Thanks!.
MGMAT SC books are just great and are considered to be sacred in the GMAT world, but I wouldn't say the same for their RC books. Personally, I found that their too-much-emphasis on note taking is an overkill (at least in my situation it is) for the RC section. I found the gmatprepnow strategy to be very useful and helped me raise my accuracy from <50% to around 80+%.
And as far as practice materials go you could try: OG and anything from gmac + LSAT RC material

Regards,
Vivek.

For SC - MGMAT is the best.
For CR - Do either PowerScore or MGMAT.
For RC - MGMAT is ok.

Manhattan GMAT Sentence Correction, Powerscore CR, for RC, you don't even need a book after the OG, you need a STRATEGY! :-) There's plenty of passages and questions online for RC, and no book is really thorough enough, IMO.

For RC, you might want to check this out: https://learni.st/users/60/boards/41432- ... nd-for-all
