CR skills

Hi IndianBoy,

If you've studied for a month already, then you really MUST take a FULL-LENGTH CAT (including the Essay and IR sections) sometime soon (perhaps this weekend). That initial diagnostic CAT is important - it helps to define your strengths and weaknesses and gives you a basis for comparison as you continue to study. Most Test Takers are not happy with that first CAT result, but that's not a big deal - the extra months of available study time are there so that you can IMPROVE on this initial practice result. You can download 2 CATs for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have that score result, you should report back here and we can discuss your study plan.

As a 'special' for GMATClub members, we do offer a free 3-day trial of the EMPOWERgmat Course. The normal monthly subscription is $99/month (and you can use any Study Plan that you choose or just 'jump around' to the subjects that interest you). There are also discount codes available. If you have any additional questions, then you can feel free to contact me directly.

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

Hi IndianBOy,

Improving CR skills by reading a lot or clicking around forums will be very difficult.

That's why we put together a video to show you how to read a CR passage and how to think through it:
