are the 1000 SC and 1000 RC series any good?

[Claret]

Can somebody confirm whether the 1000 RC and SC series reflect gmat-styled questions?
I have exhausted the material in all OGs, Kaplan 800,Kaplan Premier , Princeton etc and hence looking for a good source of questions for the verbal session.

thanks for the reply DanaJ !

so the discussion in the link suggests that the quality of the 1000 series questionable..

Can you suggest me some reliable source, given that i am done with the materials stated above?

[DanaJ]

How about Manhattan and Powerscore? They're highly recommended, MGMAT for its SC guide and Powerscore for the CR Bible...

[Claret]

The books are excellent from content and concept building point of view.. But the SC guide does not contain any questions, and the powerscore CR contains only a handful of them..

Well, I used largely the same practice questions as you did (except for Princeton - didn't use that one) and felt it was about as good as it gets. Have you also tried reviewing your first sets of problems? If it's been a while, they might not be as fresh.
I really don't know of any other reputable sources, except for those provided by test prep companies in their question banks (I know Kaplan has one and so does Knewton; not so sure if MGMAT has one). Maybe someone else around here can help you, though.

I would like to add one point here. The 1000 series have some very good ques. The questionable part is the answers. Well if you can find some help (like a tutor or our btg experts) who can explain the answers, then they might be good for practice.
