HOW WILL THIS SESSION BENEFIT YOU?

Higher accuracy

After learning about the correct approach and common pitfalls, you’ll see at least some instant improvement in your accuracy level after the session. However, as you internalize the learnings from the session and apply them, your accuracy level will keep rising.

Higher confidence

After the session, you’ll not be satisfied with marking answers by hunch. This session will arm you with the correct approach and relevant concepts to understand precisely why the wrong option is wrong and the correct choice is correct. With clarity in your mind, your confidence level will increase tremendously.

Lower time to answer

As your understanding and confidence increases, you’ll notice that you are taking lesser and lesser time to answer CR questions.

HOW WILL YOU LEARN?

Concepts

The session will explain the key concepts using simple examples so that you understand the core of the concept. The concepts that will be taught in this manner include:

1. 3-step process for answering “Strengthen” questions
2. How to create strengtheners around assumptions

Application

More than 90% of the session time will be devoted in applying the concepts.
We will discuss 5-6 full length “Strengthen”questions, most of them 700+ level. Each question is cherry picked on the basis of two criteria:

1. How the correct choice strengthens the given argument
2. How the incorrect option statements are built to confuse students. Every question will have at least one answer choice that will confuse most students.
3. You will learn that in most official questions, the concept of a “weak” and “strong” strengthener does not exist.

You will first attempt each of the questions above on your own and possibly fall into traps designed by the question makers.

We’ll then discuss the question in details using our standard process for solving CR questions. Since the standard process involves prethinking, we’ll also learn how to prethink assumptions and how to create strengtheners around assumptions.

We’ll not only discuss the argument and the option statements but also explain how the correct strengthener strengthens the argument and how the question maker has specifically designed traps in incorrect option statements. Probably, your biggest learning will come from our latter explanations.

To make the session lively and participative, we’ll use lot of communication features including chat window, polls, Q&A pod, notes pane, presentation and annotations.

Concepts

The session will explain the key concepts using simple examples so that you understand the core of the concept. The concepts that will be taught in this manner include:

1. 3-step process for answering “Weaken” questions
2. How to create weakeners around assumptions

Application

More than 90% of the session time will be devoted in applying the concepts.
We will discuss 5-6 full length “Weaken” questions, most of them 700+ level. Each question is cherry picked on the basis of two criteria:

1. How the correct choice Weakens the given argument
2. How the incorrect option statements are built to confuse students

You will first attempt each of the questions above on your own and possibly fall into traps designed by the question makers.

We’ll then discuss the question in details using our standard process for solving CR questions. Since the standard process involves prethinking, we’ll also learn how to prethink assumptions and how to create Weakeners around assumptions.
