Most difficult LR question type

MindyKaleMindyKale Alum Member

I wanted to know if there is a general trend among people to feel one question type as more difficult than the other. So I added ones where I seem to have most frequent errors.

What do you guys think?

What is the most difficult/uncomfortable or tricky LR question type for you?

    I am inclined to think MBT and MSS should have been lumped together to make room for Strengthen... Weaken has my vote.

    Weaken has my vote because the most difficult ones tend to be really subtle.

    Evaluate or strengthen for me.

    Parallel flaw is the "hardest" because it generally is the most time consuming for me.

    Flaw/Descriptive weakening takes the cake for me. It tends to be so subtle.

    Parallel flaw is hard but not too hard, it just takes up a bunch of time.

    SA is also a weakness of mine. MSS follows closely.

    Strengthen and Weaken questions get unbelievably tough in the 70s+, so that's my vote. Every other type of question can be formulaic after a while but some of the credited answers for Strengthen questions are coming from out of left field lol

    Strengtheners can be deceitfully subtle. There have been many times when I've thought each answer choice was irrelevant to the argument construct, but clearly one of them has to be correct.
