Formal Logic

Hello MGMAT Instructors,

Can you please characterize the GMAT CR Question Types that use formal logic and those that do not?

Regards

Although you may be able to use elements of formal logic in some CR problems of any type, you will find that formal logic is not a significant part of this test the way it is on the LSAT. CR on the GMAT is much more about thinking skills and common sense than it is about being able to translate into p's and q's.
