Having trouble
I like using the diagrams to work through the question, it makes it easier for me to visualize it. I realize that its not realistic for me to do this for every answer choice, any tips on how to figure it out faster maybe without the use of the diagrams?

Great question. Diagramming can be extremely helpful, but you're right—you can't diagram every single problem because if you did, you would not get through that many questions.
In order to be able to diagram fewer problems, I recommend drilling the conditional statement and missing premise flash cards in the logical reasoning section of the curriculum. Drilling lots of conditional statements will help give you a stronger intuition for seeing the conditional logic without always having to write it down in order to recognize it. Over time, you will gain more and more familiarity with the conditional statements, and this will eventually mean that you won't have to diagram as many problems.
I also recommend practicing problems without diagramming to see how you do without it. This is a type of confidence drill that can help you to assess where you're at. If you find that you're getting almost all or all of the questions right, then you know that you were probably diagramming too much and can tone it back some. However, if you're missing a lot of these questions, then it suggests that diagramming problems is still very essential in helping you get the questions right, and this suggests that you need to continue reviewing the conditional logic lessons in our curriculum to get better intuition with conditional statements.
Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any more questions!
