SAT CR Inference Questions

Hello all,

I took the Princeton SAT Review course, and they taught me that when a question in the CR Section asks for what can be inferred from the passage, you should write down exactly what is stated rather than an -actual- inference. However, I was going through the 11 Practice Princeton tests, and for one of the inference questions, I answered with what was directly in the passage, and missed it. Upon review, the answer explanation said that my answer was clearly stated in the passage and therefore wasn’t an inference.

I am really confused, and am realizing now, with about 2 days until I take the SAT (2nd time) that I should have invested the CB practices tests instead… but now that it’s pretty much too late to do that, I would appreciate any advice on how to approach the inferences questions, which questions can easily be elimated, anything of that sort. Thanks!
