Powerscore CR bible

I'm one of the most fervent supporters of the PowerScore CR Bible, so you might want to take my word with a grain of salt...

But what I've noticed is this: the CR Bible gives you tons of tips and such, but you're only supposed to memorize a few (if any). I woudn't waste my time with everything in the book, but I would browse and note everything that's hitting my weak spots in CR.

I personally DID feel a pretty consistent improvement in CR after this book. Plus, after reading it, I just instantly understood why I was getting a funny feeling about the Kaplan CR questions: their quality is not the same!

I'm getting weird results depending on which practice test I take. I will kill the Barron's CR and do poorly on Kaplan's. Can someone compare and contrast the CR Bible vs MGMAT CR book?

I'll get all the books of MGMAT within a week. So if I read those book I can give you a review of it:D

Hey Dana, whats the deal with kaplan's CR?

Someone mentioned Barron's... Please stay away from that book! It's just filled with errors... I wouldn't recommend it to my biggest foes...

To answer yogami's question: Kaplan's CR is not as clear-cut as GMAT CR, IMHO. Their answers are debatable and I could have surely formulated better questions myself. It's not that it's not worth a try, but their questions are not 100% GMAT-styled, so to speak. Sometimes the connections they implied were really off the charts! I personally would never have thought of so many steps of reasoning in order to get to some of their answers... They just go a tad bit too far!

To improve CR you might try some Logical Reasoning problems from the LSAT. These problems tend to be more difficult and often provide better practice.
