Hello,
I have significantly improved my RC score (almost to 95% accuracy) by following the help given here (e.g. summarizing, looking for direction changers, practicing RC on magazines etc).
However, my CR continues to flounder. I can pickup the right answers for most easy questions, however, i get most difficult questions wrong. These questions could be,
1. With slightly complicated question stem.
2. With question type different from the major types (strengthen/weaken/conclusion/assumption).
3. With a complicated argument.
4. With answer choices which strengthens/weakens/assumes/concludes/etc. in complicated roundabout way.
I need pointers / help,
With strategies that could improve my CR score?
How i could practice CR while not doing GMAT CR questions (e.g with magazines etc)?
Do i need to use flash cards?
How should i use flash cards?
Can you give a worked out example of mgmat's "A Must-Use Critical Reasoning Strategy"?
RC to me was a process type section i.e. if one has a robust / practiced process the score WILL go up. Is CR the same or does it have a significant memory element like SC? If so, how can i go about finding what elements i must commit to memory? Should i just stick to Stacey Koprince's "How to Analyze a Critical Reasoning Question" and in time I WILL see improvements, is that the case?
Too many questions here, i am sure some of these may have been answered elsewhere on the forum. Pointers to these posts will be great.
Thanks
