Start with Powerscore CR Bible.
Solve all questions related to the chapters you complete on grockit.com. Spend more time but try to get the question right at first, later speed will improve automatically.
Then move on to solving different variety of questions from Kaplan, 1001CR (https://1001cr.blocked), ManhattanGMAT Critical Reasoning book questions.

Once all these are done you can try some LSAT Logical Reasoning questions for more expertise. I think these resources are more than sufficient for GMAT CR.

Not to forget this CR forum on beatthegmat is really great for different types of CR questions.

In the end, approaching GMAT appointment, i would suggest you stick to Official Guide, Official Verbal guide for the last few days.

Not sure how far you've gone in your CR prep, but here are some tips.

1. Learn all CR question types and be comfortable with identifying them
> I think there's an acronym out there for all GMAT question types

2. Develop short strategies for tackling each question type
> e.g assumption, strengthen/weaken = find conclusion! find gap in reasoning!

3. Practice, Practice, Practice
> That's what we do here on BeatTheGMAT! Great resource!

Powerscore CR Bible seems to be the consensus comprehensive guide out there. Especially if you are just beginning your CR studies. I also like MGMAT CR's coverage of the Assumption question type.

Good Luck!
