It's obvious i'm desperate. I've come to realize that logic is important when it comes to this exam. i've been a little lazy reading the logic book i got from amazon. I took a look at Powerscore's LRB and i thought it is a better choice than the logic text simply because it teaches how to take tests.
Today, i went down to UB to borrow their RCB. I was a little surprised they didn't have it on reserve. CCBC has the LRB on their reference shelves so you can't even check it out. Anyway, i read through the RCB and i like it. I've only done a little over 20 pages but so far, i feel like it's the best of EK verbal along with the Ivy Hall verbal mastery. EK offers strategies which i find here but explained more in detail in a way that i like. Ivy Hall goes into question types and tells you to read and all that but the RCB offers that and something more. It actually offers practice.
Plus it includes stuff from myreading lab. So far, it's talked about transitional phrases, active reading and context clues for meanings. I think this is the best of everything.
So, i'll use this for the rest of december, do their passage type training and see how i do when i start TPR tests. Must i add that i think i'm reading a little faster now and i'm vocalizing less. I'll post an update on how i'm doing later.
