I'm guessing that you aren't getting as many replies to your poll because people don't usually buy both books. It's understandable: verbal has 3 section and no one really wants to spend all their money on just one. Besides, 300 or so pages per section is quite enough as far as practice goes and, of course, let's not forget about the time constraint most GMAT test takers face.

Personally, I've heard great things about the MGMAT SC guide. The CR book doesn't get that much publicity around here. I did use the Powerscore CR Bible and I thought it was fantastic for both CR and RC, but I can't lie and say I prefer it to the MGMAT guide. That would be unfair, since I haven't used the MGMAT book.

I agree with you, probably very few people used both books.

I will start to concentrate on CR and therefore I would like to pick up the best source.

I already have the MGMAT RC & SC, I like them so I will probably remain with MGMAT line and get the CR.

Thanks for the reply.
