5/5 Correct. Unfortunately Way Over Time on every Question if Time was a Factor. Felt Great I was able to recognize the Question Pattterns and Get everything down to 2 choices failty Quickly> Hopint to be more decisive when picking answers in future
For number 4 I chose E over B because B states "Farming practices introduced for the sake of maximizing profits..." but the only thing we know about the farmers are "On our farm, we have great concern for our cows' environmental conditions." Thus, I figured we don't know that they introduced the practices for the sake of maximizing profits or they just did it because they love the cows and wanted them to be comfortable. But, I guess they do state that "thus it would improve profits." so you can infer it's done to maximize profits. I chose E thinking it was a linking one and that A->B->C->D and even though the "key" felt like a stretch I figured it was more aligned then with B. I see how its wrong but damn so tricky!
This is so crushing man.. 😔I feel so defeated, 0/5 for both. I didn't change any of my answers because I felt my reasoning/ PoE were correct. For 3 questions, I narrowed down to two and still always choose the wrong answer. It's extremely frustrating; I feel stupid that I couldn't get a single question correct.
I noticed for two questions, I misread the answer choice/stim and that led me to silly mistakes, but for questions PT146.S2.Q19 & PT143.S1.Q20, the stimuli messed me up.
For PT146.S2.Q19, I read "but our natural-gas pipelines run in the vicinity of only three of our large bodies of water" to mean those were the ONLY 3 bodies water in the country, so I PoE'd because it didn't matter if they expanded the fuel pipelines because they there were no more bodies of water to expand them to.
For PT143.S1.Q20, "They found that 35 percent of the former and none of the latter showed evidence of damage to a structure of nerve cells called the subplate." I struggled on this sentence. After a few reads, I understood it to mean, 35 percent of deceased brains with schizophrenia and 0% of deceased brains without schizophrenia had shown evidence of damage etc. Is that what it meant? Former corresponds to the first group and latter corresponds to the second group. I know I'm not crazy. lol.
Help!!!! I'm feeling really dumb with this question type. I got 1/5 on this drill. If you’ve mastered this question type, or even just gotten the hang of it, could you please help me?
5/5 but I took around 9.5 minutes. I don't think I mind taking things slow right now since I want to make sure I'm understanding my answers. I'm happy!
Does anyone else feel the justification for why the answer choice is not C for Q5 doesn't make much sense? The answer choice says satisfaction with income is correlated with the neighborhood, and the stimulus says exactly that. The justification in the video for why it isn't that says, well what if this person lived in a poor neighborhood but he was making $100 while everyone else is making $80? He could be happier than someone in a richer neighborhood. Yea, true, and that's my point exactly. He lives in a neighborhood he's making more than his neighbors. If he was still making that $100 and moved up to the richer neighborhood he wouldn't be as happy. So therefore the neighborhood you live in has an effect. The stimulus says the level of satisfaction is correlated with how favorable your income is to your neighbors. That would mean your neighborhoods average income vs yours is going to affect your satisfaction. I'm not necessarily trying to argue to say C is correct, I just feel there is not a very good explanation, or the answer choice was worded poorly. Anyone else?
Bro the blind review messed with me because I thought I got those questions wrong and picked different answer choices. Like fallacy much, I did get one wrong on both though and it was insightful.
Got 3/5, then got 5/5 on the blind review. I am starting to see improvements, but I am still struggling to effectively articulate to myself how I got the answer I got. Not sure that makes sense.. If anyone has had a similar thought let me know!
got a 1/5 and thn a 4/5 after BR. Feeling stuck! what should i do

I got 2/5 on this. As I keep practicing drills on these type of questions, I still have trouble going above a 3/5. What can I do?
question 5 cooked me ;-;
4/5
Is there a way I can redo this? I didn't realize this was a five question drill, so I only answered the first one (which I got right!).
3/5 initially but after doing blind review I got a 4/5. Question 2 got me lol

4/5 correct, fixed on the blind review to 5/5. Fell for the trap in Q5 :( oh well, onward!
I got 2/5 correct on the first go around after the blind review i got 4/5 correct. With more time I connect the dots. We got this!

it feels insanely good to go 5 for 5 and be able to recognize the patterns more quickly omg
5/5 lets gooooo

5/5 but I took around 9.5 minutes. I don't think I mind taking things slow right now since I want to make sure I'm understanding my answers. I'm happy!
initially 3/5 for actual take, but 5/5 with BR...i could cry of joy...also helps there wasn't a timer lol
4/5 after blind review yay! number 4 was really tricky for me.
4/5???? WTF WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW I THOUGHT I SUCKED AT THESE QUESTIONS
