Hi all,

For those who took GMAT in the past, can you please tell me the types of CR questions that appear the most in the exam? (such as must be true, strengthen, weaken and etc)

Assumption-type questions tend to dominate the CR, accounting for as much as 80% of a typical CR experience. Assumption-type questions are those that involve an underlying assumption (naked assumption, weaken, strengthen). If you can't do well on this category of question, it'll be a hard climb to getting a high score.

Hope this helps.

i really don't understand these problem classification? Is anyone harder then the others? Do people really approach the problems differently base on the "type"?

To me they are all the same. You read. You understand and then you answer what is asked. Most of the time the answer choices are 3 completely irrelevant choice and 2 close calls.

"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."
