What books are using for your verbal prep?

I recommend using Manhattan study guides for SC and RC. For CR pls use powerscore CR bible.

Hope this helps.

Thnx Gaurav

Your verbal range indicates you should focus more attention on "understanding" than "practice"... then back to practice, practice.

CR:
- ID all question types
- Develop short strategies for each question type
(e.g. assumption,strenghten/weaken, flaw = find conclusion. find gap)

RC:
- Focus on structure of passage
- How each paragraph/section contributes to point
- Personal reading speed (not too fast/not too slow)
(I'm still working on the last point -- naturally a slow reader...)

SC:
- Subject-verb-agreement
- GMAT idioms (MGMAT lists most of them)

I second gaurav081's suggestions: Powerscore CR Bible and MGMAT SC Guide.
> MGMAT RC Guide is good, but I'd supplement it with other resources.

Good Luck :-)
