Hey Eric,

I have this "Kaplan 2006 CD Companion" thingie, Would you have any idea what the standard of its RC is ? Because I am finding it really easy.

I'm not familiar with the companion CD--is this one one that also contains the practice tests? The RCs on the practice tests I recall were really hard, so maybe this is another thing?

Or maybe you're just a natural when it comes to RC. :)

Yeah it has these practice tests for individual sections as well as 4 full length tests.

Oh and thanks for the info. :)

I am so glad to have found this. The Kaplan RC passages are L-O-N-G and the questions are designed very well. I feel confused on every one of them. I was practicing with the companion CD that came wtih my Kaplan 2009 GMAT book. Again, I'm happy to know that Kaplan is much tougher than the real thing.
