Winners' Guide to GMAT Critical Reasoning - eBook
This book is an absolute MUST if you want to ensure a perfect CR score.
This book is an absolute MUST if you want to ensure a perfect CR score.
It is not uncommon to see a GMAT students vociferously justify their answer choice in the
Critical Reasoning section – when, of course, their choice is incorrect.
This happens much more frequently in the Critical Reasoning section of the GMAT, than in any
other section.
And one of the primary reasons for that is assumptions.
When we are reading a short passage packed with information, it is easy to start making
assumptions. While some of these assumptions are pertinent, others shift the scope.
This shift in scope often leads us to the ‘logically correct’ answer choice which is actually wrong.
So how do you avoid making assumptions?
How do you stay within scope?
How do you avoid falling into traps that the test makers lay for you?
Perhaps more so than for any other question type on the GMAT, preparing for Critical
Reasoning questions involves developing critical thinking skills—rather than rote practice.
Unfortunately, short of enrolling for a formal‘Critical Thinking’ course, there is no easy way to
develop these skills from ground up.
This was till the ‘Winners’ Guide to GMAT Critical Reasoning’ came along.
This book will build your Critical Reasoning Skills from the ground up.
It will give you a deep background on how to think logically, how to identify faults in
your thinking patterns, the role of logic in critical thinking & how to develop it, and
much more…

This eBook will build your Critical Reasoning skills from the ground up, enable you to identify

Section.
Critical Reasoning on the GMAT consists of about 14 questions. These normally comprise a
short passage with a question at the end of it.
This short passage can be an argument, a dialog or even an advertisement.
The question will typically test your understanding of the argument by asking you to either
strengthen/weaken it, identify the core assumptions, draw an inference or identify the
relationship between different parts.
To be able to do this in under two minutes, and with accuracy can be daunting task.
And this is where the ‘Winners’ Guide to GMAT Critical Reasoning’ comes in.
