Hi
VeritasKarishmaHere is a tricky one
Most of the students preparing for GMAT jump to
OG /
OG VR after studying
from books (read
power score CR bible / Manhattan CR) or after viewing 2-3 hours
of 'how to approach CR qs' from online courses. Unfortunately, it is quite practical
that not all students are able to achieve desired accuracy (read 80% and higher) on official
qs and falter in applying what they learnt.
In such a scenario, if a student has an exceptional memory by which he/she recalls OE/OA,
do you think it is a wise decision to move to LSAT to erase
OG memory and
come back to those qs within a fortnight? What best tactics can be used by a student
under the current situation and time crunch?
Hey adkikani,
Anytime!

Here is how I suggest one should carry out the CR prep:
Use a CR curriculum to understand the basics and then use the practice questions of the test prep company to really drill down on the application of these basics. Understand the question types thoroughly with about 10-12 examples for each. Complete all the practice questions available in the curriculum. If the curriculum does not provide enough practice questions, use the forum to practice questions of other test prep companies.
Thereafter, switch to the official material -
OG and
OG Verbal. Try to answer the questions at a good pace. While reviewing, take your time and go into detail for each option. Take 2-3 mins to answer the question but at least 5-6 mins to review it post answering.
Take a couple of practice tests in timed conditions and see how you perform. Again review all questions thoroughly after the test.
If you still need practice questions but have run out of all official questions, LSAT questions is an option. But, one needs to be careful while using them. Not all are GMAT relevant.
Also, GMAT Prep question pack and additional 4 practice tests are great sources of additional practice questions.
