CR Problem Set and How to Improve CR rate ? [#permalink] New post   19 Jan 2010, 19:09
Hi Guys ,
I have completed reading the Powerscore CR and started solving the OG 12 CR questions and currently only have 80 % success rate (with timer , so obviously some presssure, but doesnt want to switch off timer as well) .
(1) Please advise if this rate is ok ?

- OG 12 has 120 CR questions and Verbal Guide has 80 questions . (2) are this enough ?
I started using 1000 CR , but its really tough for me , also I dont have the explanations for most of the questions.

Would you suggest me some sets in 1000 CR ?

How to Improve CR Rate :
as mentioned above, success rate in CR is 80 % only . ( i have already completed Powerscore CR ).
Any Suggestions/comments ?


Please , Please shed some light , so that I can come along.

Cheers,

if you want more CR resources try these books
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/097212 ... 0972129642
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/098017 ... 0980178215

Those are LSAT exams explained by Powerscore. The explanations are great and the questions are difficult.

How have you been studying/reviewing CR questions?
what are your weaknesses/strengthens? do you have trouble with timing? Have you analyzed your mistakes?

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 !
