GMAT Reading Comprehension (Manhattan Prep GMAT Strategy Guides)

My biggest pain in any competitive exam I take is the reading comprehension section. It usually slowed me down as I read the paragraphs multiple times. This book was highly recommended in many GMAT forums and I decided to give it a shot based on the reviews here as well. This book helped address some of my issues. I admit that I did not have the time to go through all of the material before my exam but the first couple of chapters were good enough to help me significantly. The added bonus is that you get to take 6 free practice exams (the same set of exams are given regardless of the book you purchase). Manhattan Prep's exams are much harder than any of the other ones out there and also harder than the real exam. However, I really liked that it was that hard. I wanted to give up at certain times but it helped push me and keep an eye on the time. This along with their sentence correction book would be an invaluable reference to anyone taking the GMAT.

Like most other Manhattan material this show techniques to summarize passages and how to avoid traps.However, the questions are too few in number. Also I was reading from the kindle version and it's quite difficult to use. The RC passages are shown as images and you need to have a pretty good memory or notes. Otherwise you'll end up flipping back and forth between pages. Also the paper Manhattan books show which questions to practice from the official guide. But this ebook doesn't.I am waiting for my powerscore RC to arrive.

Love it! The Official GMAT Guide does not go through this detail on cracking these problems although the Official GMAT Guide is good for actual problems that are more indicative of the difficulty you will find on the exam.Princeton Review is also pretty good.

The reading comprehension questions often are deemed by students as something that should come naturally. This book however proves there are formulaic ways to crack the code of RCs even reading doesn't come naturally to you.

Read the whole book but felt like the content delivered is little... I am hungry for a guide on reading comprehension but feel that I could only take away like three points from this book. Any other recommendation of reading comprehension books for gmat???The seller is however fast in sending the books and the books are of good quality.

Its give you nice strategy to approach RC passages. Not much examples to practice.

I bought new copies of these books but received old ones with a lot of writings on many of the pages.

I paid for new, but I received used! Very bed experience.
