Critical Reasoning Advice

Expert replies

Hi,

Its been 5 days since I've been studying for the GMAT (I intend to take the GMAT Next February) and just practiced CR related questions in Kaplan's Premier Guide and the verbal OG (purple book) and I'm consistently getting 50%. I know it sucks...the problem is this and I need help and advice at this point.

How do I identify my weaknesses? I don't get many 'careless' mistakes; it seems like if I read an argument, I'm assuming the wrong things the author is (and I don't think that my assumptions are incorrect, they potentially just don't line with up with the author). One strategy I attempted to implement was to bucket out the questions by type (i.e. Analogy, causal, assumptions, inferences, etc...) and I don't see any clear patterns.

What is everyone doing to get better at these CR's?
-------------------
Sincerely,

Piyush A.

I am in the same boat and would like to know what should I do to realize my mistakes.

Try the book "Powerscore CR". You can find soft copy on the net. Use Google. :D

A is the most suitable option in this case.
