Critical Reasoning plummeted my overall verbal score to 28-32. I rigorously studied several highly recommend books such as the Powerscore CR Bible, yet there was no significant improvement in CR. I then came across EMPOWERgmat; the course absolutely catapulted by CR score, and I ended up scoring 97 percentile in CR on the actual GMAT. Had I performed better on SC, I would have comfortably scored V40 :)

Do you have any reason to look for new material? You might want to just get going with what you have and then add more sources once you get a better idea about what you need to work on and what kind of material can help you. Of course, this is assuming that you haven't already started preparing.

Hi kaka1111,

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

In addition to resources, are you looking for advice on how to improve your Critical Reasoning skills? How long have you been studying for the GMAT? Have you taken a practice test to get a baseline score? What is your GMAT score goal?

Feel free to reach out with further questions.

Good luck!
