Hi everyone ,

I am new to the GMAT Club forum and started my GMAT prep journey a month ago.
I have been practicing CR & RC questions for some time , but just can't get my scores right in E-GMAT quizzes.
I always get around 50% accuracy even though the questions for CR seems relatively simple when I check them post the timed test.

I am badly struggling on timing , as my score gets tanked as I miss out on questions towards the end , taking wild guesses because of lack of time.
Please suggest me some measures to improve upon my CR & timing issues. I don't have much time left, have my GMAT in second week of March.


Focus on CR structure (conclusion, premises, gap) and pre-think answers before looking at options. For RC, summarize paragraphs in 3-5 words and prioritize main idea questions. Practice timed sets daily, skip tough questions after 2.5 mins, and deeply analyze mistakes to improve accuracy and pacing. You’ve got this!

You should read CR basics from Manhattan Prep Book (edition 6). It has explained CR concepts well.
