You need to be more specific. There are so many areas where you may be having problems. Try to determine what you keep missing in assumption questions, then attack those issues.

Agreed. General questions like this misunderstand the test as being simpler than it is. There is no one rule for finding these things. Every question states them in different ways, and the trick is to slowly learn all those different ways, until you can no longer be fooled by a strange wording. I'd give up on this thread, and instead start getting involved in the threads of individual questions where you struggled to find the core of the argument.
