To master the social science passages on tests such as the GRE and GMAT, developing strong reading habits is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of test-takers consider the social sciences to be the more \u201cabstract\u201d topics. An exploration of renaissance paintings? A discussion of philosophical theories that compare one way of society with another? Not your everyday reading by any means! However, such reading comprehension passages are as likely to appear in the GMAT and the GRE, if not more, as any other passage on a more \u201cinteresting\u201d scientific discovery or managerial practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This recommended reading list has curated articles that allow you to immerse yourself in diverse materials and offer organized insights that resemble the structure of exam passages. This expands your knowledge base while honing your reading comprehension skills. Moreover, the articles are followed by a representative RC practice question. These questions offer valuable practice and closely mirror the types you&#8217;ll encounter on the GRE and GMAT. Use the summary of the article that is provided in each post as a benchmark for understanding \u2013 compare your interpretation to see how well you&#8217;ve grasped the central themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, this list evolves!
