My OG hit rate for CR's is almost near perfect now. The only probs. I have trouble on still are difficult assumption CR's and the really difficult boldface CR's. Occassionally, I miss the other types, but I am always able to narrow down to 2 choices.

Now as for MGMAT CR's... i miss more than usual. Not sure why. I dunno if they are harder or not. Maybe MGMAT CAT's just have more of the harder CR's than a usual GMAT would. Meaning the harder level CR's that would normally be 700-800 on GMATPrep are 600-700 on MGMAT. That was my experience w/ GMATPrep vs. MGMAT. but I could be wrong.

you have done well over the last few CATs and your verbal seem to be consistent on the last 3. Dont worry you should be near 700 on the real test.

Thanks, I hope so! I'm aiming at something in the mid-700s... let's say 740 or higher. Tweaking my V score can go a long way there.

I'm good at SC, and since I've changed my approach on CR I'm doing much better on OG problems. I've started read the question 1st, then the passage, and as I read the passage I outline it per the MGMAT diagramming method. Depending on the question I then determine if I need to add another agreeing premise (to strengthen), add an opposing premise (weaken), find a reasonable conclusion within the scope of the passage, infer another "conclusion" based on the premises given, or add a necessary assumption.

I was not diagramming before as I was skeptical about whether the time required was worth it. Now I think it is. The act of diagramming the passage basically paraphrases the important parts into my own words and allows me to attack it more easily. The OG11 CRs are taking me between 1 and 2 minutes to get through with 90-95% accuracy.
