I am having trouble with the Must be True and Main Point questions. I always seem to get fooled by choosing a Mistaken Reversal response. Can you please provide me a tip on how to avoid this?

Two short bits of advice: 1) Prephrase. If you take a moment to come up with a good prephrase before moving on to the answer choices, you'll be a lot less likely to fall for attractive wrong answer, including mistaken reversals. 2) Diagram. If the stimulus contains conditional reasoning, a simple diagram can go a long way towards clarifying the argument and safeguarding against mistaken reversals and negations.

Hope that helps!
