Hi PJ,

So 12/16 tells me you have a fairly good idea of how to do CR, but your strategy is falling apart on the harder-level questions. I'd ask yourself 2 questions: 1) what is my step-by-step strategy for all CR? and 2) what types of CR Q's am I getting wrong (weaken, bolded statement, complete the passage, etc). Then you can start to refine. To answer #2, you might need to go back through your last 30-40 incorrect CR and categorize them with an Error Log.

I'd re-examine how you use your scratch paper and whether you're effectively breaking down the question stem's information and restating the question prior to making a prediction. There's a lot of work that you can do before looking at the answer choices.

I don't know how soon your test is, but you might also benefit from looking at Powerscore CR. My guess is the Kaplan GMAT Premier's strategies are pretty basic.

Good luck!
