Critical Reasoning is one section where your accuracy might dip in the beginning and remain low for a while. The key is consistency — with regular practice, accuracy gradually improves and then rises sharply.
Recommended Resources:- Elites Grid CR 256 – excellent for topic-wise and difficulty-wise practice with detailed explanations.
- GMAT Ninja videos and the PowerScore Critical Reasoning Bible – widely considered among the best resources for building a strong foundation.
These are sufficient to understand how to approach a GMAT CR question — either solving it directly or eliminating the wrong choices.
A strong grasp of the
scope of the argument and the ability to
eliminate out-of-scope options is absolutely essential.
Best of luck with your prep! Once you are done with the basics, make sure to include Critical Reasoning as a
daily part of your preparation.
