Would recommend you take notes (nobody can read that stuff for longer) - note-taking helps.
If you have covered the MGMAT CR book, the PowerScore CR is not much use.... maybe something to browse and look through questions but won't teach you too many new tricks. Just my 2 cents

Thanks bmillan01.

A small update. I do own CR Powerscore Bible now. One of my friends who got into Maryland had a free copy.

Do you think I should read it after I am done with three MGMAT's?

I know I have around 1.5 month but I am a slow reader. It took me 2 months to finish the quant books!!! I really can't read for more than 40 minutes because I get distracted.
I wonder how much it will take me to read the Verbal books.


Lucky you! And thanks for the kudos! :)

If you haven't already started any of the verbal guides, then go ahead with the Powerscore CR Bible. However, if you're already studying with the Manhattan CR guide, save the Powerscore version as a backup; if you're still weak after completing the Manhattan CR, then use Powerscore CR. You could also use the CR Bible for reviewing specific sections, as bb suggested.

Don't wait until you finish all three verbal guides to start question practice. Do the recommended questions in the Manhattan books alongside studying. When you finish each book, finish off any remaining OG questions that correspond to that book. Move on to the next guide during this time too.

The SuperPrep's main benefit comes from the RC, I think. Once you've finished the verbal questions in the OG books, practice with the SuperPrep.
