I have completed reading CR topics from Powerscore and now want a robust plan to start my practice for CR. Please suggest a good plan to work through this: how to move across levels,how to approach the whole practice (whether topic and level wise approach should be followed/ mixed type level wise approach should be followed), how many questions to attempt before moving to the next level, thresholds to determine when to decide to move to the next level if target is 730+, how to do this efficiently from scratch to advanced and then when to switch to mocks?

But this is too vague a question to answer. I'd need you to be more specific as CR strategy differs from person to person. Example : What level are you currently at? What is your CR problem solving mechanism like? Merely 'completing' CR course might not help. You'll probably have to understand your strengths/weakness first.
1. Do most of your CR practice untimed. By doing the practice untimed, you give yourself time to fully analyze the questions and learn. Many people think that you have to practice timed to learn to answer CR questions quickly, but skill is what makes you fast, not rushing through practice questions without giving yourself time to learn. So, take your time and develop skill.
2. Work by topic level and by difficulty level within topics. That way, you can apply what you have learned in answering one question to answering the next one and effectively develop skill in answering one type of CR question before you move to the next one.
3. Since your desired score is pretty high, shoot for 90 to 100 percent accuracy in easy and medium questions and at least 80 percent accuracy in hard questions on each topic before moving to the next.
4. Also, to develop super strong skills and consistency, use the TTP Streaks Method, shooting for streaks of 15 or more questions of a type and difficulty level correct in a row. Ideally, you'll get 15 in a row correct at least once for each type and difficulty level, but if you run out of questions of a particular type before you hit the streak of 15, then just move on as long as your accuracy is basically what it has to be.
