Hi
I need some help in tackling Strengthening questions in CR.
I do understand the concept and am able to find the assumptions in most cases but when it comes to finding the strengtheners I'm not feeling confident.
I have gone through OG and e-gmat CR-Strengthening yet I'm not feeling very confident.
Any tips are welcome.
Thanks
Saumya

Hi Saumya,
In general terms, the correct answer to a Strengthen CR will provide some type of additional information that affirms/confirms the ideas in the prompt. In many cases, the correct answer will involve some new 'data' that confirms the logic the author is using. In rarer cases, the correct answer will 'remove' alternative possibilities/explanations from the discussion (which, by extension, strengthens the validity of the author's logic).
1) Are 'strengthen' questions the only types of CR prompt that you're having trouble with? How well do you do on 'weaken' questions or other CR question types?

Hi Saumya,
For CR, we recommend a visual framework approach to help you understand the complex short passages and how each item relates to each other.
Here is a video describing the visual framework approach for strengtheners: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... stion/1172
Best of luck on your studies!
