Write a similar problem:
Critical Reasoning
1) Write down the notes you SHOULD have put down notes that would have been fast &
easy to do, and that would have captured the gist of the argument.
2) Figure out if you could have predicted anything about the right answer from the
argument before looking at the choices. What kind of problem is it?
3) For each answer choice, explain why it is right or wrong (in a few words only). Can you
describe how the argument is constructed and how the right answer fits into it (or does
not for except questions)?
Reading Comprehension
1) Write down the notes you SHOULD have put down notes that would have been fast &
easy to do, and that would have captured the gist of the passage.
2) For specific questions: write down the keywords, the proof sentence(s), and the simple
notes you should have taken on the proof sentence(s) to make the thought portable (so
that you could eliminate answer choices holding the correct idea in your head).
3) For all questions: explain why each answer choice is right or wrong (in a few words
only). What tricks did the test writers embed to throw you off for instance, red herring
key words, or synonym switches to disguise the truth?
