I think sage corey has an informative webinar on when to diagram in LR. A big one that he stressed is to check if there are overlapping variables. And how long the conditional chain is
If they are heavy in logic that can be diagramed then I usually do (if it has a crap ton of most, some, only, etc statements). But if they aren't heavy in them, then no I usually don't.
Though it's more ideal to be able to not diagram on those questions, when I have the urge to diagram during timed, I sometimes diagram on the questions by underlining words and drawing arrows to indicate conditionality. Saves time.
Yeah, exactly. Not ideal, but when you're learning, I feel like it's a pretty important step to skip.
I also do something similar to this to save time. I think it's a great idea and skill set to remain flexible.

So how do you suggest we improve on them? There are too many "if this then this" to remember.
How to improve on MBTs? A really good understanding of the conditional logic is imperative. Like I said, diagramming the questions is also a helpful practice.
Have you watched all of the MBT/conditional logic lessons on 7Sage?
I am learning MBT Questions. JY uses diagrams. Should we, too?
To learn them and to review them during BR, yes. I tend not to on most during actual PTs, but when I was first learning them and even now for harder/longer/ MBTs, I still diagram.
