I have realized that I am struggling with CR because I am not getting enough practice of similar categories of CR questions. Whenever I move from one CR question to the next, the lessons I've attempted to learn doesn't even apply to the next question. So I end up forgetting or getting overwhelmed by the different ways to attack a problem.
When I practice math topics, its much easier to structure my practice because if for example I want to practice "speed" word problems, there are so many resources to find and practice just speed problems. I can practice 10 speed rate problems and master it.
In the case of CR, I can't just run through 10 assumption or strengthen questions because each question might have a different way to attack it. I am looking for similar questions by type, not question. I don't care about doing "assumption" questions in a row. Rather, I am particularly interested in practicing, for example, a string of "correlation vs. causation" or "number vs. %" questions and master them before trying a different type of category. The frustrating problem I a finding is that I simply can't find a database of questions organized by similar "categories" of questions. If I have this, I can practice a string of CR questions and say "aha! I get the pattern. Next time I see this style of question, I know how to attack it!"
I only see types of questions by question types or by difficulty, not by question "category".
Has anyone categorised these question against what we have in the OG guide?
That's how my brain functions.
Can someone help?

Creating and regularly reviewing an error-log may be helpful to mitigate that issue.

Piyush, You don't need "methods" or "tricks" to be good in CR. If you are able to comprehend the passage "well". That's all you actually need to solve an CR question. If you want to see that in action, watch any of the GMATNinja 's CR videos on YouTube.
GMAT/EA is a pattern matching game, and if I can identify the patterns beforehand and know the strategy to use, it will be much easier for me to attack the question.
Let's take correlation vs. causation questions for example. There are many such identifiable questions. If I know the approach/framework, it will make my life easier. For correlation/causal questions, I know that to weaken an argument, alternative options that cause Y (in X --> Y) could work. I also know that if Y causes X, that also weakens it. I also know that if X causes the opposite desired effect of Y, that also weakens my argument. I also know that if there's not enough data or I can't prove Y, that also weakens the argument.
I am so surprised that no one has taken the time to split the different questions into different question types (correlation/causation, sampling vs. generalization, statistics, analogy, etc...) and shown how to solve them using similar approaches. By doing so, it makes it MUCH easier to learn the topics.
I've read Manhattan and I've tried TTP. Unfortunately I don't see any OG questions with real breakdowns by such frameworks that make our lives easier.
Why is that if I'm doing, let's say, an "averages" question, I can find a multitude of "average" solving math word-problems, but I can't find a database of correlation/causation questions and their answers using the same approach for the same type of question? It boggles my mind!
