I already have the MGMAT and although I found it helpful, I think it could be better. Or, perhaps I just rushed through it, I am not sure, but I'm thinking abou buying Power Score's SC bible.

What do guys think about it?

I haven't reviewed the PowerScore SC Bible myself yet, but I hear it's very good. PowerScore has a monster reputation in the LSAT world, which is heavily focused on verbal!

If you do purchase, please let us know how you like the book. Thanks!

Thanks, will do! I bought the Power score GMAT Critical Thinking Bible and the SC Bible.

I didn't know Power Score had such a good reputation in the so called LSAT world. That makes me feel much better about the purchase of both books. The breakdown of my real GMAT (first try about 2 weeks ago) was 560 overall, Q 42 and V 25 so I need a lot a practice.

For reading, I plan on using old LSAT tests for practice and reading more complex articles and editorials from the sources that have been recommended by other users on this forum (Economist, WSJ, etc.).

My test is in one month so I hope this strategy helps. I don't think my verbal level is necessarily at a 25 since on all other practice tests (GMAt prep, PR, MGMAT) I was getting well above 30 and a GMAT prep 41, but I definitely think I need the practice so on test day I don't loose confidence and panic.

BTW Thanks for creating this forum. I've found it very useful and inspiring!

Yes both are good books. They supplement each other very well. I have both and hence can speak to it with some confidence.

To improve CR questions you might try working some Logical Reasoning problems from the LSAT. These problems tend to be more difficult and often provide better practice.

I don't have the PowerScore SC Bible but I really liked their CR Bible. I have the MGMAT SC and I think it was difficult to get through - much more info than needed on the GMAT written in dense terms.
