Ask me Anything about GMAT Critical Reasoning
Hello GMAT Club users,
My name is David, nice to meet you
I am a senior tutor at examPAL and have been in the test-prep business for years.
This thread is the place for you to ask me anything about CR - from 'how should I approach a question' to 'why is this answer correct' to general tips on the topic you find most difficult.
To start off, the Most Important CR tip:
Think before looking at the answer choices!
The general structure for solving a CR question is almost always
1. Break the passage down into its logical components.
2. Use your skills of deduction to infer what the answer choice 'looks like' (what pieces of information it contains, what the logic between the different parts should be)
3. Go to the answer choices and see if your predicted answer choice, or something very similar to it, is there.
4. If you like, also skim over the other options to make sure there isn't something 'better'.
Note that step 2 shouldn't tell you the exact answer - its goal is to narrow your search space so you can ignore all irrelevant information and focus only on the important bits. Otherwise, the vast majority of students end up wasting most of their time reading the different options, thinking about each, and becoming very confused.
Best of luck to everyone on their GMAT and remember - the GMAT is just a stepping stone! What is it you actually want to achieve?
See you in the CR forums,
David.

If someone woke you up in the middle of the night, and said: "Quick! What's the one thing I need to know about solving the CR section?" - what would you say?
This is how I would answer this question:
What do you think about this tip? What have your experiences been? And what would you say is the most important CR tip you've come across?

Hie David,
I have problem in understanding the passage I guess.
I watched the video that you have mentioned and found that my problem is the passage understanding because in some of the problem I cannot prethink.
So can you suggest how to improve passage understanding . I read in other forums to read the economist gmat and some megazines but how that can improve my understanding ?
