I have been working diligently to fix all mistakes errors on reading comprehension. Manhattan GMAT worked well for me and it helped me understand how to choose the right answers. My question is I have been doing the official guide questions and want to keep studying in order to stay fresh. however, I am starting to remember the question and it is no longer new information to me. What should I do? I want to study from actual questions and have actual explanations for them. what to do?

Appetite for 700 and I scraped my plate!

RC practice

If you have exhausted the OG questions, you could always download GMATPrep for 'actual' questions.

Additionally, you could buy a bunch of used study books from half.com. I recommend Kaplan -- 2003-2005 versions are fine, and can be purchased for $1 plus shipping.

In my opinion the Kaplan RC explanations are outstanding, but Princeton books are also available for cheap on half.com.

Are you sure that the old editions have different RC passages?

We can work on LSAT packages to improve comprehension, but the passages are generally large, unlike GMAT passages and are difficult as well. How about the GRE passages? Any one tried them?

Thanks

"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."
