Magazines having GMAT-like articles

[cricketsteve5]

Hello All,

I am pretty weak in comprehending abstract Science/Literature(about some author,his life etc)/History passages. Could anyone of you let me know whether there is any site or specific magazine that has GMAT-like articles.

Thanks for reading my message I hope I have posted in the right forum, if not,sorry about the confusion.

Regards,

Hey Cricketsteve5 -- not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, however the daily newspapers like the Washington Post and the NY Times have excellent articles that can help improve general English skills. We see sentences in them all the time that would qualify for a sentence correction problem on the GMAT!! That's not quite the same thing as RC but perhaps it will be useful?

https://www.washingtonpost.com
https://www.nytimes.com

UK magazines too like Financial Times or BBC, though remember that the British do grammar differently than the Americans (and the GMAT tends to favor American styles).

In terms of more traditional RC - dunno - maybe wikipedia???

By the way, I realized -also read some comments- that there are some grammar errors in the articles both in NYT and SA. Thus, do not try to focus too much on the grammar, the main aim is understanding the whole picture and not the details.

That's a really good point, edirik - in fact, sometimes we make GMAT-like practice problems out of them! See https://www.beatthegmat.com/post435068.html

Another very helpful resource on grammar is actually the NYTimes own "After Deadline" column, where the editors present mistakes they had published in their own paper! Here's one from October that we thought was excellent: https://topics.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10 ... trouble-3/ Just keep in mind that some of their "mistakes" are specific to the NYTimes Style Guide, which is usually identical to what the GMAT test would cover but they are not guaranteed to be 100% identical.
