For RC, there are not a whole lot of resources available. Here is a quick overview from an old-timer:
1. Manhattan GMAT RC (the only dedicated book) - in contrast to other MGMAT Guides, it does not rely solely on OG 12, but has its own questions/passages. It does include a recommended practice list from OG.
2. PowerScore Verbal Bible - contains a section on RC
3. Kaplan Premiere - contains a section on RC (I used this approach)
4. LSAT RC - this is really HARD and is used very rarely, but I thought I'd give you a full picture
5. GMAT Fiction
There were a couple of other less known sources, which I have omitted.

Snipertrader and BB,
Thankyou for providing some inputs of the RC preparation. One thing that I noticed is that when you read the passage understanding it clearly, it is easy to do the questions with confident(ofcourse there are possibilites that I am picking the wrong choice but still picking up the ans coice with confidence) . I tried skimming thru the passage, and when I start working on the questions, I still have to spend time reading the passage and this is consuming hell lot of a time. So I decided I will go for concept of "Active reading of the passage" rather than "skimming thru the passage".
Yesterday, I didn't do any preparation......Not good. At this stage, I cannot afford to wast my days not preparing for the exam. Last couple of days were bit if tiring days both at work and at home, that showed the impact yesterday. I will have make sure I don't get into this situation until I fight my GMAT.
This weekend is going to way too busy....Need to complete atlesat 4 chapters in MGMAT - SC and then take up one MGMAT Cat 1/6 exams. Let me see how things go.......

For RC, you definitely need to pysche yourself up before reading a passage. During the actual GMAT I got two incredibly boring passages in a row about womens' rights. So, before the first passage I thought to myself, "Sweet! Women's rights... would be a good topic to learn about in case I ever date a feminist 
." Before the second passage I said to myself, "Sweet! Another women's rights passage... I'm already familiar with women's rights and let's see what this one has to say."
No matter what the passage is you should always be excited to read it. I think reading the Economist and briefly summarizing articles is helpful. Another RC tip is to just really concentrate during the questions section. I found that I often understood the passage but still got the questions wrong. By focusing in on the questions and really reading word-for-word when I was directed to a particular point of a passage in a question I really increased my hit rate on questions. RC just comes with practice and it can definitely be improved.

. Infact for me there were around 10 min time by the time I completed quant. So I think I rather double check my ans if I am well with in my timelimit.
