hi...i need major help and advice here...i just started out with my prep have gone thru manhattan RC and powerscore CR. RC is fine ...but after having finished the bible i was very confident about the concepts and the approach that had to be taken but when i tried the questions from OG verbal review it was only a 50% success rate... 
i m really disappointed and confused and dont know how to modify my approach....as i did the questions i did realize that i was having trouble recognising the kind of question and also the time constraint seemed a lil too much...but even without the timing it didnt do much good...also it was one particular kind of question that i kept getting wrong but was actually random....how can i etch the concepts in my head...i really really need a good score..and at this rate i think it be 10 yrs before i get to that :p
plz help!...wasnt sure where to post this messg so if you think its out of place kindly move it ...thnx!

Rejoice that your RC is good - that's very hard to master.
CR can be tricky, esp if you are not thinking the same way the test creator does/did - the key to cracking it is going back and painstakingly reviewing every question you missed or got right by accident. Mark every question you miss and do it over in a week or so, make sure you get it right and notice that subtle difference. Let every error be a scar on your face - as glaring and as memorable.
There are patterns to mistakes/logic in CR - you need to know all of them.
Also, you need to expect the answer choices - are you doing that? Are you answering the question without reading the answer choices?
There is really a ton to learn and you may need to go through the PowerScore CR bible the second time, make notes, and do it very carefully.
That's my 2 cents.

hmmm....i think u r rite...i am not stopping to think thru the answer and jump straight to the answer choices...i know everyone has there own way of solving a qs but is there a generic step by step process....for an argument i pick out the premise and conculsion...read the question...at times have to go back to the stimulus and read it in light of the qs...then go straight to the answers...is that rite? i feel i m losing time like that coz i m reading the stimulus twice!! at times also i feel its easy to eliminate the choices but then at others i m just clueless abt all the options.......................aaah need major overhaul!!!
amazing how it works. 
will keep that in mind thanks 
will keep u posted on the progress
