experts, member pls, give idea

to read/understand/summarize the argument is the important step. We can no nothing before realize the conclusion and evidence. How much time do you spend for this action?

For some arguments, I see I can understand the argument fully in a short time about 40 seconds. for other arguments, it takes me a long time, up to 2 minutes. I want to read the argument quicker. I want to find new arguments or the text which is similar to the writing of the argument.

How do I do? anyone has any experience, pls, speak.

Thank you.

Practice, obviously.

Real answer: it varies from person to person. If spending 2 minutes on reading every CR (with a few more seconds to answer) gives you 95% accuracy, then yes you should do that every single time, and then guess on a couple questions at the end. If spending 2 minutes increases your accuracy by 4%, then you probably shouldn't. Most people are in the middle somewhere -- fine-tuning your personal test strategy requires some experimentation.
