Hello All,

I am pretty weak in comprehending abstract Science/Literature(about some author,his life etc)/History passages. Could anyone of you let me know whether there is any site or specific magazine that has GMAT-like articles.

Thanks for reading my message

I hope I have posted in the right forum, if not,sorry about the confusion.

Regards,
Cricketsteve5

Hey Cricketsteve5 -- not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, however the daily newspapers like the Washington Post and the NY Times have excellent articles that can help improve general English skills. We see sentences in them all the time that would qualify for a sentence correction problem on the GMAT!! That's not quite the same thing as RC but perhaps it will be useful?

https://www.washingtonpost.com
https://www.nytimes.com

UK magazines too like Financial Times or BBC, though remember that the British do grammar differently than the Americans (and the GMAT tends to favor American styles).

In terms of more traditional RC - dunno - maybe wikipedia???

That's a really good point, edirik - in fact, sometimes we make GMAT-like practice problems out of them! See https://www.beatthegmat.com/post435068.html

Another very helpful resource on grammar is actually the NYTimes own "After Deadline" column, where the editors present mistakes they had published in their own paper! Here's one from October that we thought was excellent: https://topics.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10 ... trouble-3/ Just keep in mind that some of their "mistakes" are specific to the NYTimes Style Guide, which is usually identical to what the GMAT test would cover but they are not guaranteed to be 100% identical.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
