As I approach my test date I have completed an overall review on all topics.
While doing my RC review I took the 12th edition book and came up with a sample of about 70 problems ranging in various difficulty. As well as various questions in the GMATClub test bank. Throughout my review I took a tally of the roughly 15 questions I got wrong and came up with the key areas which I consistently answered incorrectly. And they are:
1)Strengthen questions - 40%
2)Weaken questions - 40%
3)Arguement Evaluation questions - 20%
After I found this similarity I understood that my elimination technique is not working and often always crossed out the answer.
My question is whether there is logical way to approach finding the 2-3 obviously wrong answers in these types of questions, and to help me establish a better process to combat these problems.
Any help would be appreciated because I am kicking but on all other RC topics and I do not want these 3 to make or break me.
Thank you all for your assistance,
Hunter

First of all I will safely Assume that by RC you mean CR instead,i.e Critical reasoning.
My assumption is based on the Question types you have mentioned here.
Secondly,I presume you have not yet gone through Logical Reasoning Bible by Power score.If that be the case,please do read these chapters.
Thirdly,the book mentions specific Tests for eliminating the wrong answers.For example, you can use negation Technique on an answer option, for a strengthening type of question.If you closely focus on the Argument conclusion,you will find that by using this test on a CORRECT option it will Weaken the conclusion instead.hence the option is the correct answer.
Similarly,you can use Polar Opposite Answer technique Yes/No for Argument evaluation.
Point is all such tests help you to pin point the right answer.
Finally, you can share some question here at the CR forum.We will answer them and develop a cooperative learning platform,benefiting all of us.
I hope this helps.
