Hey Qwerty!

Here's how I liked to break CR down:

- Weaken
- Strengthen
- Assumption
- Conclusion
- Bold Face
- Inference
- Must Be True
- Cause and Effect
- Paradox
- Numbers/Percents
- Flaw
- Additional Evidence
- Similar Reasoning
- Complete the Passage
- Method of Reasoning
- Argument Evaluation

Other people will have slightly different names, but that's CR in a nutshell!

Here's he we (GMAT Prep Now) categorize them:
1. Weaken the Argument
2. Strengthen the Argument
3. Assumption
4. Conclusion/Inference
5. Method of Reasoning
6. Flawed Argument
7. Paradox
8. Evaluation

We've also categorized all of the OG13 CR questions in the attached pdf.

Cheers,
Brent
