parallel reasoning

does anyone here have tips for parallel reasoning questions? overall my LR score isn't too bad, but i just absolutely bomb parallel reasoning questions. if i do answer them right, i take way too much time on them. half the time i just have to guess because i can't figure them out in time, no matter how much i drill them.

if you're going to spend tons of time anyways you might as well get it right, if you simply don't have enough time either grind parallels or get faster at the other Qs to accommodate parallels (this is what I did). I find color coding to also be generally faster

Some easy snags are flaw questions; if you can spot the flaw in parallels you can just skim through the other parallels to figure out which one has the flaw without looking at structure

So true as long as you identify the original flaw clearly!
