I have studied CR from Powerscore LR Bible and MGMAT LSAT CR and GMAT CR guide.
I like the MGMAT's concept of Argument Core (P --> C).
As suggested in Manhattan LSAT CR, I take abbreviated notes of only P --> C relationship in case of Assumption Family Q's and in case of non-Assumption Q's i take abbreviated notes to understand whats going on specially in Inference. With abbreviated notes my accuracy is close to 100%. :-D
The problem is that i am taking ~ 2 minutes (plus minus 15 seconds) to solve a CR Q but with confidence and 100% accuracy.
If i don't take notes the accuracy goes for a toss and i am hardly confident of choosing the answer
I don't reread the argument or answer choice.
Any advice
to reduce the time for CR?

Hi bgs4gmat,
to reduce the time for CR?The best way to speed up CR problems is to predict the answer before you look at the answer choices. If you already know what you're looking for, you don't have to read the answers thorough; you can just scan until you find a match. Moreover, you won't waste any time ruling out tempting traps choices--they don't match what you think the answer should be, so you won't get distracted!

I'm not sure why you think taking 2 minutes is a long time. Check out this article on timing benchmarks (https://www.manhattangmat.com/articles/keeping-pace.cfm). You can safely take 2 minutes (or even up to 2:30) on CR questions and still have adequate time for all Verbal questions.
To answer your question about speeding up, make sure you are eliminating the clearly wrong answers (ie out of scope) quickly so you can spend quality time determining which of the remaining 2-3 is correct.
