Hello,
I had a question regarding the best approach to RC passages that have two different subpassages for one set of questions. In the practice test explanation videos, JY approaches these by reading passage A and then going through the questions, then reading passage B and doing this the same, but there is no video in the core curriculum about these types of passages. Do you guys find the strategy of reading one and doing the questions then reading the other and repeating the questions to be fast enough, or do you usually just read them both at once then go to the questions? Thanks.
For tough questions like these, the best strategy is to eliminate the answer choices that you're sure are wrong and then with the answers that are left you have to decide which one makes the most reasonable assumption. For 5 star questions I feel like they deviate from traditional strategies and you just get better at them with more practice and eventually recognize what assumptions are reasonable and what are not.
Thank you
