How to Tackle GMAT Verbal: Critical Reasoning Made Simple

GMAT Verbal

Critical Reasoning questions in the GMAT Verbal section can feel daunting, but they’re manageable with a structured approach. As an elite NYC tutor, I’ve guided students to master these questions. Here’s how you can simplify Critical Reasoning:

  • Identify the Question Type: Common types include strengthen, weaken, assumption, and inference. Knowing the type helps you focus on what’s needed.
  • Break Down the Argument: Find the conclusion, evidence, and any assumptions. This structure is key to answering correctly.
  • Pre-Think Answers: Before looking at options, predict what the correct answer might be. This reduces confusion from tricky choices.
  • Eliminate Wrong Answers: Rule out options that are irrelevant, too extreme, or don’t address the question’s focus.
  • Practice with Variety: Solve questions from different topics to build flexibility and confidence under test conditions.
