LR question type break down

[siamnet]

Is there a break down of the LR (based on % historical data points) by question type?

For example:

Weaken - ?%
Strengthen - ?%
Assumption 10%-15% (This was from the 5-8 Lesson book)
Must be True- ?%
Cannot be True- ?%
Flaw in Reasoning- ?%
Resolve the Paradox- ?%
Parallel Reasoning ?%
Method of Reasoning ?%
Main point ?%
Point at Issue ?%
etc..

My main reason for asking so I can concentrate on mastering those questions that account for more than half of the LR section. Unless you think that's not a good strategy. I'm currently enrolled in your On-Demand class and am on Lesson 6. (March 30th exam date).
I wonder if I should also look to master the LR's argument type (Formal Logic, Conditional Reasoning, Cause and Effect, etc.) instead of trying to particular a question type. Instead understand the logic/framework so that the question type is not as consequential?
Thank you for any advice regarding this topic.

Hi siamnet,

Let's start with your question about LR question types break down. We do have an article that discusses the breakdown by type available here.

In terms of planning your overall study strategy, you should focus on question types that appear most frequently, as well as those that are personally difficult for you. For example, if you are hitting 95% accuracy on strengthen questions, even though they have been about 15% of the logical reasoning section lately, it's not worth spending 15% of your time. You want to focus on a combination of frequency and individual difficulty.

In terms of reasoning types, like conditional reasoning, causal reasoning, and formal logic, as long as you are studying a variety of questions and doing some full timed practice tests, you'll get exposure to each of these types of reasoning over time. Of those types, likely conditional reasoning will be the most important to learn, while formal logic is least important as it is only likely to show up on a couple of logical reasoning questions at most.

Hope that helps!
