Must be true questions are questions where you're looking for an answer choice that must be true based on the information in the stimulus. You should make it a goal to have a prediction before going to the answer choices on these questions.

Method of reasoning questions ask you to describe how the author of the argument is going about making their argument. For these questions, you should have a general prediction about what the author's doing to make their case before going to the answer choices.

Strengthen questions ask you to pick something that, if added to the argument, will make it stronger. These arguments are always flawed/have a hole in them and need to be beefed up in order to be valid. Look for answer choices that, if added, would make the conclusion more likely to be true.
