Man, I love TLS and you guys! Always great community and advice, much appreciate Iplaw. I think a technique like that could only help.34iplaw wrote:If you're cutting it close on time, you should probably eliminate ridiculous answers during the read through and maybe put a faint dot or indication of an answer choice on your scantron even if its just an arbitrary of the ones left that aren't absurd. That way in the unfortunate event you are out of time you can do much better than randomly guess.Barack O'Drama wrote:proteinshake wrote:I ALWAYS do them last in a section.Barack O'Drama wrote:OMG parallel flaws are the biggest time suck.

I HATE, again let me emphasize it, HATE parallel flaw/reasoning questions though. I always leave them for last in case I don't have time.proteinshake wrote:anyone else find Necessary Assumptions to be the hardest main LR question type? I think Flaws are the easiest.
Probably is the best way. I fear running to of time on LR because I know that with enough time I can usually go -4 or so and I'm hoping after some solid drilling and prep I can get that down to only -1 or -2. My problem is when I skip questions my brain keeps thinking about it and distracting me from moving forward... I need to break that habit and just skip, circle it, and move on and come back if there is time. Good call on that Protein!
Edit: Though, I know we all have the goal of finishing each section early with 100% confidence, so we can simply put our pencils down and gaze into the eyes of our rivals and strike fear into their hearts. Instill in them a sense of inadequacy. Their fingers will tremble as sweat drips from their furrowed brow onto their scantron smudging their answers.
Also, you are an awesome writer. I'm definitely going to need your expertise with my PS/DS..
