MGMAT Critical Reasoning or Powerscore CR Bible

by PapaB » Sat May 29, 2010 11:53 am
Hey Guys,

I wanted to know which guide is better. I really like the MGMAT guides so far, but I have read some posts that say the MGMAT Critical Reasoning guide is a little weak in some areas and Powerscore is better. Please let me know your thoughts.

My goal is to get the most comprehensive guide. I want to learn everything from the smallest to the most complex. I'm not looking for a crash course or book of tricks. Let me know. Thanks.

I am a big fan of MGMAT books and they are the best i read for all except CR. For CR the best is Powerscore Bible.

MGMAT's books are any time good, but if you want to learn CR in depth then you should go for power score's CR.

So, powerscore's CR is better than MGAMT's CR:

Reason # 1 : they have not given the chapters of evaluation, boldface, and resolving paradox in details in MGMAT's CR.

Reason # 2 : they have given the assumptions' chapter very good (the best one ) and technique of T-diagram
(good for beginners) but increased the number of pages by giving some unecessary things.

may be they planned to increase these stuff (i.e. evaluation, boldface, and resolving paradox) in their next edition :-)
