What's really helped me is working for a period of time on just understanding the author's argument without stressing about timing. I think that once you improve how fast you can grasp the argument and the structure of the argument the faster you can get at answering the questions under timed conditions. Also wrong answer journaling to really understand the kind of mindset you need to have when you go into answering a question ( are you being asked to bridge the gap from premise(s) to conclusion, find what weakens or strengthens the argument, etc).

I like using both. The bulb if I get a question wrong the first time and right on blind review. The video if I got it wrong both times. Also sometimes the video has different reasoning that I didn't even consider so it gives me a more in depth overview of the question and the correct way to go about reasoning it out.

I don't think you need to overwhelm yourself and your brain to do well on the test. I'd recommend reviewing the few questions that you do and really understanding why you got it right or wrong. Did you miss the alternative explanation? Did you not fully understand the assumptions that take you from the premise(s) to conclusion? Did you miss a key word that completely changed an answer and made it correct/incorrect? Reviewing sucks and it doesn't really feel like studying to me but it is a possible way to see improvements.

@J.Y.Ping I wish there were more time options because of the wide array of time zones of people on this website. I also wish I could add people as friends afterward because there were some people on the call who were super helpful, and I'd like to keep up with them outside of the messaging function. I do wish there were basic guidelines to get us. Having the tutor there was helpful, but everyone hopped on, and we were kinda like...now what?
