Is OG/Verbal Review enough? 08 Sep 2010, 17:22

Hey all,

I'm wondering if doing the RC questions in OG12 and Verbal Review 2nd is enough practice to attack 700-level questions. I've completed all OG12 and a few V2 passages and have hit an 87% accuracy rate according to my error log.

Are those passages considered representative of current RC on the GMAT?

This should be enough but if you have more time to prepare, then work on LSAT problems and near your exam revise OG's again.

I think OG has very few 700 level questions. Many suggest solving verbal from here(GmatClub)...

Ya it is too bad that the OG does not provide difficulty level.

Are there many 700-level questions in the 1000 RC document?

1000 docs are illegal documents and should not be discussed here. Please respect the GMAC authority.

If you are looking for hard RC, try LSAT RC and CR. If you are able to crack them , gmat RC will be a cake walk for you.

Regarding the revision of OG' it all depends upon the time you have for the preparation. If I were you, I would have revised all the passages marked by me as 'difficult' and the last 50-60 questions.

There are Gmatclub's Guides to OG's with the difficulty level. Search them and it will be of great help.

ya LSAT are considered the toughest of them all, but dont stress yourself if you do not get the right answers, find out why they are wrong and understand how the author tries to convince you into choosing the wrong answer. This will be helpful!
