These are ideal and generalized, but they're decent heuristics. Obviously, this doesn’t happen all (or even most) of the time.
For LR, easy questions - anywhere from 30-50 seconds, medium questions - below 1:20. Hard questions - :30 seconds, then s…

Should I skip them base on their length?
When I mean skip questions, I mean read them and decide somewhere in the reading of that question that your time could be spent best elsewhere. I’m not sure if question length is the bes…
I think what @runiggyrun says is excellent advice, but I’d also advise skipping about 5-8 questions, depending on your average score (If you’re averaging -12 on RC, then planning on skipping 2 questions per section will give you more time to get to …
How long does it take you to read a passage?
Are you skipping questions? You must skip questions. If you’re not getting to an entire passage, I’d encourage skipping up to 5 questions per section.

It won’t be like that per se. However, there might be answers that LOOK like that but, upon closer inspection, are messing with the relation of the necessary/sufficiency condition.
The big category is sufficiency-necessity confusion. Logically it’s all the same.

The first statement splits the world of environmental problems in two: the ones caused by government mismanagement and the rest of them.
FTW. Nicely done!
Here’s my answer explanation to the question for what it’s worth. Please feel free to offer criticism or clarification:
This is an SA question:

@Elle2015 If this were a necessary assumption question, then I think you’d be on to something, employing the negation test. But this is a sufficient assumption question. So we need an answer that will make the argument valid.
I think the first sentence is an embedded conditional. I translated that first sentence of the stimulus to “If there’s a solution to any environmental problem and it’s not caused by government mismanagement, then it requires major changes in consume…
If you have to ask, you know the answer. Confidence is such an important aspect of doing well on this test. Keep at it for four more months, and gain that much-needed confidence.
Doh!

Think about it!
I was so focused on the task at hand, negating statements, that I really wasn’t paying to the conclusion. Yeah, the negation would only weaken the argument, not kill it outright. +1 to you @Alejandro
Good work, @MrSamlam.
