After I am done working on more than half of the OG CR questions and going after the order as listed in the MGMAT CR book, I recognized the following: I would rather have made an error in the lower numbered question area such as 16 or 18, sometimes even 5, whereas I almost never fail at 40-90 and the answer just pops into my eyes. Additionally, I would spend more time on the the lower ones then on the higher ones. Does anybody have similar experiences and can comment on it? Do I tend to overthink or maybe don't grasp some principles?

I couldn't say - but you should be prepared for something like that on the real test. You never know what you'll get - what is easy for other people may be hard for you. The way the test is categorized is based on collective data from other students in the past. Regardless, try to mix up all the questions you answer in any random order and you should aim to get all of them correct whenever possible.
thanks for your answer. After I purchased the Powerscore CR Bible and only read it once, everything was clearer to me and easier to handle. My hit rate improved significantly.
I am in a similar situation. I do not make any more mistakes with the toughest questions. I think it all breaks down on how concentrated I am while reading the argument/questions. When I say "alright focus now and don't mess up," I do really really well. So I feel that practicing more questions will help me improve even more. Sometimes the terms used in the argument could confuse you (it is not related to the difficulty) and I assume that is why we mess up. One more thing, since I still did not start Reading Comprehension I have a question for you. Do you think if I am doing really well the CR I will also do really well on RC? Is that your experience? Thanks for the answer.
Btw, and insights on what the CR Bible suggests you to do?
verbal in general is a little fickle. Try to have the same action plan for each question type. If it's CR, try crossing off each answer that you feel is wrong. This helped me with tougher questions so maybe it will do the same for easy questions for you
I also have the Manhattan series of books and to me they are just overcomplicating things. Therefore, I guess it is the clear and straight-forward approach of the CR bible that is better working for me. I haven't really started with RC and I'm still a little bit struggling with it, yet I feel like the structured approach to question everything similar to CR might help. I also have the same problem that sometimes the terms in the argument or answer choices confuse me, as there are small subtle differences and I'm not a native speaker.
