Strategy for Critical Reasoning

by tritrantran » Thu Dec 18, 2008 9:27 am
I'm having difficulty in this area. I've been browsing some of CR problems in this forum attempting to answer the questions, but I just can't get it down correctly.

Any suggestions, strategies, study materials to help improve my CR skills would be appreciated.

Thanks

IMO I have found the Powerscore gmat critical reasoning bible to be useful.

They provide strategies/tips to handle different types of CR questions. In addition I would practice a lot of CR problems and while doing that convince myself on why each answer choice is wrong in addiiton to convincing myself on why one answer choice is correct.

You dont have to do it on all the answer choices but atleast on closely contending answer choices. This way u pick the right choice and not the trap/decoy answer choice.

Practice each type of CR question till u feel comfortable handling them.One some question types its ok to bring in new information and some others not. The only way you would have this in your finger tips is by practice.

Hope this helps!
