| Feature | Critical Reasoning (CR) | Reading Comprehension (RC) |
| Goal | Draw a conclusion by combining all the premises. | Infer what the passage suggests. |
| Text Length | Short (3–5 sentences). | Longer passage (200–350 words). |
| Stated Conclusion | No – only premises are given. | Sometimes – the author may explicitly state the main point. |
| Main Strategy | Pure logical reasoning: combine the premises to reach the only supported inference. | Targeted retrieval: locate the relevant lines, then test the answer choices. |
| Where the Inference Comes From | Your logical combination of the premises. | The passage itself, with a small logical step beyond the explicit text. |
| Key Focus | Logical relationships, quantifiers, and conditional language ("all," "some," "most," "unless," "only if," etc.). | Passage structure and relevant evidence. |
| Typical Technique | Chain together the premises to derive a necessary conclusion. | Use the complement technique: infer something about the opposite group or situation when supported by the passage. |
| Time per Question | About 2 minutes. | About 1 minute (after reading the passage). |
