Thanks for the reply

I have Powerscore CR with me and I have completed reading that book and now am practising the CR question from OG 12.

I am making mistakes in every 4 question out of 20 and when I reviewd those

1-2 questions will be due to timing

2-3 questions will be due to overlooking the options or identifying the conclusion incorrectly.

is that really possible to solve big CR questions within 1 minute and 50 seconds ?

The idea is to solve SC questions around 1 minute, so that you have more time for RC and CR. My average timing was around 2:20. But you should consider that timing was one of my main problems, I always had to guess blindly 2-3 questions in the verbal part.

My average is CR is same as you , but used to take 3 mins for some questions and less than 1.5 mins for some. so the average falls near 2.2.

Let me complete CR from OG 12 and Verbal guide.do you suggest 1000 CR ?

Did you feel any use of the Powerscore Bible? Has the reading of it added any value in your cR solving? Pl response.

Hi Vavish..
Power Score CR describes all the types of CR question in detail. I would say I haven't mastered that yet. Last time, I was just trying to completed the CR as fast as I could,and I have hurt myself.

and am gonna go through again in the aim of grasping something useful. Almost 70% of the people have suggested Powerscore CR to me. worth giving a try .

good luck !
