Hello

I am scoring around 650-670 in my practice tests. I am looking for a score of 700+ because this is my third attempt. I will be giving my exam in July. I know that my weak area is verbal ( esp.Critical Reasoning). Even after nicely going through the Critical Reasoning ( White book - 1) I am not able to hit most of the questions correctly :(
PLease advice me further because I know that if I am able to improve my CR I will be able to make into 700range....
I stay in Milton Keynes, UK .Can you please also let me know the contact number for support ( number which I should dial from my mobile or landline ) to seek help.I have been trying the numbers but not able to speak to an expert.

Looking forward for reply.

Hi Raina,

What really worked for me when I was studying CR was to spend a lot of time analyzing the incorrect answer choices. I found that I learned a lot more from knowing why the wrong answers were wrong than I did from knowing why the right answer was right. Eventually, you should begin to see patterns and quickly eliminate blatantly wrong answers.

Another quick fix might be to focus on the scope of the argument. Many times, you can arrive at the right answer simply by understanding the scope, and eliminating answers that are outside of it.

As for the phone number, did you try the international help line? The number is (310) 456-8716.

Hope this helps!
