ZOMG! The Bang, Bang CR Guide [#permalink]

With an attractive title like that, it's surprising you're even reading this. I started preparing for the GMAT with the CR section and went through at least three different strategy guides before putting together my own document with the best strategies in them. The document I've attached here basically contains a comprehensive list of question types, identification techniques, approach techniques and correct/incorrect answer choice justifications. I've also included two examples for each of the types I've mentioned. I am also a big color junkie. If it doesn't look good, I don't like reading it, so I made it as colorful and lively as I could. And I thought I should share it with you guys, should it help anyone at all. Quote: Disclaimer: I have just shared my understanding of various strategies and I have used examples from several other sources, all of which are listed in the document itself. This is merely meant to help people out with understanding the concepts. It's NOT a substitute to the guide book. So don't sue me! :D Quote: Recommendation: Go buy the Powerscore CR and Veritas CR Guides. Both of them are excellent sources of problems and strategies. The Powerscore CR Bible clearly explains what I've summarized here and Veritas has some examples that illustrate the strategies very efficiently! Document:

Haha, thanks Hussain/dokiyoki. It's colorful because I just can't stand looking at piles of black/white notes. This was actually meant to be something that I can print out and carry with me wherever without having to worry about lugging so many books around. Comes in handy when I am in between classes, having a break and I can just pull it out and like focus on the summary of one type and try to recollect all the points to see how I am doing. I hope this turns out useful for you guys. I'll start making a similar one for SC soon. And thanks for all the positive responses!

So what I did was, listen to Powerscore, take hand-notes, and then type them up without looking at the notes to later fill it in with missing material. This way I retain the material as well. P.S - 500th post.
