CR question timing

by punitkaur » Wed Aug 12, 2009 12:57 pm
Hi,

I have just started practising questions in CR. I was planning to do all my questions timed. What is the optimum time to allot to each Cr question while practising?

Thanks

2 minutes...some methods have you writing stuff done like premise and conclusion, etc. but writing stuff down takes time and will take more than 2 minutes. I recommend understanding the different question types i.e. weaken, strengthen, inference, boldface, etc, and what they want you to do to the stimulus...If you are able to anticipate and mentally figure things out, you will be able to optimize at 2 mins. You want to save extra time for the RC.
