It REALLY feels to me as if the correct answer is the one that neatly fits..like a puzzle, the one you can't really dispute or disprove. Do I sound insane? Well it's 10:30 PM so maybe
Going back to simplifying the sentence and kernel of things helps so much here. Before- my brain would be so burnt out trying to understand everything before even getting to the question choices
Something that I'm working on not doing is "reading intensely." I feel like it burns my stamina out. Instead I'm building my intuition and confidence in the form of the questions and answer choices. One foot in front of the other...
I got B, but A was a hard no for me because of the word 'ONLY.'
The video says A isn't 'precise enough,' but isn't 'ONLY' also just way too percise? The paragraph says it’s reasonable to push for certain animals, but it doesn't say we have to exclude every other species. To me, 'only' made it an automatic fail. Is that a valid way to kill the answer or am I reachin
Wow i'm going to be a great lawyer 😁 It really helps to read the passage and understand it. Then Predict what the correct answer be. Then look at the choices.
I've surprisingly been getting these questions correct, which makes me feel confident, but I really have to work on my time. Most of the time I go 40 seconds to 2 minutes over depending on the question.
Great Explanation. I got this one correct, but it did take me 8mins :/.. I wanted to understand the stimulus thoroughly. How can I get faster? I guess by practicing and drilling more.
@ayoubiii I think it helped when I translated it! So let's say there are some snakes that really only exist in Hawaii (endemic species). Even in Hawaii, they are mostly in Maui in one forest in big numbers. Like NYC population equivalent numbers(hot spot). But these snakes right, they need their homes in the forest, but hotels keep trying to build chains there. That would destroy their homes(vulnerable to habitat loss bcz of commercial development). Real bad for the snakes, right? Turns out, these types of scenarios with endemic species that all died out are where we get MOST of the extinctions in the last 100 years (modern-day extinctions). Environmental orgs like WWF are trying to help, but they have so many ops!!!! They have to deal with global warming, and there are also snails and monk seals and dolphins and whales-- nature orgs are BUSY. They can't be doing everything (limited number of battles that can be waged). When we take all of that into account, what makes the most sense? Hopefully this helps!

first try 42 seconds!

I got it right but I was 2 minutes over. These questions take a little longer for me to piece the stimulus all together tbh
@jaydenca Same here! We got this, I believe.
got it right on BR ugh
@TOMCRUISE me too!
For these questions, is it okay to just first read the "thus/therefore part" before the rest of the passage?
correct in 46 seconds lets goooo

Was able to predict the answer before reading the ACs
foundations lessons are paying off :)
Here's how I placed each answer choice on the Spectrum of Support:
(C): anti-supported
(D), (E): unsupported
(A): weakly supported
(B): strongly supported/valid

@Nampoina yes!!
im getting better! :)

tbh i think the correct answer is to kill all the pandas
When you see what you strongly believe is the correct answer, do you mark it and move on or finish reading the rest of the answer choices?
@JaymeBlazek my biggest problem with time right now is exactly this.
Right in 36 secs - compared to where i started, this is so awesome!
got it right, but still feel iffy on it, a little confusing :/
Yay! Celebrating baby steps.

LETS GO HUGE W
Does everyone read through the explanations even if they got it right? I started skimming them
@AshlynMiller I usually watch the video on a faster speed.
Phew! Too Easy!

@aidamaeee04 same i'm worried I am becoming over confident lol
@EthanPerlmutter Literally same!
I got it correct, for me I focused on the conclusion and the word waged

Any tips on how to better understand this question, it really confused me.

@new_cheese it's funny you chose snakes for this example, since we don't have endemic snakes in Hawaii! You're totally right though :)
