Used LSAT CR to improve GMAT CR?

need some expert help pls !!!

I don't have any specific advice on those two books, but in general, I would recommend looking for 2 things in any LSAT prep book you choose: official licensed material and good explanations. Since the LSAC has released approximately 60 preptests, there is NO reason to compromise with "mock" questions written by a test-prep company. However, LSAC explanations have a reputation for being somewhat skimpy, so it might be worthwhile to find a book or online resource that pairs licensed questions with coherent, thorough explanations. There are extensive reviews on Amazon.com of many, many LSAT prep resources; search for the books in which you're interested and see what other users have to say about them!

I would definitely recommend the official LSAT superprep over the other book. The official LSAT superprep will contain questions designed by an official test-maker--this is priceless. Furthermore, "Cracking the LSAT" sounds more like a strategy guide so there won't be nearly as many questions in it. Disclaimer: I am completely unfamiliar with "Cracking the LSAT".

But you said to me that LSAT tests FORMAL LOGIC such as contrapositive (if A then B, if not B then not A) while GMAT dose not test formal logic. why can I use LSAT book for GMAT study?

?????????

I think we can use Princeton, Kaplan and GMAT Critical Reasoning Bible for GMAT Critical Reasoning. That is all we need to read even to get 700+

Out of those 2 books, I would recommend LSAT superprep. I still think official GMAT questions are the best kind to practice on.

The problem is that there are not many GMAT questions in OG. I need new questions for practice because restudy of old question in OG make us biased when we choose correct answer.

where to find good and new GMAT Questions for CR

This problem is fatal for READING SECTION. Rereading old passages from OG destroys reading capacity of students. Where to find GMAT like passages with questions to practice.

yes duongthang.. this is precisely the problem i faced. once you solve a CR or an RC question (passage), you can recall it easily /with some bias the next time you see it.
i have some LSAT sets which i can share with you if you are also facing the same predicament as me.
am practising CR and RC from these. pls PM me if you need.

Cheers,
Pd
