Are these questions designed to take away substantial and inproportinate amounts of time because, unless there are other ways of doing them that are unbenounced to me, it seems to take a lot longer than other questions. I guess at that point you are forced to learn to answer other question types much quicker in order to compensate. Any tricks you guys have to offer on timing (in general, not necessarily these types of questions) because I need to cut mine down. Obviously doing more problems is helpful but I feel like when I do things enough, I find shotcuts, so to say, that help me understand things exponentially quicker and maybe one of you know stuff I don't. That'd be cool if anyone had tips. Thanks in advance I suppose?...dont want to seem to eager

    @kanye my biggest overall tip on timing is a bit counterintuitive: slow down, and take all the time you need to fully understand each argument and, depending on the question type, make a prediction about the what the correct answer will be before you even look at the answer choices. For this specific type of question, I would not try to make a prediction. But "sufficient assumption" questions are a great example of a question type where slowing down and making a prediction ahead of time makes going through the answer choices MUCH faster. Even thought I wouldn't make a prediction on a question like this, I would definitely take the time to create diagrams. For example answer choice (B) is correct because we can quickly tell from a diagram: DBAH ==> IP ==> NR ==> STI
