State of Mind when dealing with a CR question

2, Critical Reasoning: CR was my nemesis for a long time. I simply never got it right and couldn’t find the logic behind all these stupid arguments. But then, the CR Bible helped me out. It is worth its weight in gold. In about 2 weeks everything fell into its place and since then GMAC really has to get a nasty assumption question to make me sweat. But even those can be mastered. The Official Guide is also very important at this point and I also ordered the extra Verbal Guide and did all the questions in that one, too.
Good advices for CR: scope, scope and scope. Don’t fall for what your mind is telling you! If the argument states that small green men have taken over the management of the plumbing in Manhattan and the mayor is nervous because their productivity is falling because of their frequent telespheric phone calls to Mars, you have to believe all this rubbish and think about it as true. If it is a weaken question, look for the answer that tells you that they can communicate without phones and you have just found the right answer. If the argument is stupid, you have to be stupid, too. Don’t try to be clever, it doesn’t pay off.
