A
B
C
D
E

Dawgie · Answer

I don't see sketches for SC, but I hear people do them for CR.

kissthegmat · Answer

Yes, people do prefer diagram for CR in the way MGMAT teach but personally I don't see any use of drawing a diagram on GMAT. It's time consuming for me. It's better to use your mind to remember some details than drawing...

vwjetty · Answer

ill agree with that. and even some of the RC (the shorter ones) i feel like I dont need to do draw or write anything as it is just a waste of time. Maybe for some of the longer ones that contain more detail I would write something down to just remember wherever it is and I sometimes and maybe can come back and see it and be of use.

shaselai · Answer

if you list the answer choices like : a,b,c,d,e i would suggest you doing it during the intro period. the intro is like 5 mins or so - thats enough to get some listing down for SC,CR or even DS problems.

Personally I don't like the diagramming strategy that MGMAT CR suggests since I find it too time consuming. As others have mentioned, I use the Powerscore CR strategy and write down

A
B
C
D
E
 
and cross out each one that I think is wrong.

For RC, perhaps analyzing the key purpose, structure and argument of the passage would be ideal.
