Reasoning section is killing me — Blood Relations + Syllogism tips?

    I get 14-16/25 in Quant consistently but Reasoning crashes to 11-12. Blood relations and syllogisms eat too much time. Anyone cracked these in <30s/Q?

    Draw the family tree IMMEDIATELY for blood relations — even before reading the Q twice. For syllogism, learn the Venn shortcut method, forget verbal logic for these.

    Try the AI tutor — paste 5 of your wrong Qs and ask for pattern analysis. The system can spot whether it's a 'reading too slow' problem or 'method too slow' problem. Different fix each.

    Update — 8 days into the daily 20-Q drill. Average solve time dropped from 45s to 28s per Q. Insane improvement.

    Plus one for Venn shortcuts. Also: practice 20 syllogisms a day for 2 weeks straight. By day 10 your brain stops thinking and starts pattern-matching.
