Is there still room to improve on CR/RC, or am I at the point of diminishing returns?

Question

Went through all the OG Guide questions, got 130/139 on reading comprehension questions and 114/124 on critical reasoning. Auditing my mistakes, aside from a few questions where I could have improved my chances by reading a bit more carefully, for several of the mistakes I was choosing between two answers and I'm not sure studying more will improve my answers in such situations. While there are only so many different types of quant questions, at some point with verbal it seems no matter how strong you are it seems impossible to get everything right. Anyone have experience on whether there's still room for improvement, or the best way to study going forward? Anyone have advice or experience something similar?

Answer 1

There are many ways to get additional trustworthy material: earlier editions of the GMAT OG; the Manhattan Prep book (theirs is excellent in the Verbal area); even trying some LSAT material. But unless you can improve the *way* you tackle the long and short passages, and the way you tackle the questions of course, you are unlikely to move the needle in terms of performance. Sheer practice won't do it. More thoughtful review can do it.
