I am learning MBT Questions. JY uses diagrams. Should we, too?

    To learn them and to review them during BR, yes. I tend not to on most during actual PTs, but when I was first learning them and even now for harder/longer/ MBTs, I still diagram.

    So how do you suggest we improve on them? There are too many "if this then this" to remember.

    How to improve on MBTs? A really good understanding of the conditional logic is imperative. Like I said, diagramming the questions is also a helpful practice.

    Have you watched all of the MBT/conditional logic lessons on 7Sage?

    Though it's more ideal to be able to not diagram on those questions, when I have the urge to diagram during timed, I sometimes diagram on the questions by underlining words and drawing arrows to indicate conditionality. Saves time.

    Yeah, exactly. Not ideal, but when you're learning, I feel like it's a pretty important step to skip.

    I also do something similar to this to save time. I think it's a great idea and skill set to remain flexible.

    If they are heavy in logic that can be diagramed then I usually do (if it has a crap ton of most, some, only, etc statements). But if they aren't heavy in them, then no I usually don't.

    I think sage corey has an informative webinar on when to diagram in LR. A big one that he stressed is to check if there are overlapping variables. And how long the conditional chain is
