Hello everyone. I would like to get some feedback on how to improve in CR. I have with me, OG ofcourse then the Official Verbal guide + SETS I downloaded through a user's recommendation.

Can someone vouch for a source that if done well could greatly improve your score ? Thank you

Hmmmm Amazon has a Powerscore GMAT CR bible too. Isnt that as good? I am aware that mastering LSAT CR would be harder, but hoping that GMAt guide will help.

I've heard great things about both books. I am currently using the LSAT CR bible and it is great although GMAT doesn't test CR questions to the same level that LSAT does.

I think the LSAT critical reasoning bible is the best, but it contains some nearly needless in GMAT information such as conditional reasoning!!!

Conditional reasoning is the key to answer inference questions. This stuff is good to answer the toughest inference questions in RC

I concur with the other posters. Powerscore CR guides are awesome but you really need to make a big effort to understand and persist with the techniques.

dahcrap, congrats for the great score and thanks for the de-brief. I think its time you change your username to from "dahcrap" to "dahman" :-)
