Question About Diagramming
I am trying to answer as many questions as possible without diagramming because I find that the test leaves almost no time for diagrams. But with a question like this, I answer wrong without diagramming every time. Do you have advice for getting to the right answer on questions like this without diagramming?

The first thing I would say is to slow down. I want you to take the time to see how the argument plays out, and it's really almost impossible to do so if you're sprinting through it. Second, I want you to focus on accuracy over time. If you're regularly missing a lot of questions, which your message make it sound is likely, your job is just to get them right. Accuracy begets speed, and there's no point in trying to finish the section if that means you are not actually solving (or making a good faith attempt to solve) each question you attempt.
Third, on a question like this that is somewhat diagrammable I would recommend trying to talk yourself through the logic- almost a verbal diagram. By that I mean that you can make logical chains and link things together in your head if you find that feasible, but without worrying about the formal logic.
