I think some better steps to note after Step 2 are: Step 3., Separate sentences into premises/oppositions, Step 4: Be Mindful of harsh wording/rules, Step 5: Choose answer/logical conclusion from premises, Step 6: Eliminate wrong answers & move on. This has helped me in detail considering the MSS steps 7Sage gives are a little vague and are different from what J.Y. draws out.
I feel like I get lost in the details of these questions. I have been trying to figure out what I should focus on before seeing the answer choices I am going to experiment more with comparing the answer choices.
Okay, quick question - I noticed that there is a fill in the blank drill set on the cheat sheet, but there seems to be no directly stated lesson on this. I know we just briefly discussed it, but should I consider that topic to be covered?
I feel as I naturally picked this approach to before learning the "suggested" way to do it. Is there any other approaches to use? Just to see if something else works better?

What was the lesson? ANCHOR YOURSELF TO THE STIMULUS!!
The support comes from only and only the stimulus, lol.
These questions for some reason always trip me up.

Approach
Step 1: Read the question stem and identify it as an MSS question
Step 2: Read the stimulus
Step 3: Synthesize the information
Step 4: Process of elimination

What is the answer strongly supporting - The stimulus, conclusion, or both?
@Mina.G it goes in the other direction! The stimulus will be supporting the answer.
great formula
"They’ll present themselves as either common sense true statements. " -- I think this might be missing the "or"
