Hello. I am reading a Powerscore CR Bible book. They have used the term "Fact Test" again and again. What does this mean?

People are not prisoners of fate, but prisoners of their own mind.

It's more than separating claims from premises and calling the latter ones facts! This is a reflection on what is being introduced in CR entry. Reflection is one side of CR thinking. The other side is rationale.

We are in 'fact test' --> ask evidence --> consider the source of evidence --> consider the author's motivation to use specific evidence --> challenge evidence, hence the author's motivation

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
