I am a week or two away from moving into my verbal section preparations. Out of three sections on the verbal I am the weakest in RC. I have MGMAT guides. What else can I buy/do to address my weakness in RC??? I am sceptical about Power Score RC for the LSAT. Mainly because they are LSAT prep company first and all the other products are their by-products (that overlap with what being tested on the LSAT). I would think that if LSAT and GMAT RC sections were similar they would have a separate guide for GMAT RC like they do with CR.

RC was an area of weakness for me as well. The book that really helped me turn the corner was the Veritas Prep RC guide. Try to see if you can find someone that will sell it to you. Its a great book. If you can't find the book individually though, and if you don't want to buy their book set, I guess you should just go with the Manhattan Guide. It didn't really help me though, maybe you will get more out of it.

Its good to be skeptical with some materials, but after going to through some of the LSAT reading quesstions, and seeing quite a few high scorers use the LSAT tests to improve their RC (check out I just beat the gmat forum) I think that skepticism probably isn't warranted.

"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."
