Hi, can anyone give some gyan around this, i seem to be repeating my mistakes around these questions.

For a strengthen/weeken question, is it best to
-identify conclusion
-identify evidence for the conclusion

then attack in the order of
-Evidence
-Conclusion

Some answer choices have a completly contradictory statement to the conclusion, is choosing that as an answer a good option at all? Sometimes they just present some brutal fact that will say "red is not white" if the conclusion seems to infer red to be white and you are asked to weeken it.

Need some consulting gyan around here! :)

The answer should always strengthen/weaken the conclusion and nothing else. GMAT will trick you into answer choices that'll strengthen the assumption .. but in essence they would've weakened the conclusion. Well GMAT employs tons of such tricks - this is just an example.

Don't take my word on this .. I could be wrong too .. but this is what I've noticed.
