Thanks alot Kevin for the video.

I have a few concerns regarding my performance with the RC section of the gmat.
Having attempted 3-4 of mock CATs .. the common problem I faced was with the RC section. I end up answering many RC question wrong and to make matter worse the wrong answers are clustered.

I followed a strategy in which I hardly took any notes while attacking/reading the passage. Hence was unable to retain much of the information, that hurts more so in a long passage.

Now I have started taking notes down while I read the passage. This strategy does help as I am retaining more information and as I have to take down notes, I brain is pushed to engage more with the passage. But the concern with this strategy is I have not mastered it in terms of time and I am taking a bit more time than what I should. I have my GMAT on 17th Sept 2014.

Could you please help how can I master this. I have already covered OG and Verbal 2nd edition before, for mastering this strategy i need some more practice. So, please suggest some source with good passages.

Thanks

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
