Hi All,

There are few CR questions with unfamliar wordings. Some of them are so unfamiliar that you cannot recogonize the context they are used in and end up not understanding the CR question correctly - which further leads to incorrect answers.

Can anyone help - how to tackle such questions, even if you do not understand the essence completely?

One (atleast me:)) cannot answer a CR questions without understanding the essence.

However one can use elimiation method, where you can eliminate the worst answers one by one among the 5 options given. You can thus, reach a point where you would be left with 2-3 possible answers.

As always there will be few challenging questions, which is the reason why many end up getting less than 800 !!
