I took GMAT in September and I got 680 (Q50 + V30). I applied to an E-MBA program and got rejected. Now, I decided to take the exam by the end of April. I took the official GMAT practice tests and I got 670 (Q49 + V30) and 690 (Q50 + V31) In verbal section, I have very little problem in SC. My biggest problem is in CR and RC. Out 27/28 questions combined in a practice test, I usually get no more than 15 questions correct. I have no timing issues in verbal. Now, with 3 months of time, I want to improve my verbal score to 40+ by concentrating more on CR & RC. Somebody on this forum suggested LSAT guides for RC. What is the best way to achieve this? Please advise.

Actually, it's pretty easy - the answers are inside the document. You just need to find "Show/hide" icon in your Word. When you press the icon answer is shown next to the question. If you press it again, answers will be hidden again.

I have heard of these on several occasions.

Does anyone know who wrote these questions? Are they really like REAL gmat questions?

Many of them are from OG. I went through 700SC, read forum threads, and found only two real OA mistakes (both questions were from OG). Moreover, my performance in SC1000 was very close to performance in OG.

Wait, so are some CR1000, SC1000, RC1000 questions from OG? There's overlap? I'm confused.

Go for authorized resources for your preparation.
I heard CR1000 or SC1000 contain many errors 8-)
