Most of you will buy this book as a part of the bundle. If you did not use the MGMAT Bundle, I recommend this book despite some of the shortcomings listed below. And even if you own the 5th edition, this book is worth buying.**** PROS ****1. I found good examples how to take notes - that's helpful and what takeaways to jot down along with some short hand examples (it is helpful to learn short hand)2. New exercises, passages, and examples added (not all but I would say at least 30% of practice content is new, and potentially more)3. It seems the RC approaches/strategies have been simplified focusing on getting the most important things right - the 80% rule, which is a welcome improvement4. Good selection of Scope questions though there is no dedicated chapter/section on scope (perhaps I missed it?)**** CONS ****1. Fewer passages and questions. I found only 21 passages and 40 questions2. The book never really stops to show a nice diagram of the RC question attack process - similarly to how SC book has it. That is the crown jewel and would be very helpful to use as a guide. I felt the book just threw me into the RC without easing into it (I felt the SC book did a better job of easing into the SC). This is a relatively minor grievance but it would be helpful to have a central reference point3. Found some typos already (Page 18 has #6 instead of #2 and Page 23 has a different word in the answer explanation). Again, these are minor and every book out there has them so I would not fixate on this fact too much.**** Takeaway: if you have 5th edition and need extra help with RC, buy the 6th edition MGMAT RC book. It will be worth a new fresh look... esp since the RC options are meager.
