GMAT CR Method of Reasoning questions ask you to recognize the pattern of thought an argument uses, such as how it draws conclusions, uses evidence, responds to objections, or builds comparisons. These critical reasoning questions help you see not just what the argument says but how it is structured and why it works the way it does. Strong familiarity with this question type is an essential part of any comprehensive GMAT preparation course. This page offers you an organized subtopic wise playlist, along with a few worked examples, for efficient preparation of this concept.

Overview and Approach for Method-of-Reasoning CR Questions

Method-of-reasoning questions ask you to recognize how an argument is constructed. In GMAT Critical Reasoning, they form an important part of GMAT preparation because they test both your logical skills and your sensitivity to structure. Unlike strengthen, weaken, or inference questions, which focus on supporting or challenging a conclusion, method-of-reasoning questions require you to see how the author or speaker arranges the ideas and connects the steps in the argument. In the following short video, the method is laid out, shown on GMAT style questions, and readied for use in your drills, sectional tests, and full-length GMAT practice tests.

Similar Reasoning CR Questions

Similar Reasoning questions ask you to recognize and match the structure of an argument. Begin by reading the question stem, then break the argument into premise, assumption, and conclusion, and capture this pattern in a brief template before you look at the options. Next, compare each choice to see which one follows the same underlying skeleton while setting aside surface details. This overview presents a disciplined habit of analytical reading that supports GMAT preparation and also strengthens your ability to assess analogies in essays and interviews throughout the MBA admissions process. The short video below helps you settle this idea firmly and demonstrates how the GMAT may test it.

Finding the Flaw in Reasoning CR Questions

Flaw questions center on understanding why a conclusion fails to follow logically from its premises. This overview presents a structured way to approach them: read the question stem first, lay out the premise and conclusion, and then check for familiar error patterns such as weak analogy, false either–or choices, unsupported assumptions, treating correlation as causation, circular reasoning, and ignored alternatives. The video introduces quick diagnostic checks, while the article develops these ideas further with examples and guiding cues. The following short video presents this concept in a relaxed, clear style and shows how it can appear on the GMAT.

How and Where to Practice GMAT Functions Questions

Real practice for Functions problems begins when you solve them on a software simulation that closely matches the official GMAT interface. You need a platform that presents the question stem and the function definition or expression in a GMAT like layout, lets you work with the inputs, outputs, and answer choices naturally, and provides all the on screen tools and functionalities that you will see on the actual exam. Without this kind of experience, it is difficult to feel fully prepared for test day. High quality Functions questions are not available in large numbers. Among the limited, genuinely strong sources are the official practice materials released by GMAC and the Experts’ Global GMAT course.

Within the Experts’ Global GMAT online preparation course, every Functions problem appears on an exact GMAT like user interface that includes all the real exam tools and features. You work through more than 300 Functions questions in quizzes and also take 15 full length GMAT mock tests that include several Functions questions in roughly the same spread and proportion in which they appear on the actual GMAT.

All the best!
