On the real tests(Sample of around 3 tests) though my accuracy drops to very bad. I get 1 to 2 questions out of 14 questions correct and remaining are all wrong. When I review the tests, the case is generally my line of reasoning does not sync with GMAT line of reasoning.
Are you saying this on the basis of your performance on the GMATPreps? If not, keep in mind that any analysis based on non-official tests is necessarily going to involve a much larger margin of error.

I do agree that I did not take the GMAT Prep to find these results, but I feel the issue with cr is global for all tests I take since that's the area in any test, be it GMAT prep or mgmat, that drags my score down

Any help with this issue highly appreciated

I bought the egmat CR and started practising. I was good at it and in all practice tests that were part of the course, I did a good job answering almost 90 to 100% of them correctly. I also did the OG 15 CR questions and out of 124 questions, my hit rate was somewhere around 80 to 85%. On the real tests(Sample of around 3 tests) though my accuracy drops to very bad. I get 1 to 2 questions out of 14 questions correct and remaining are all wrong. When I review the tests, the case is generally my line of reasoning does not sync with GMAT line of reasoning. I want to tweak my line of reasoning to be in line with GMAT. I have heard my friends telling that I am freaking out during the test, but this does not seem to be the case because in the SC and RC i score almost 85% of the questions correctly. My GMAT is in a few weeks and my 700+ depends on this section now. My current MGMAT split up stands at around Q44/45 and V33/34.

Any help here would be appreciated

Hey haree87,

For CR, we recommend a visual framework approach to help you understand the complex short passages and how each item relates to each other.

Here is a video describing the visual framework approach: https://www.gmatpill.com/criticalreasoni ... Estate.mp4
