Mimic the argument question type

by alvintom Tue Sep 13, 2011 9:59 pm

Hi,
I am having trouble with "mimic the argument" in critical reasoning question type during my mock tests. However Manhattan review of OG 12th edition does not mention any question of this type in the topic distribution chart. Should I focus more on this question type or should I ignore them?

Regards,
Alvin

Hi, Alvin, sorry for the delay!

Mimic the argument is an *awful* question type and it's not mentioned anymore because they didn't include any in OG12! I think that's a good trend - I'm hoping that means that they're not doing these at all anymore.

These are so rare that the chances are very good that you'll never see one on the real test. But if you do - that's a good time to make a quick guess and spend your valuable time elsewhere. You wouldn't see more than one. :)
