Should I focus more on Critical Reasoning or Reading Comprehension in the last two weeks, and what resources can help the most?

Question

B.K Sharma · Accepted Answer

In the final two weeks, the focus should depend on where accuracy breaks down under time pressure. For most test-takers, Critical Reasoning improves faster with targeted drills, while Reading Comprehension needs more stamina and structure practice.
If accuracy in CR is below 70%, prioritize it. Use GMAT Club&rsquo;s filter to drill assumption, weaken, and inference questions&mdash;those dominate the section. Practice in sets of 10, and log every error by type.
For RC, if the issue is slow reading or confusion in tone/inference questions, switch to LSAT RC passages from RC99 or LSAT Demon. Practice summarizing each paragraph in 4&ndash;5 words and locating answers without rereading.
Don&rsquo;t split time 50&ndash;50 unless both sections are equally weak. The last two weeks are about tightening what&rsquo;s already familiar. Focused improvement beats equal effort.

Both CR and RC matter, but Critical Reasoning is easier to improve quickly, especially in the last two weeks. It&rsquo;s rule-based and benefits from repetition. Reading Comprehension, on the other hand, takes longer to shift because it&rsquo;s tied to reading habits.
For CR: Use GMAT Ninja&rsquo;s YouTube series or Powerscore CR Bible (select chapters). Drill by question type&mdash;assumption, strengthen, weaken. After each set, write out why each wrong answer was wrong.
For RC: Focus on high-density passages like those in LSAT RC sets. RC99 has plenty of long, tricky ones that sharpen structural reading. Practice answering by scanning, not rereading.
Time management: Mix in 45-minute Verbal sections twice a week. Review which section&mdash;CR or RC&mdash;costs more time or accuracy.
Final tip: Mentr Me&rsquo;s GMAT resources include topic-wise drills for both CR and RC. Focus more on the section where you&rsquo;re making repeated errors on familiar question types&mdash;that&rsquo;s where improvement comes fastest.
