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.
