Reading Comprehension

Hey,

Which LSAT book provides numerous LSAT passages/books (and if need be, things to look for) so I can practice the LSAT RC? I've heard good things on practicing LSAT RC passages.

Do they have a RC specific book I can work with?

I heard good things about the PowerScore LSAT RC Bible.

I would look for an book of official tests, released by the LSAC. Some prep guides make up their own questions, because they don't want to pay the licensing fee to use actual ones from the tests. While that's unfortunately a necessity for GMAT questions, because there are so few actual ones released, the LSAC releases the majority of their tests, so there's no reason not to get the real thing. Each test will have 4 RC passages and question sets. I think it's worth getting the whole exam, because many of the logical reasoning questions on the LSAT are good preparation for GMAT CR. Really, in any given LSAT exam, over 75% of the questions could potentially be good learning tools for the GMAT. There will always be some that just aren't consistent with GMAT style and content, but the only section of the test that's entirely useless to you is the logic games, and those are less than 25% of the questions on the more recent tests. Here's a link to some official released tests on Amazon:

Many Thx Andrea!

I could parallel your advice with TestLuv .He said the same thing about LSAT usage for GMAT! And I religiously followed his words & I could see the positive results!

If would appreciate if u can spend a minute more of How to use LSAT RC passages for GMAT RC??

I even bought the Kaplan way of answering the official LSAT series.So both go hand in hand for the 45 papers released.

But , I would be happier & informative if I could hear from you of How efficiently one should use LSAT official sets for RC in the capacity of GMAT"?

This material is floating on the Internet. Try "LSAT" on the eMule, Torrrent or esnips, there is a ZIP file with both the original tests and the Kaplan explantions to them.

LSAT SuperPrep is best! It has a section in the front which technically explains how to attack RC, as well as real passages.
