Hi guys,
On the last weekend I bought OG Verbal Guide and have attempted all 300 questions in the OG verbal in last 3-4 days.
The success rate has been following:
OG SC: 94% correct
OG CR: 97%
OG RC: 91%
This is really encouraging and I am happy that I had only 10-12 wrong answers out of 300 OG questions. I should be looking at 40+ verbal score for sure now.
One useful note on Reading Comprehension:
Of all theree verbal sections, I hated the RC most and I avoided practicing RC question as much as I could and then I changed my approach by realizing that one RC paragraph has 3-7 questions (an average of 4) and one RC paragraph can also be looked at as 4 CR question combined into 1 passage and more importantly the reasoning ability required to answer RC questions is not 50% of what it is for individual CR questions. With this important realization, RC has started looking way too easy compared to other two sections and I have actually started saving more time in RC than in CR and SC.
Just try looking at RC passages as 4-5 CR questions combined together with 2-3 question so ridiculously easy that you just have to pick information from the paragraph itself.
Hope this helps

Totally agree. RC's are usually very easy.

Really?? I thought RC was the most challenging part for most of us normal test takers. You must be a 780+ aspirant if RC is too easy for you.
