Does anyone have any tips on analytical reasoning questions?

Not how to do them, but how to do them faster.

I can do them at an ok speed, but the 35 minutes given leaves me with only around 3/4 of the section done.

This is for LSATs, by the way. :)

For those who don't remember, these are the types of questions that say there is A, B, C, D & E. A does such and such. If C does this, D does that etc.

I am not sure how you can teach faster reasoning skills. You do or you don't have it.

Is it possible to take the LSAT without any prior practice/prep or paying for classes? I personally am against paying large sums of money to a company like Kaplan to coach me on the SAT's, which is supposed to be a measure of aptitude. That was high school. And in case you are curious: I did not take a class and barely practiced. Anyway, I have never heard of anyone taking the LSAT's "blind". Does this happen at all?

Yeah, it just kind of stinks though when 10 minutes more could mean I could finish it completely. I can't complain though, since averaging 3/4 on each section is still above average.
