Need help! Speed issue on MBT/Parrallel type LR :(

yanqx2000

Currenly I have around -6 on LR section under time constraint, but after BR I can get to around -2. I realized the mistakes I can easily fixed and most time even marked is when I encounter MBT or Parrallel questions types which uses formal logic and for me requires diagraming as I am not used to formal logic yet.

I understand maybe to improve the speed on these questions requires time and practice but I also realize when I translate them into formal logic, they start to look like math to me and the meaning is lost. I do get the question right but I am worried with that my intuition will never get trained and I always have to waste time to translate those into math & diagram to get them correct, which might result in not finishing the section.

So my question is just on how I should practice those questions? Should I continue to diagram out each time, and my intuition will actaully grow with it? Or should I start trying out diagraming out in my head and apply more meaning to it? Would it faster for some people to actually diagram out during the actual exam?

Thank you for answering in advance.

I'm a low 160s scorer and I still diagram anything conditional. It takes some time but you end up saving time because, when you finish the diagram, you hunt for the correct must be true or must be false answer choice. You dont need to read every answer choice at that point.

In conclusion, you can continue to diagram anything conditional and still answer the question faster than the 7sage target times. It's just a matter of how fast you can find the right answer and move on once the diagram is finished
