Outside reading material for RC.

jyang72

Hi Everyone
I finally score 20+ in RC recently but I am sure I still need to keep my diligence up. I am reading the Economist, the scientific americans,and supreme court argument. However, I think passages in scientific american are too short compared to RC passages. I love the Economist but they only have a few science passages. Does anyone try other outside sources for RC? Thank you!!

Just pick up the Cambridge packets if you can and read RC passages! Reading RC is the best reading practice for RC.

From my experience, the thing that helped my RC most is RC passages. Similar to the weight lifting mantra "if you want to lift more, you have to lift more", it stands to reason the best way to improve RC is by reading RC passages. While the magazines may help your overall reading ability, I feel as though none of them will prepare you for the RC section as well as past RC passages would.

@"GSU Hopeful" Thank you for your advice. I just printed a big load of oldie RC passages.

What's been said here is correct.

A breadth of subject matter familiarity is helpful too: http://aeon.co/magazine/
