Article sources to practice RC?

by Kevinst » Tue Mar 13, 2012 10:04 pm
Hey guys,

as many of you I am currently preparing for the GMAT exam.
So far Reading Comprehension seems to be my only real problem (I recently emigrated to the US from Europe and consequently I am rather used to articles in my mother tongue).
I am not on a certain time limit. I would like to take the test before June but if I don't feel confident enough for 700+ I will postpone. Technically I only want to get it all done by the end of the year.

It seems that I simply read too slowly and hence wont be able to finish RC in time.
Vocabulary only sometimes is an issue.

In order to improve my RC capabilities I am looking for Online Resources that provide articles written in similarly challenging English as the GMAT passages.

I looked at wsj.com, ft.com and economist.com but they all seem to be a bit easier.

Can anyone recommend great resources?

Thank you,
Kevin
