Practice is the most effective solution...

Understanding the passage and making short notes as you read along will be a great help...

but keep practising

remember , there is a very good chance the first 10-15 questions might have a lot of reading comprehension...so if you dont get the initial RC's right...you might not get to the really hard questions in SC's and RC's.

even though i have taken my GMAT , i still read the WSJ daily for atleast half an hour...it keeps me in touch with the news and with good written english.

hope this helps
good luck

OG is obviously the best.

then i bought the two LSAT books..and practiced a lot with the RC's in those.. Read some fiction books...some non fiction...i read the WSJ editorials a lot.

i am confident that if you do LSAT RC's , you will be much better prepared. and of course , you can take powerprep later and see how you do on the RC's there.

good luck
