Critical Reasoning (CR)

After touching the other two topics topics in the verbal section i.e SENTENCE CORRECTION and READING COMPREHENSION, I suggest you to dwell into the Critical Reasoning. Although this section seems to be a little tough in the beginning, you ll be able to ace it with perfection. Since this is a subset of the Reading Comprehension, mastering Reading will help you a lot in CR.Typically, One paragraph will be given and one question will be asked on the para given.

There are a couple of strategies(which I ll discuss later) which help you get good results.To note a few, First read the question always before reading the paragraph. This helps you have an idea of what you are looking for in the paragraph. Then read the para, keeping in mind the question(look for what the question asks). Now the important part is : think of a possbile answer for the question i.e prephrase the answer beforehand. This greatly helps you in eliminating the answer optiosn that lie out of the scope.

After following the above methods, you ll eventually arrive at the best answer option. I ll discuss in detail some strategies later. Watch out for them. But one important point again. Take note of the exercises you've done. They help you a lot. Also learn to dominate the exam..you ll feel damn confident!!!
