Thanks for the advice! In my last practice test, I narrowing my focus by initially looking at the conclusions, and it definitely helped! I tend to save these questions for the end as well.

Strategies for Parallel Reasoning Questions

Does anyone have any strategies for answering parallel reasoning/flaw questions more quickly? These questions consistently take, in my opinion, far more time than they should for me.

My method has been:

Read stimulus

Diagram stimulus if necessary

Go through answer choices and use process of elimination: if the stimulus contained conditional language, eliminate answer choices that don't, etc.

Review remaining answer choices.

Does anyone else have any useful strategies?

The main issue for me seems to be how time consuming these questions can be. In the explanation videos, there is the luxury of answering a question in 8 or more minutes, but on the exam this amount of time is obviously not feasible.

Thanks!
