Hi Hatakekakashi,
While there are some Test Takers and Experts who believe that using LSAT materials during their studies is a good idea, I am NOT one of them. While LSAT LR has a lot in common with GMAT CR (and LSAT RC has a lot in common with GMAT RC), there are enough differences to make those LSAT resources less than ideal. To start, the LSAT includes a wider range of question types and 'design logic' than the GMAT does, so you'd be learning/practicing ideas that you will NOT face on the Official GMAT. To be clear, that doesn't necessarily mean that LSAT LR/RC is 'harder' - you'll just be wasting your time on concepts that you won't be tested on during the GMAT. In addition, most LSAT prompts are presented in print (and you can solve them with pencil-and-paper) - NEITHER of those aspects is realistic relative to how you have to deal with the Official GMAT. Finally, there are plenty of useful GMAT resources to be had, so there's no good reason to be using LSAT resources during your GMAT studies.
1) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
2) What is your goal score?
3) When are you planning to take the GMAT?

Hi Rich,
Thanks for the quick response and I had no idea about the insights you have provided regarding the LSAT material. All i have heard was practice LSAT material which is tougher than the GMAT material and you will sail through GMAT CR/RC.
I have already taken the GMAT and my score is as follows - 710 ( QA 49 VA 36 IR-7 AWA - 6) . I am from India which is a demography of pretty high GMAT scores and my academics are as follows
10 - 75%
12 - 87%
UG - 69
On the account of such poor academics , i took a call and i have booked a slot in the month of May and i am about to start my preparation.
My goal score is 740 (QA 50 VA 40) . Ideally any score above 710 would do because on paper a 720 is better than a 710 and owing to my poor academics i think i can nullify the effect of poor academics to an extent with a higher GMAT score. Not a Guarantee but worth giving it a shot.
Materials used - PowerScore Bible , Egmat Verbal , Manhattan SC/RC
Materials Purchased for Retake - Aristotle Wiley - SC/CR/RC and Manhattan CR
I wish to utilise these materials in an effective way and get a better score. I know the material here is pretty good enough , but as any student the more the merrier. I don't know how the LSAT will help me but please do give your insights as to how to approach in reaching that desired score and should i skip the LSAT material and solely focus on what i have
