Would need your help on this. I have been learning how to solve CR problems by the 7 stategies devised by Eric. I have practiced quite a lot of problem from all the OG books (both the thick book and the verbal book) and yet the highest percentage I got was 50%. I am kind of stuck in this specific session of verbal (I don't have many issues with Reading comprehension or sentence correction). I don't know what I could do to improve my score. I have my exam day in a month and I am really tight on time (full time working and spending 2-3 hours a day on both maths and verbal). Many thanks for advising me some tips so that I can get over this.

I'm starting to see that CR is more about reading carefully, understanding clearly the question being asked, and then going from there. If you try too hard to fit these questions into one strategy or another, I can see how things might get even more confusing.

But, still, I'm curious as to what these strategies are.

I think you should spend more on verbal. Do not touch to math until you have 7-10 days before the G-day. Just practice - the most valuable thing to learn

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
