Hey,

I am using the kaplan premier addition book right now. I have finished the princeton review already. I just finished doing the CR chapter. What can I do to improve ?

My success rate in CR on average stays at 50%. What can I do to improve ? Do you think more practice will be of any help or am I just not understanding the concept the right way?.... If that is so, which place / book/ method would be the best to get my success rate up?


Hi Atult718:

Have you been tracking your errors during your practice? What kind of patterns are you noticing?

To me, it seems like the best thing you can do with CR at this point is identify your weakenesses. Also, do some experimentation with how you attack CR questions--there are some good resources for this available on the GMAT Resource Wiki: http://www.beatthegmat.com/wiki/

Lastly, be sure to focus your CR practice using the OG book. It's always best to practice on real GMAT questions.

Best of luck!
