Overview
Critical Reasoning & Reading Comprehension (1 of the 7 books in Manhattan GMAT's Preparation Guide series) illustrates how to deconstruct arguments and reading passages using innovative diagramming techniques designed to build speed and improve accuracy. Students learn the underlying structures of arguments and passages in order to facilitate quick reading and precise analysis. The book offers a unique balance between two competing emphases: test-taking strategies and in-depth content understanding. Practice problem- sets build specific foundational skills in each topic and include the most advanced content that many other prep books ignore.
