I am slightly curious about the recent conditional arguments we are coming across. In the past MC, MSS, and PAI questions we have not used Lawgic that much. Is this because it wasn't needed? Are we to mostly look to translate things into lawgic for MBT type questions?
I got this wrong b/c I did not think I could chain the ideas out of order :/. I thought I couldn't put decrease cost of living infront of more consumers live in dt area...womp womp womp
I have been mapping these out in my head. I have not attempted to map it out on paper, I feel like I am good at doing the work in my head, sometimes i get confused but for the most part like I am doing really good just thinking of it in my head. I know some of these are difficult to not map it out on paper but I have been having success mapping it out in my head. Im not sure if I should continue doing that or not, at times it does get difficult but I seem to be getting the answers right. What do you guys think?
@AndranikKarapetian same, the answer choices are getting to the point of where they don't sound right. Most POE knock-outs have been, "it has nothing to do with the stimulus". Occasionally, I'll be stuck on a stumper and have to go thru it mechanically, but the systems taught here have been useful there even though I run over time.
first one right on this module, and i got it done a minute quicker than normal and as a 4/5 difficulty. how am i getting the easy ones wrong and the hard ones right?
I just want to put this here as a reminder, based on the comments I'm seeing: we are in LR foundations, we are new to these lessons. I don't think it's wise for us to beat ourselves up over the fact that we are not getting the time we want. I reiterate, this is new to us, and thus, we should not be feeling bad or guilty that we aren't making better time on these questions. That will come with time. Once you get to the practice block of your study plan, then worry about timing. For now, this is still new and the point is to take our time. Thank you for listening to my TedTalk 😎
@GDatria715 then slow down. reading comp is much harder to adjust to later on than quickness is. quickness in comprehension simply comes with more practice. good luck!
@AliaAli at the end of the course, the drill section will emphasize what we need to study more. The inference questions come easier to me than the PAI, and I know for some of us this could be the exact opposite. As you say, dont fret, there's plenty of room to make up the difference.
I was confused because i thought it had to be more people living there AND less traffic congestion to increase profits, but then realized no answers indicate that so I got it right lol.
Every part of me does not want to get to test day and feel obligated to have to physically right down the Lawgic, but I fear I have no choice if I want to get these types of questions correct.
This was the question that made me realize I can't ignore chaining and trying to work around that. If I had chained, I would have gotten the right answer immediately.
I spent the first couple of minutes looking at the statements. Realized I joined two conductions because of AND into S. Went back split them up and found my answer.
I think I kept assuming that a decrease in traffic AND an increase in consumers are necessary. But the increase in consumers is NOT necessary to increase profits. Oof
Wowwzers. I have been getting all these 15-30 seconds fast, but this one took me 1:40 over time to get. I kept eliminating every single answer. I finally had to actually diagram it out. I was intuitively saying “If COL decreases and traffic decreases, then profits will increase” But actually if profits increased then traffic decreased. Traffic decreased is necessary, but COL decreases is sufficient. Which means profits sits in between them. Wow

Is @KevinLin single-handedly man-handling this course?
A. Singly-handedly but not man-handling
B. Man-handling but not single-handedly
C. Both
D. Neither
E. Not enough information to make an inference
good news: got it right, bad news: took a minute and half too long.

why did this take me 5min omg 😭

it feels so good getting it right and under the time limit. Man I need to chase this high!

@GDatria715 I've noticed I've been getting the middle level ones like level 2 and 3 wrong and level 1, 4 and 5 right - Level 1 less surprising.

@AliaAli what if im doing good on time but getting the answers wrong

Took longer, but 3/3!
I was confused because i thought it had to be more people living there AND less traffic congestion to increase profits, but then realized no answers indicate that so I got it right lol.
chained logic perfectly and literally just misread b and messed up ugh, I hate the time constraints lol.
Every part of me does not want to get to test day and feel obligated to have to physically right down the Lawgic, but I fear I have no choice if I want to get these types of questions correct.
wow i got it correct in 58 seconds
took me 4 minutes what a waste of time wow.
@TeklaCo took me 8mins to chain this conditional together and arrive at the final answer wow 😩
Well I got it right but it took me nearly 10 minutes. A win is a win I guess lol
This was the question that made me realize I can't ignore chaining and trying to work around that. If I had chained, I would have gotten the right answer immediately.
@juancarlosln SAME
JY translates Lawgic so well
I decided to take the three day weekend off as a break. I came back to kick off my lessons and my brain feels like mush. Do not stray people. LOL

@danjpeach96 I did the same thing.

i overthinked and chose the sophisticated answer and got it wrong but got it right on blind review.
I was mixing up the last relationship which caused me to linger on this question for a bit but luckily I stuck to my guts and got it.
I got it right...in 4 minutes lmao.
I'm still very slow at conditional logic-- definitely something to work on! Unless in particular trips me up
