I have been using the AI agent on 7sage to analyze my tests and tell me what question types I should focus on. It has become quite apparent where I am lacking. In my last PT I missed 26 LR questions and 22 of them were from causal reasoning and conditional logic. I have been trying to focus my study on these question types but to no success. I do not know what the disconnect is. Is there a trick or a way to get better at these question types. Not sure what to do, I am at a loss.

What helped me with conditional reasoning was restating If-Then stamens in different ways and learning the difference between if, only if, and if and only if.
For Example:
Rule 1: If you use Kryptonite, then Superman will die.
This can be rewritten to say “Superman will die if you use Kryptonite” but that’s not to say Superman WON’T die if you do use Kryptonite.
Compare that to Rule 2
Rule 2: Only if you use Kryptonite will Superman die.
Now, this means that Kryptonite is required to kill Superman but it doesn’t necessarily mean that Kryptonite alone will kill him, maybe you also need a red sun to do the job.
Finally there if and only if.
Rule 3: Superman will die, if and only if you use Kryptonite. This means not only is Kryptonite alone sufficient to do the job but if you stumble across a dead Clark Kent, you know Kryptonite was used.
Conditional and causal reasoning are both huge categories! They basically make up the majority of the LR portion of the test. See if you can narrow down what question types you tend to miss within those categoties, and try to work on those skills one by one.
@DaliaGolovco it looks like after analyzing RRE and Link Assumption seem to be the main question types. RRE at the forefront
@CalebTurner Perfect, those are smaller categories that are much easier to tackle! Try drilling those and see if it helps.
