What question types typically take the longest?

[mrcheese]

I know any question type can be super easy and quick to answer. I also know there any question type can be a mankiller.

I just wanted to know if there were some question types that will often demand certain mechanistic approaches that will typically be answered correctly with the only catch being that it will take a little bit more time than others.

I am taking a little bit longer on assumption questions than I was on weakens and strengthens questions.. so I figured I would ask now.

Hi MrCheese,

Good question! This isn't an unbreakable rule (because difficulty changes from question to question), but any of the question types with a mechanical internal structure or easy double-check fall into the category you are talking about:

• Assumption
  Justify
  Parallel
  Evaluate

Thanks!

The reasons you provided make perfect sense. I was thinking they should take more time. Glad to hear they do.

Thank you.

Just to clarify, it doesn't always mean they take more time. Justify, for example, when attacked properly usually requires less time. But the above list is a set of types that have very systematic solution approaches.

Thanks!
