Guys,
I finished one reading (and practicing the drills) from Kaplan in one week and took the diagnostic test. Here are my score details:
Math: Correct 21; Incorrect:4; Not reached: 0 - Scaled Score - 42
Verbal: Correct 17; Incorrect:3; Not reached: 7 (That was a jumbo dumbo - I thought, putting the system into hibernate mode would stop the test software program and thus would stop the clock
) - Scaled Score - 35
Overall: 630 (90 Percentile)
Then I worked on excercies provided on the Kaplan CD (I worked 2 excerices for each of SC, CR and RC) for a week and took the Kaplan CAT Test - I. Here are the scores:
Math: Correct:29; Incorrect:8; Not reached: 0 - Scaled Score - 50
Verbal: Correct: 22; Incorrect:19; Not Reached: 0; Scaled Score - 29
Overall 600 (75 Percentile)
I am really struggling with RC. Any suggestions on strategies for preparation on RC ?
GMAT gurus, your inputs on this will be of great help to me. I might not be able to buy a drink for you but surely can give you tons of thanks.

Don't use Kaplan to predict your scores...they're off the mark. It's good practice but just use it for the practice. Have you taken any official practice tests yet? Those and the PR tests are much better indicators.
Also, for RC, use Princeton Review. Much more like the real thing.

Nickelback, your post makes me feel a bit better. Kaplan kicked my butt in the first practice test I took (560!), after I really felt I was making progress. The math was sort of what I expected - a little more difficult than PR or GMATPrep. But the Verbal...wow! It seemed very different from other practice tests, and not necessarily harder, but different. I found the RC passages to be especially hard, and the content almost ridiculous. I did terribly on RC when my hit rate has been around 85%.
Are the paper tests worth taking as well from Pearson VUE? Seems like I would like to get my hands on any tests that will be most representative of the real thing at this point.
