Before anyone insists that I use the search function, understand that's its been "temporarily disabled" (for me at least).

Just out of curiosity, what is the Logic Reasoning Question Type that gives you the most difficulty? For me, it's Strengthen questions, and I can't seem to figure out why. Anyone want to share strategies on how to better approach this type? Or like to share which type is hardest (or, most annoying) to them?

I, like many people, have problems with Parallel Reasoning. Weaken questions also seem to give me problems.

Parallel Reasoning is a thorn in my side. While I significantly improved and was doing better on them after the LRB chapter on them, I seem to have regressed slightly. However, I'm now usually getting the "easier" PR questions correct, even if I still struggle on the harder ones, so that's progress, I suppose.

Other than that, I find inference questions are giving me a bit of trouble. Sometimes weaken questions are difficult.

The more abstract answer choices take awhile for me to plow through, even if I don't have too much trouble answering them correctly. You know, the method of reasoning or whatever where they use complicated language to describe the method. It gets easier the more frequently you read that kind of question, but it takes a bit of time.

I really enjoy role of statement in the argument questions now.
