3/5! The first question was sooo hard for me because I could not for the life of me grasp my head around the word "predate" LMAOO. Once I heard the video I paused and was like "I'ts D".
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!
4/5 and then 5/5 after my blind review. Was able to stay around 10 Seconds over the target time. First question took me a minute to parse out the complex grammar.
Does anyone know a better way to approach these MSS questions? Honestly these videos are not helpful to me. I'm just reading the question and picking one because I really don't know what I'm doing.
ex. for main conclusion or main point I read the stimulus and then I find the conclusion. Then I find the answer that is a restatement or paraphrase of the conclusion, and I get the answer right every time.
For these mss questions, I'm just reading it and not really knowing what I'm looking for. However, all the answers I'm picking seem fully supported to me but are not even the trap answers. I review the videos after each wrong answer but to me they seem to just jump to an understanding without explaining the approach and suddenly there's the right answer in the video.
I'm open to anything, sometimes others perspectives can help!
In the star question brown dwarfs are identified by their mass and whether or not lithium is present in their atmospheres. A brown dwarf’s lithium cannot be consumed because they do not have a functional nuclear furnace. If it says they are identified by whether or not they have lithium, does that really mean all brown dwarfs have lithium? Couldn't they not have lithium in their atmosphere and still be classified as a type of brown dwarf? And then the last sentence would mean if a brown dwarf does have lithium, then it cannot be consumed. But it doesn't have to mean that a brown dwarf has lithium, does it?
I got 1/5 but then 3/5 on blind review. Im not sure if thats good or not. From my understanding people do better with BR due less time constraints rather than not knowing the concept. So does that mean. I need to work on timing issues vs concept issues? help lol
5/5 but timing was way over for almost all of them - same with the past couple of drill sets. I know it's a good sign that I'm understanding the concepts fully, but no idea how I'll be able to cut this time down.
4/5 and timing was under target exvept for 3 with only +:02 at that. A redo of some lesson drills helped as I had seen two of these before. 4 was incorrect because C tricked me and I overlooked the E which was the correct one. Eventually got it correct via BR. I am satisfied with my improvement in both accuracy and speed but need to get accuracy perfect before worrying about speed.
4 was incorrect and right on the timing maker if 1:00. Taking a max of 30 more seconds would have probably been a difference of correct or incorrect.

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

got a 1/5 and thn a 4/5 after BR. Feeling stuck! what should i do
