I watched @GMATNinja's video on reading comprehension (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK8DBDBfDDM). I was debating if I need to purchase the Official Guide just on Verbal. I have done all of the verbal questions about twice in the regulator Official Guide, and I was told by a GMAT instructor that I should not need any additional materials beyond just the Official Guide (specifically was told to keep reviewing questions you did). With this, I am a bit concerned that I have not purchased the GMAT's official book on verbal/may be missing valuable practice material.
In GMATninja's video above, he mentions LSAT materials. I have a few LSAT books from my brother. Should I just try practicing reading comprehension in there first, or should I only use the LSAT materials once I have exhausted the Official Guide AND the Official Guide on Verbal?
Basically, not sure if should spend money on more prep materials or focus on what I have
Thank you!

Hi woohoo921.
To a large degree, the answer to your question depends on how close you are to your verbal score goal. If you are scoring close to your score goal on practice tests, then you may not need to go beyond using the resources you already have. If you need a lot more practice, then certainly you can use the LSAT books for Reading Comprehension practice since the LSAT RC passages and questions are pretty good for practicing for the GMAT. However, in such a case it may also make sense to get the online version of the Guide for Verbal Review and use the question bank.

Do you think you need more practice questions? You can include LSAT material in your prep plans, but I recommend you also keep a set of official GMAT practice questions for when you get closer to your exam, because solving only official LSAT questions during the last 1-2 weeks/last few days of your prep isn't ideal.
