If you have a while to prep then try timing how long it takes you to complete each section and then incrementally shaving off a minute or so with different sections until you reach 35 mins or under. i.e take a reading comp section and it might take 40 mins to complete. Then, keep trying to shave off a minute (39 > 38 > 37...)and whenever you begin to lose accuracy, drill the section and question types until you are able to meet the new timing. This overall strategy helped me identify and narrow in on specific time sink question types and then target them during practice while actively trying to meet the new minute goal.

I usually read from A to E but also sometimes randomly find myself going from E to A. One thing that helps me avoid the A trap answer choice issue is when I choose A I try to force myself to read, or at least skim, all the other answer choices to confirm A as the best choice and that I didn't just take the bait on something too quickly.

A - weakens because if the industry new that not all the toxins were from the fish they catch the incentive for the program could be weakened

B - irrelevant /requires too many leaps in assumptions in comparison to C

C - correct since it shows why the government should institute this program (important to recognize that the motive of the government is to get an accurate count of dead birds)

D - not specifically relevant because the government motive is counting dead birds

E - "if net fishing were restricted by government" is not suggested by the conclusion and thus cannot strengthen the argument in the stimulus.

thanks, such a simple yet underrated way to look at it!
