I did some assumption questions (went through their theory) yet i only got 20% correct.
When I did easy and medium question on OG, i got 19 questions out of 20 correct. I'm not sure if I'm interpreting them egmat cr questions incorrectly (the writing seems off compared to the OG questions I've done) so can anyone offer some advice?
their pre thinking and other concepts like mapping out the passage are great. I only have an issue with their examples. They seem very different.
Any other natives share their experience?
One example of the issue:
Your question says
"The most expensive shirt at Macy's department store is blue in color and costs $90."
So we can safely say the most expensive shirt is blue and can be no other color but blue, and costs $90 (no more no less)
Then you say we can infer that "Every red shirt at Macy's costs no more than $90". This can never be possible based on the statement earlier. This statement implies that it could be less than 90 OR 90 exactly. This clearly is illogical as we already know that the most expensive shirt is $90 and blue. A red shirt can never cost $90.
No more than means < or = to. So this breaks the logic. We cannot clearly infer this but your guide says we can infer this.
This is the problem I am talking about, there is a lot of flawed logic in the questions.
Please can you answer this question here.

Hey mrcentauri,
Thanks for being an e-GMAT member! If you have used the platform for more than a month, I'm sure we have 100+ feedback points about your prep that can help us single out your weaknesses and help recommend the best fix. As for the quizzes, the OGs comprise primarily of Easy and Medium difficulty level problems, with only ~10% problems approaching the Hard difficulty level. The difference in performance could partly be explained by the difference in difficulty level of the quiz (about ~35% of Scholaranium problems are of Hard difficulty).
Again, this is just a shallow, surface-level analysis and we would truly like to help you identify the specific challenges holding back your CR prep and help design exercises to crush CR in no time. Please write to us at support@e-gmat.com referencing this conversation and our team will have a solution ready the same day.
Best,
Shaarang
