You would be better off practising more of cr & sc because those are the ones that you can really improve on with regular practice. As for RC, if you are done with OG i would suggest you spend an hour or two on the following sites:
https://www.economist.com/
https://www.newscientist.com/
https://www.nytimes.com/
These will help with not only rc, but also sc & gk

Please buy the Manhattan RC 4th edition. It's the best resource on RC. Specially, it's diagraming technique , it's the best . Practice that diagraming technique on OG Questions as well . You will improve your speed and comprehension with that diagraming technique.nikhilg wrote:Any strategic tips for RC? I've figured out that the comprehension is a problem for me. I'm a very slow reader and at that the comprehension is even worse.
Any strategies/books to fight this would be really helpful.

Definitely !! Powerscore SC focuses on arguement structure rather than attacking the passages in a professional manner.Manhattan RC provides a practical approach to attack the passages within the limited time frame. However, I cannot comment on Powerscore LSAT RC , which I feel may be irrelevant for GMAT purposes as LSAT passages have different structure and different question pattern. I would like to have your view if you have any idea about POWERSCORE LSAT RC.osirus0830 wrote:This is better than the Powerscore RC guide?Aman verma wrote:Please buy the Manhattan RC 12th edition.

I was asking about the LSAT RC guide. I guess the way I view it is that Reading Comp is reading comp, so I don't think it matters whether the material focuses on the LSAT, GRE, MCAT, or GMAT
