Critical Reasoning Bible Question

by hoyasj » Wed Feb 08, 2012 8:13 pm
Hi. I have about 2 and a half weeks left until my GMAT test date. I own the Critical Reasoning Bible, but I haven't used it yet / haven't really even studied for the verbal section besides using the manhattan sentence correction book. I've taken 3 practice tests (GMAT Prep 1 and 2 Manhattan CATs)and on the verbal section, I've scored a 46, 44, and 45 on them, respectively. On each of them, I am still getting about 3 or so 700-800 level CR questions wrong (in addition to a few SC and RC questions). So, my question is whether it is worth my time to go through the CR Bible? Would it help me significantly on these 700-800 level difficult questions, or does it pretty much just focus on the basics which I probably already have down? Overall, I'm going to be spending most of the rest of my study time on Quant and sentence correction because I feel like I can get the most return out of that study, but I also could find some time to go through the CR bible if it in fact would be helpful. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Its better to avoid CR bible at the last moment. Have a look at the wrong questions you made and find out in which type of questions you make more mistakes as in it might be strengthen, weaken, bold face, assumption, etc. Practice more on that type and get on with it. CR bible is for people who find it hard to approach/understand the question types in CR. Full of basics and quite a big one to read. The time can be invested in something else where you can see more improvement in the 2 weeks :)
