Ive been studying with multiple materials such as princeton, arco, kaplan, OG, manhattan and other local publishers books.

I found that CR answers and logic used for deriving answers in each book differs ( or i might not have perceived clearly) and it makes me think whether studying RC and CR using multiple books enhance the performance or degrade the performance?

Regards
Arun

My opinion is that it depends on when you do the problems from each. I started with PR materials then went to Kaplan, Veritas and finally OG materials. Once I had started working the OG problems and became familiar with the way the test writers "think" I definitely 100% noticed a difference between OG verbal and all other verbal materials. This was particularly the case with the 1000 series questions.

To answer your question, I think it is actually dangerous to use certain materials after the OG because once you become familiar with OG, you should notice your mind shifting to "think" like a test writer, but some other materials have the opposite effect. I avoided the 1000 materials like the plague after I realized this.
