CR strategy

by vaivish » Wed Mar 24, 2010 10:26 am
Hi,

I want to find out my current performance levels in CR. I have read Powerscore CR Bible and understood most of the concepts. I am practicing LSAT CR, 1000CR, GMAT CR (this is a part of LSAT) and OG. When I solve CR problems from OG, GMAT CR, 1000CR the accuracy is fine i.e.85-90% but when I shift to LSAT CR the accuracy come drops to 65-70%.
Can somebody please tell me whether I have worry about this state of preparation or just keep working on the CR problems which are more close to actual GMAT such as OG, 1000CR and say on the forum. Further, please also mention should I continue solving from LSAT CR or only stick to more traditional sources as OG, 1000CR, gmat prep questions, and forum participation.

Please respond. Thanks in advance.

Make sure you exhaust official resouces first: do LSAT only if you have time after thoroughly reviewing all the official questions you got wrong or got right without being 99% sure of your answer

Hello Kevin,

Do you agree with the following approach ?

First I start with the CRs from the OG verbal, then I move to the LSAT's, which is harder. After facing a "tough marathon" with the LSAT CRs, I can finish with the CRs from OG12, which is supposedly easier then the LSATs.

Thanks,

If you have time to do all of that well, go for it. Just don't scrimp on time reviewing GMATPrep CR questions.

Thanks for all the replies. I think i have now formulated my strategy. First cover all the OG 10/11/12 questions and then move to LSAT. I hope people agree with this approach. Please suggest in case any improvement is required.
