So I already did EK101 verbal and am deciding on whether to do TPRH verbal or TBR verbal next. My test day is Sep 12. Which book would you guys recommend?
TPRH verbal = EK 101 >> TBR verbal >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kaplan verbal (that's how I see it personally).So I already did EK101 verbal and am deciding on whether to do TPRH verbal or TBR verbal next. My test day is Sep 12. Which book would you guys recommend?
TBR, I found, is very "meh" at best. There's a lot of problems associated with it, whether it's ridiculously long passages, over-the-top questions, or horrible answers given from the book. That being said, I think its difficulty gives you some sort of "confidence" going in since you will have already dealt with the "worst."
However, I'm curious as to how you guys think of TPRH vs. EK? @Dreamstoo - you said that these two are essentially equivalent, but are they really that equal? I took the first three practice passages for EK today, and some of the answers they gave were god awful (I believe one answer said that if an answer used the word "sometimes" instead of "not as often," then it would have been the right answer). The passages seem easier, but the questions seem harder for EK, whereas the passages seem harder and questions easier for TPRH. Despite this, I honestly think that TPRH is better just because of its better answer explanations compared to EK
