VERBAL:unanimous view?

by tejal777 Sat Apr 25, 2009 6:12 am

What additional material is to be used for raising verbal score?ESPECIALLY RC's
OG11:First preference definetly and then maybe OG verbal(which overlaps a bit)
3000 RC's I recall is NOT to be used as suggested by various people.
LSAT material:Now this is something which everyone has an opinion upon.Some say to saty away as the exam formats are diffrent while some say that it's great practise material.Can somebody please clarify?And if you have a positive opinion please be kind enough to name the book so we can go hunt for it.

Anybody has a last word on this?The problem remains:(

p.s:I am from India and for the CAT exam various RC's books(nice ones) are available.Highly recommended.But I somehow have this view that doing it from a book is different than reading RC's from a computer screen.Is this true?

You know, I've never found an RC book from another test that I've totally loved. I'd be interested to hear other perspectives on this. But again, I don't think that you really need new passages. Ultimately, there are actually enough passages in the two OGs for you to make significant improvement. This comes in two ways: first, building the proper habits/approach for reading the questions; and second, building an understanding of the individual question types and wrong answer patterns. That can be done via extensive review of the passages within the OG's themselves.
