GMAT Strategy

Hello Guys,

I have been working on the GMAT since October 2010,

I first took GMAT prep 1 in November and scored 480 V17. I then worked worked on my weaknesses, which are RC, SC and CR. Over the last few months I was working on the verbal part using Manhattan GMAT SC book. I was able to improve my verbal score....and my overall score but today I took GMAT prep 2 to gauge my level and scored a disappointing 590, the only positive is that I only made two mistakes in SC. As I am taking the real GMAT on July 7th, I am in panic. I need to improve on critical reasoning, even though I went through the CR bible, I am still really weak on this section. ANY SUGGESTION on how to improve????

Many thanks in advance

PS: I am non native English speaker

How are you currently approaching the CR problems? Do you find yourself going back and forth between the answers and passage often? Do you find yourself getting confused by more than 2 selections on a question? The real key I think to solving the CR problems is to simply learn how to rewrite the passage into very clear and concise points. Once you understand the passage and what information its giving you finding the answer among the 5 choices is not very hard.
