What should I do to improve CR? 06 Mar 2016, 06:27

Hi

I started preparing 2 months back and my test date in in 2 weeks.

When I first gave mock, I was shocked at my verbal score (verbal was always my strength). More shocked as most of the wrong ones were SC. I started scouring through MGMAT SC and it helped me (I had previously used Powerscore SC and it didnt help). MGMAT SC was definitely good. Today I gave a mock and I got 1 SC wrong and 2 RC wrong but 8 CR wrong. 8!!!!

How do improve on CR? I studied CR from Powerscore CR bible. 8 wrong is giving me nightmares.

Please help me to improve my CR even a bit in 2 weeks.

Hi MathildaBagshot,

What is your accuracy in the official questions from the GMAC resources?

Since you have just 2 weeks left for the test, the best way to improve your CR is by practising and pre-thinking.
Find out the type of problems that trouble you and then practise from the Official Questions.

Divide the problems into types: Strengthen, Weaken, Bold face, Inference ,Assumption and see which type is troubling you.

Is this a pattern that you've seen over multiple tests?

That looks like a decent accuracy and with some focussed practise in the last 2 weeks, you can certainly improve.
Also make sure that you solve all the questions that you got wrong in the OG again.
