There's way too much emphasis on how to take notes for Reading Comp (which I don't even think is a good strategy), but very little discussion about how to analyze answer choices. I feel like the real difficulty in GRE RC is not actually understanding the passages, it's understanding what the questions / answer choices mean. This book didn't help at all with that.

I also don't like that there were very few practice problems and no mixed sets.
