Hi satishchaudharygmat,

CR is a remarkably predictable question type. While the subjects discussed in each prompt will vary, the patterns in the logic will not (and even the wrong answers types are predictable). If you're having trouble with CR, then you probably have not practiced with materials that will teach you the Tactics necessary to handle these types of questions.

1) How long have you been studying?
2) What materials have you used?
3) How have you score don each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?

I have been studying for 3-4 months and CR seems a big bite for me
The materials that I have used are Manhattan cr 5th ed, gmat club cr, and powerscore cr bible(currently working on this).
could you provide any materials where i can work with pattern of logic mentioned earlier.

Hi satishchaudharygmat,

There are certainly practice materials that I can recommend to you, but I need to know more about your current abilities:

1) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
2) How are you performing on RC and SC?

No i havent taken any CATs
Talking about my RC and SC. with reference to GMAT official guide 2016 i get RC 60% right most of the time and my SC is good 10/16 correct most of time but SC is quite difficult for me as well.

Hi satishchaudharygmat,

If you've truly been studying for the last 3+ months, then you really MUST take FULL-LENGTH CATs at regular intervals. This is the only way to truly track your progress. As such, you should plan to take one soon. Make sure to take the FULL CAT (with the Essay and IR sections) in a realistic fashion. Once you have that score result, you should post back here. Until we have that information, we have no way of knowing whether your studies are properly focused or not.
