Does anybody have any tips, tricks or fast methods for solving CR questions?

All I have is the following cheat sheet. Anyone else have anything?

That looks like an LSAT logical reasoning sheet.

For the GMAT, the key question types in CR are Assumption, Strengthen, Weaken and Inference. Some of those other question types may appear (Flaw, for example), but being an expert at the "Big 4" is what will get you the majority of CR points on test day.

Further, bolded statement questions don't appear on the chart but have been showing up more frequently on the GMAT in the last year or so.
