OLD CR QUESTIONS. pls,help

by tanviet » Sun Dec 11, 2011 7:24 pm
pls, help,

I meet a problem. I fail the test many time and not want to study again. The problem is that if I reread old CR questions, my ability to read argument and to think critically is reduced because I am biased

solution is I need to read NEW cr questions to increase both ability to read argument and to think critically.

where to find new CR quesitons, the hundred of them?, pls, help

LSAT in one of the sources but LSAT pool contains formal logic if-then which is not needed for gmat.

pls, help.

I would say it's the change approach, not the newness of the questions, that will make the difference. Start your studies by developing a strong CR strategy for each question-type.

You might want to check out some of these articles:

https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/2010/11/ ... -questions

https://grockit.com/blog/gmat/2011/06/20 ... sumptions/

Student take and re-take and re-take the same OG questions and the same GMATPrep questions. The review is what will change your score, not the number of questions you answer. I would actually suggest starting from scratch with the old questions. If you are still getting older questions wrong, that's a sure sign you need more strategy help.

Good luck!

Thank you Kerr. YOur idea is fatal to me.

It is clear that I do not apply the steps detailed in the article in the website you mention. I do not make prediction before going to answer choices.

I will apply the steps in the article when I do old and new questions next time.

One question.

I think that prediction step is key important step for cr success because being able to make prediction shows that

we arlready understand/ paraphrase argument properly.

and that

we can attack the answer choices more actively.

is my thinking correct?

I have question, expert, member, pls, help

some articles advise us to prephrase assumption/s before going to answer choices. Other articles advise us to prephrase the answer.

what we should do? to try to find out the assumption and then go to the answer choices to find a weaknener or try to find out an assumption and weakener before going to answer choices to find a weakener ( if the question ask us to find a weakener)
