How can you successfully deal with sections that test reasoning skills?

You do not have to see just what matches your answer but instead critically look at each answer choice. You can utilize these rules to eliminate the wrong answers. If there is something that is not from the passage in the answer choice, it's the wrong answer. The next is to see if there are overstatements or the use of overly exclusive or inclusive language. If you find things that hint at saying that everybody likes this, or nobody likes this idea, it is probably not the correct answer. So extreme answer choices are often wrong. The last would be to try and avoid social tautologies. These are things that sound good. For example, they may say the moral of the story is don't commit a crime or don't steal. That is probably the wrong answer. The things that sound right are ultimately irrelevant.
