Product Description for GMAT Critical Reasoning Grail

The only book you need to ace the GMAT Critical reasoning

From the back cover of the book

The GMAT Critical Reasoning Grail spans more than 240 pages and helps you master Critical Reasoning on the GMAT in a systematic way. The book firstly builds a strong foundation by discussing the basics of Critical Reasoning and then addresses each question type in-depth. It then goes a step further and provides you 100 practice questions for intensive practice. Like the Sentence Correction Grail, the Critical Reasoning Grail is written in an engaging manner and will equip you with all the skills that you need to tackle Critical Reasoning questions confidently.

How is this book superior to any other book for Critical Reasoning?

• Contains the most up-to-date content for Critical Reasoning. For example, while other books focus on Main Point questions, these question types rarely appear on the GMAT now. Similarly question types such as logically complete the passage, which are increasingly being tested on the GMAT, find no mention in other books, whereas the CR Grail has an entire chapter that discusses this question type.
• Helps you master Critical Reasoning in a step-by-step manner, using jargon free language
• Does not make you dependent on the diagrammatic approach.
• The only book that provides you 100 Critical Reasoning Questions for practice

Most Up-to-date Content - Most of the content and all the practice questions in the CR Grail have been created after the launch of the Official Guide 13th edition. In fact, our team used the OG13 as a reference point when deciding which aspects of CR to focus on in the book. For example, other GMAT critical reasoning books cover pages discussing Main point questions but these rarely appear on the GMAT now. In fact the OG 13th ed does not contain any such questions.
Similarly question types such as Logically complete the passage, which are increasingly being tested on the GMAT; find no mention in other critical reasoning books, whereas in the CR Grail we have dedicated an entire chapter to discussing this question type.

So the CR Grail is the closest representation you can get of the kind of questions and topics tested on GMAT CR at the moment. Meaning oriented approach - A major grouse that students have against most of the Critical Reasoning books is that these books use complicated diagrams/symbols/jargon to explain CR arguments. In one such book, an entire chapter has been devoted to just explaining what these symbols stand for.

While it is true that most CR arguments follow a basic structure, the stress always has to be on grasping the meaning of the argument. If you look at arguments very mechanically you will never be able to understand the hidden nuances that are present in difficult arguments.
