Test Takers who read the arguments and reached aimlessly into the answer choices without any further thought gets puzzled and they spend a lot of time on CR questions.

The best thing to do is try to find out the assumption of the argument, undercutting the assumption of an argument is the best way to strengthen or weaken it. By finding the assumption, you may find the flaw of the argument. Try to formulate the task in your own word

For Example:

1. What type of information do I need to find for this CR question type?
2. What type of analysis will I need to do on that information?
3. What characteristics should I expect of the appropriate answer?
