Hi,

For CR, I used the basic books (PR, Kaplan 2008) and then added two great books: Kaplan800 and MGMAT SC.

Another thing that helped me a lot was to really get into thinking critically in everyday life. When I read an article for example, I tried to find errors and to correct them. I read a lot of magazines in English, mostly economy and business magazines (WSJ, FT, etc.) I am not a native English speaker, and reading helped me a lot to improve SC and RC.
