When trying to solve Analytic Reasoning questions, make a "program" of the players by writing down the pool of people or events. For example, if the question talks about five professors, Mahaffey, Negy, O'Leary, Plotnitz, and Quivera, you jot down M, N, O, P, and Q on your scratch paper.

Writing down this pool of people may seem simplistic, but your not doing so can cost you points during the heat of the battle. It's very easy to have five people, four of whom are asked about frequently. The fifth poor forgotten soul often is ignored . . . until a trap question near the end. Write the pool down and refer to it often.
