Hi GMAT Club-
TLDR: Are hard RC Qs in the OG representative of the hard Qs on the test? If i am achievning a high accuracy on these-should I practice with LSAT material (/any other) to prepare me for the harder questions on the actual GMAT?
I am scoring ~85%+ on hard OG RC questrions. My ESR from the last time I gave the GMAT says that I scored in the 92nd percentile on RC (ofc ESR numbers are based on a small sample of Qs).
I am reattempting to improve my score on other sections to get a 700+, but dont want to disregard RC prep.
My question is there value in spending time on LSAT RC given that I seem to be doing okay on
Hard RC Qs from the OG? Does the OG prep prepare me for the the kind of hard Qs I will see on the GMAT?
Most posts that reccomend LSAT seem to suggest it if one runs out of OG hard Qs or if one is lookign for better explanations than the ones in the OG. Please note that these are not my concerns at the moment. I am simply evaluating if an 85%+ accuracy on Hard OG RC Qs put me in good stead for hard RC Qs on the actual GMAT exam, or do I need reinforcments still (LSAT or any other)?
Thank you so much! May the force be with us all

To me, the problem is evaluated from the wrong perspective.
The strategies and techniques for tackling the RC passages on the GMAT are always the same, and there are a few.
It is sufficient to say that, ideally, the only passages you need to master the RC passages for the GMAT are those in ONE single OG.
Why ?
1) The passages ven though are difficult they do not need outside knowledge by you to understand. All you need is written in the passage
2) We have two main categories of questions: main idea and inference questions.
If you read carefully and deeply understand the passage, you should not need millions of them.
Perhaps is useful the following guide https://gmatclub.com/forum/shorter-gre- ... 28538.html
Good luck

Hi MoulikaSaxena,
1. Yes. Just keep in mind though, that "hard" is a pretty big group, so not all hard RCs are equally hard.
2. No, you don't need to do LSAT material.
Finally, remember that looking at accuracy on a bunch of questions is never going to give you an accurate estimate of your current ability level. For that you should take one of the official practice tests.
