I agree just labeling them with letters then going answer hunting is by far the easiest way. I am at 2.5 minutes, but that is already down from the first question.
Tip that has worked for me: tie the concepts together. 15 cents becomes laboratory, 10 cents becomes normal classroom. Read the conclusion of the answer and then match it to the stimulus
Look at individual lines answer by answer. If the logic/wording doesnt match, eliminate it. If the wording doesnt mostly match the prompt, it is probably wrong, if it does, it is probably right. This process can usually be done pretty quickly.
Tip that I found. Cycle through the choices analyzing just ONE portion of the logic at a time. I found this to be much faster than doing each answer choice one at a time. I was able to get to the right answer purely by identifying that E had an identical "conclusion structure" as the stimulus being, "if not result of X, then result of Y".
As part of my shallow dip, I'm going through with the highlighter and highlighting any quantifiers I see (when the stim uses quantifiers). This makes it so much easier to identify the argument structure quickly

I am getting all of these wrong. Great way to end the course!
unbearable question type ngl
Took me 8 minutes but I got the right answer LOL
god this is like a matching game , i like to label my premises with letters then match it to the answer choice got it right in 2 minutes

I got so nervous that it took me 18 min to solve the question haha
2 in a row 🤩
This is the sexiest question type of the entire section.

I ATE this question
Not sure if this will help anyone, but I answered this quickly doing a VERY shallow (maybe oversimplied) dip:
.
It's either this or that (but not both).
It's not this.
-------------------------------------
Therefore, it's that.
.
It's either 10 cents (normal classroom) or 15 cents (lab)
It's not 10 cents (normal classroom).
-------------------------------------
Therefore, it's 15 cents (lab).
@Lexxe This breakdown was very helpful!
another one thank you
wow I'm getting these questions right, but it is taking me like 5 min... just need to practice speed
same here do you have any tips for getting faster at parallel analogy questions?

I might be on team skip these for my test
me too
finding out a minute into the question that every answer had the same exact first sentance was a pleasent suprise
#feedback These questions were challenging during my diagnostic, but the last few vids have immensely cleared up how to tackle these
My process:
9-5 --> 15
other --> 10
Concludes:
10--> 15Translates into:
A --> B
C --> D
Concludes: /D --> B
Answer E shows this exact pattern. The rest either confuse D and B's order or something else is wrong.
Wouldn't it be better to translate it as:
A --> B
/A --> C
therefore: /C --> B
Yes.
I am actually pretty good with these questions. They do take a fatty minute to think about, but I am so slay. I can do anything!
These questions are a huge time sink.
I can feel new folds forming in my brain because of these questions
@PizzaDog neuron activation or neuron deactivation?
@MissProsecutor yes
how the hell do i do this faster
Took too long to realize that all the premises were the same.
this is for sure my least favorite so far
2x the allocated time but I got it right.

I just wonder if they may throw us a contrapositive to make that structure look a little different but mean the same.
im getting these questions right but its taking me 3-4 min LOL

Use the short dip analysis! Don't fully analyze every single one, hunt for the first tip that would tell you the answer is wrong
