From my past practice i observed that for the 700 level questions i'm able to get to the correct answer but consuming 2-3+min of time, if i choose some answer by taking less time, it going to be wrong. So need some help in coming out of this situation of - consuming more time.
I followed below process:
identify conclusion, if its weaken - i knew that i should weaken one particular point, but its getting delayed b/w options in deciding mainly in b/w 2 options.

Hi madgmat2019,
It's the level of the question you need to worry about but the methodology you use to solve questions. Because, once you learn the right methodology, the time automatically falls into place. Let me help you here.
There are mainly 4 frameworks on which most of the CR questions are based. And there are a set of guidelines for every framework that help you pre-think the missing link. So, once you understand the framework and learn the guidelines, the process of pre-thinking becomes very easy. The right way to solve CR questions is to:
- Read the argument
- Identify the premise and the conclusion
- Understand the framework on which it is based
- Read the question stem
- Come up with a few assumptions by thinking along the guidelines
- Eliminate answer choices which are either irrelevant, out of context, opposite or distorted
So, your process of solving CR questions becomes a lot more structured. You get confused with two options because you are not using the right methodology. You can go through the recording below to understand the frameworks and the methodology in a better way.
And we are currently running a webinar series in which we will be covering various topics including CR and RC. Below is the schedule for the webinar series.
Do register using the below link to receive invites, reminders and the webinar recordings. I'm sure you will find this series helpful.

So, I suggest you to focus on the methodology and then move to practicing questions. Solving the questions using the methodology might seem tedious during the initial stages but once you get used to it, it is the best method to solve. We, in GMATWhiz, teach you the framework in a methodical way so that your learning of the concepts and the methodology goes hand in hand. You can check out the CR module in the free trial of GMATWhiz.
If you wish to discuss more about the study strategy, you can get in touch with me using the below link.

Hi madgmat2019,
Many GMATers become too fixated on the 'implied level' of the questions that they're working on - instead of what really matters: defining WHY they're getting questions wrong and becoming more efficient at approaching the overall Exam. It's also worth noting that just because a 3rd party describes a question as "700 level" does not necessarily make it so. You're also asking about a rare subset of what will likely be the least frequent category in the Verbal section - meaning that unless you are already great at all of the other big-point categories in the Verbal AND Quant sections, you might be focusing too much on an area that won't pick you up the additional points that you're after.
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) You have listed an Official Score in your profile. When did you take the GMAT and did you take it more than once?
2) How long have you studied in total? How many hours do you typically study each week?
3) What study materials have you used so far?
4) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
5) What is your overall goal score?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
