Hi Nkathiyawadi,

In addition to any other advice you may receive here, you could consider prioritising logic over vocab for boldface. Knowing words like evidence, strategy, etc. is good, but relying on them to solve boldface questions is not. This becomes even more important when dealing with words that can be used in different ways.
