Powerscore CR or Manhattan CR 17 Sep 2013, 04:32

HI,

I had previously gone through Powerscore CR which my friend recommended and recently I came across the Manhattan CR guide. After I went through the first 2 chapters of Manhattan guide, I found that the 2 books have a major difference in method of analysing a CR!!

Powerscore method says that we should first read the argument and then the question stem, but Manhattan method states that we need to first read the Question stem and then the argument.

This has left me in a dilemma and my GMAT date is fast approaching(<15 days) and CR is one of my weak areas... :( Can anyone guide me as to which is the better book?

Thanks in advance,
Karthik

There is nothing better than Powerscore CR If you have the time and the patience to read it.
