I was hitting consistently 35 in verbal in mock CATS like gmatprep, kaplan, mgmat. I started practicing LSAT papers for CR and RC. Though I am hitting almost 90% accuracy while answering LSAT papers in logical reasoning section, I am not able to get similar accuracy in gmat practice CATs. I am puzzled with this outcome because as LSAT question as comparatively harder than gmat CR, I should be able to hit good accuracy in gmat CR as well. I am wondering what could be the reason and what other way can I improve in CR. My actual GMAT is on June 3rd. Can somebody please advice?

Hi vel4gmat,
While there are some Test Takers and Experts who believe that using LSAT materials during their studies is a good idea, I am NOT one of them. While LSAT LR has a lot in common with GMAT CR, there are enough differences to make those LSAT resources less than ideal. To start, LSAT LR includes a wider range of questions types and 'design logic' than GMAT CR does, so you'd be learning/practicing ideas that you will NOT face on the Official GMAT. To be clear, that doesn't necessarily mean that LSAT LR is 'harder' - you'll just be wasting your time on concepts that you won't be tested on during the GMAT. In addition, most LSAT prompts are presented in print (and you can solve them with pencil-and-paper) - NEITHER of those aspects is realistic relative to the Official GMAT. This is all meant to say that there are plenty of useful GMAT resources to be had, so there's no good reason to be using LSAT resources during your GMAT studies.
1) How long have you studied?
2) What materials have you used?
3) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
4) What is your goal score?
