Hello,
I've been preparing for the GMAT and I Must say CR is the only section that haunts me and unfortunately it garners the most number of questions. Here is what happens when I start tackling CR Q's:
It takes me a lot of time to digest and understand what is mentioned in the options. So, I want to speed up on that front.
I've really not practiced a great deal of CR Q's.
What should I do to really improve on CR ? Is it really important to go through books like Powerscore etc ?
What should be the ideal way to deal and prepare for CR ?
Cheers !

Hi asciijai,
You've mentioned how CR is difficult for you, but then you ALSO mention how you haven't practiced for it very much. Thus, it's likely that you'll improve once you've invested a bit more time into learning the Tactics, patterns and logic behind CR. Before I can offer any specific advice, I'd like to know a bit more about your studies overall:
1) How long have you been studying for the GMAT?
2) What materials have you been using?
3) How comfortable are you with the overall Verbal section (including SC and RC)?
4) What is your goal score?
5) How have you scored on your practice CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
6) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

CR involves a lot of practice, the more you practice the better it is.
There are some concepts/tricks in CR that make your life easier on the GMAT. So yes you should at least once go through a preparatory course/book.
Regarding the timing issues, they would also go away along with your practice and when you start applying your concepts.
The ideal way would be to go through the theory first and then start solving problems. Make sure that you solve problems that are a true reflection of the official problems.
The Official problems should obviously be a big part of your practice.
If you need additional practice, you can enrol for a preparatory course. Most of the companies including ours offer a free trial period. You can opt for the period and see if the course suits your needs.
