I think practice is the most important thing.. try to solve at least 20 -25 CRs everyday and try to understand the answers, even if get the answer right try to find why other answers are wrong..

It is most important that you read the passage correctly, if you have analyzed the passage as you read it, it wouldn't be difficult to spot the answer, you can do so with a single glance in most cases.

As you read the passage, try to identify and keep in mind the premise, evidence that supports the premise, conclusion or judgement and try to analyze the the gap between the premise and the conclusion..

Also another important thing, don't over analyze what the questions says, try to stay within the realm of what the passage says. Don't try to infer anything from the passage based on your real world experience. In most cases this tendency does slow down people. for example if the passage says " the egg rolled over the table and fell down" all you can infer from that is that "egg rolled over the table and fell down" and not "egg fell down and broke".

Try to incorporate the following in your technique. It helps me a lot.

1) Read the question first to stay focused on what's important.
2) While reading the passage, identify the conclusion, premises & gaps between the premises.

What have you done to increase your CR speed? I'm [#permalink]
One thing that can help your CR (and Verbal in general) is developing your solving approach. It's perhaps one of the most popular things I get approached for in terms of tutoring.

Another thing is adopting certain techniques. For CR, for example, learning the Negation Method for assumption questions can be pretty helpful.
