Are LSAT (Official) CR questions worth practicing from GMAT POV

Question

I see some of CR questions from Source = { 1000 Series, LSAT (Official) } are little different than the standard GMAT CR question types.

Ex:

Is it worth practicing these type of questions for GMAT? 
(Might be a stupid question)

On a side note, if you've run out of Official Guide Questions, check out the Online only question banks (if you haven't already).

Hi  Roy867 ,

There are different opinions on this, but I'd say yes, LSAT questions can be useful. There may be technical differences, but LSAT questions can help develop the skills we need for the GMAT. That said, it's always better to prioritize official questions, and we should not consider our performance on non-GMAT questions to be representative.

The LSAT has questions that are similar to GMAT questions, and it also has questions that would never appear in the GMAT.

But LSAT questions are good, good for developing and practising reasoning skills. And the skills are transferable to other exams and other question types.

This is similar to what happens in Reading Comprehension. Someone who reads a lot of literature (of the right type) will have an edge in GMAT RC, even though GMAT RC never features extracts from novels or short stories.

Much of what you need to accomplish to master GMAT verbal is to become accustomed to analyzing verbal questions choice by choice and seeing what's going on in the questions. So, even though LSAT questions can be a bit different from GMAT verbal question, you can develop your overall verbal skills by using LSAT questions.

That said, if the reason you're asking about LSAT questions is that you've run out of GMAT verbal questions to practice with, you may be going through verbal practice questions too fast. To maximize the results you get from your verbal prep, you should spend a fair amount of time on each choice of each question, and if you use the questions in that manner, you get a lot more out of each question and don't need as many practice questions.

In fact, it's likely that you could learn a lot and develop your skills by going back and analyzing GMAT verbal questions you've already answered. The fact that you already know the correct answers doesn't keep you from learning by analyzing the choices to see exactly what makes them incorrect or correct.
