hello all
I've been struggling with timing on the CR section for a long time. I need help regarding how to prepare practice sets for CR and improve in timing. I've already completed powerscore CR twice. Please let me know how did you all improve your timing on CR. I would like to know how you timed yourself, analyzed all the responses and prepared an error log. Also what would one include in CR ERROR LOG ( i mean what kinda stuff ).
Please need your suggestions because timing in CR is my major concern.

For your error log, I would note the source of your question, your answer, the correct answer, and then what subtopic (e.g. assumption, role of boldface, weaken, etc...)
The goal of the error log is to identify your weaknesses and have a centralized database so you can say "I know I need to improve on assumption questions, let me go relearn this problem type."
In terms of timing, I would shoot for 1 minute and 45 seconds. But definitely no more than 2 minutes per CR question. While SC tends to be quicker, RC tends to need more time, so you don't want to spend too much time per CR question.
If you are familiar with excel, a basic error log shouldn't be too hard to set up. However, there are also tons of different ones that you can download from GMAT Club.
Best of luck!

Hi Lucky009,
While CR represents a sizable number of questions in the Verbal section, there are usually fewer CR prompts on Test Day than there are SC or RC prompts. As such, I'm curious about how you're performing in the OVERALL Verbal section. It might be that your troubles with CR are linked to other areas.
1) How have you scored on your practice CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
2) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?
3) IR actually has a lot in common with CR. How do you score in the IR section?
4) How is your pacing in the Overall Verbal section? Do you have to rush through a bunch of questions (and quickly guess) just to finish?
5) How much time do you spend on an average CR prompt?
While CR might seem tough, it's a question type that's based on a consistent series of logic 'patterns' (there are even patterns to the wrong answers), so you CAN train to score at a higher level.
