Critical reasoning strategy

by gmatshot » Fri Jun 26, 2009 3:42 pm
My problem in CR is I could not focus on large dense text after I work on 3 CR questions,so I could not comprehend text correctly, and therefore I make a guess.

Second,I take more than 40 sec to comprehend first sentence in a cr question and complete answering in around 2min30sec.

How do I improve my two issues

I have completed first 70 questions in OG11
my hit rate is 60-70 percent.
I read CR bible once.
All ur suggestions are welcome,Thanks.

Your post makes me think that you may need some more practice with the English language to boost your understanding and reading speed before working on CR skills. I suggest trying to make English part of your daily routine, by reading high quality materials, such as a good book or reputed newspapers, like The Economist or The Wall Street Journal.

The CR bible is truly a great source for strategies concerning CR. Merely reading it will not suffice: you will also need to carefully review the concepts and try to memorize some of their tips.
