QuestionPosted by 170_or_bust2d ago

What's your weakest question type and how are you attacking it?

Mine is Parallel Reasoning. I can identify the structure but I run out of time trying to match it across 5 answer choices. Feels like each one takes me 3+ minutes. What's everyone else struggling with and what are you doing about it?

Necessary Assumption. I get what its asking but when i look at the answers i cant tell which one actually closes the gap vs which one just sounds related. drilling them but honestly not seeing improvement yet. maybe i just dont understand what necessary actually entails in this context. necessary for the argument to be true?

Try negating the answer choices. If the negation destroys the argument, that's your answer.

It is never about "truth" with the actual argument. The NA has to be true for the argument to be valid.

Strengthen/Weaken. I pick the answer that's on topic instead of the one that actually affects the argument. My brain just latches onto familiar words.

parallel reasoning here too. started writing out the logic chain before looking at answers instead of trying to hold it in my head. slower but my accuracy went way up

Must Be True. I keep picking what's probably true instead of what's literally supported. Getting burned by the same trap over and over.

Flaw. I always seem to pick a flaw, just not THE flaw
