i am posting here just to explain some of the methods ,which help me , to solve all kind of critical reasoning questions..
for CR one has to think critically ...this is what i thought while i started GMAT stuff. but really with the time and with the experience i came to know that this is not the game of critical thinking at all...though somewhat ..but not fully!!! So i figured out a very good method..tested one..as i am the source
while i started CR i took 50 questions and i ended up with the score 26/50 but after 2 months..i again took another bunch of 50 questions..all are 700+ stuff.. and guess ..!!!! score was 49/50..one i missed because of hurryness while selecting ans.
any ways...i will suggest the following steps ..at least you try ..and then please provide me the feedback. 1) SCOPE Elimination.. : As i solve again and again gmat questions i came to know that in general there are 2-3/5 options such that it is totally irrelevent..out of scope. so try to eliminate those 2-3 options state away.. 2) POE(I called it a short form of Process of Elimination): eliminate those involving extreme answers choices ..at least more than 97% questions this is the wrong questions so its better to make it wrong choice.
3) after these 2 steps you must ended up at least 2 and at max 3 choices ..no here is the trick.. to select right one here... in these 2-3 1 must be looking different from other 2 in case u left wid 3..n mind it..this is the right one.. just try it
"IN THE END I WILL SAY...TO CRACK CR BEST WAY IS ELIMINATION" please try this method at least onceas it involves 3 months of hard work and please provide feedback...in case u like it press kudos.. also
thanks harsh

Your ultimate realization will be that whole verbal is about elimination :) - SC is about elimination(choose the best answer); CR is about elimination and RC has well same questions as CR has except the context is different so again elimination helps a lot.
