For me, throwing terms into the domain really helped on this question.
Domain: Members of the VideoKing Frequent Viewers Club
All of the derived conditionals from the passage, besides for the last sentence, fall into the domain. However, with Pat, there is no indication that she falls in or out of the domain.
All the passage says is that
she did not satisfy the 10+ videos in the past month
She recieves a discount from said(walnut) location.
Therefore, at least some (includes 1) person gets a discount while not being a member of the domain.
Maybe this was luck I do not know. But it made sense to me.
Gahhh D is so easy if you read carefully. I glossed over the fact that Pat didn't adhere to the Member rules! It truly is essential to make sure you understand everything being said.
Im confused because the first setence states that members of the club can recieve the coupon. I assumed Pat had to be a member since he got the coupon. I guess because it did not say "All" members that some people who are not can get the coupon
2:26 over but I got it right... almost picked C but remembered to not assume what isn't presented to me in the stimulus!! I think with more practice I will be able to answer these types of questions using less time.
at what point is it worth spending 4.5 minutes on a question even if you get it right? Serious question, timing will be my main obstacle and tips on that for questions like these would be appreciated :)
I got this right with only a minute over. Remember everyone.
If all the statements above are true, then you shouldn't make assumptions based on the statements that make it not true.
For example, with question E) If Pat rents a movie from the Main Street location, then she will not receive the special discount coupon.
This is wrong automatically because in the statements it says, Pat...can receive the special discount coupon".
Also, if Pat can receive the special discount coupon AND use it at a location that isn't aloud if you are a member of the VideoKing Frequent Viewers club, then Pat must not be a member. Therefore, D must be correct.
I GOT IT RIGHT LFG! it took me 8:32min but a win is a win ig. Worrying about accuracy over speed for now is helping alot with actually internalizing why I choose the right answer choice and not the wrong ones.
Question: why is it that Pat not being a member must be true? Couldn’t it be possible that there is some unknown exception to the rule and that Pat indeed IS a member but just falls within this exception? And then in that case doesn’t it follow that it does not HAVE TO be true that Pat is not a member. Or are we to assume that if the stimulus doesn’t outline an exception to the rule there is no exception to the rule? This is how I came to choose C as opposed to D

just a horrible question
This one actually felt like a riddle wdym pat just simply wasn't a member and why didn't I think of that?
Oh I hate hate hated this question but the explanation actually helped this time
why is the 2nd premise not counted as support for B

first in my bloodline to hear Sal Khan curse
Over on time but got it right without blind review lets gooooooo
Why isn't Pat assumed to be a member of the club since the 1st sentence specifies who can receive the coupon?
Is it not a very very weak and reasonable assumption that only members can receive the coupon, since that's the domain being introduced?
Gahhh D is so easy if you read carefully. I glossed over the fact that Pat didn't adhere to the Member rules! It truly is essential to make sure you understand everything being said.

B sounded good to me smh

I didn't get the last question right but I redeemed myself on this one!! only 23 seconds over :)
Fun Question. Really underscores how important it is to just take what is given in the stimulus, AND STOP ASSUMING anything that isn't there.
I got this right with only a minute over. Remember everyone.

I feel like I’m learning, and starting to do better. Watch me jinx it now and get the next one wrong.
I feel like his explanations get weaker as the questions get more difficult. Perfect example - why "B" is wrong in this question.
I got it right, but I just guessed and this one sounded the least bad LOL wowwww
what da helly
freaaaaak this question
pisses me off bc i assumed walnut lane was the main street location since Pat didn't rent 10+ movies. RAHHHH
the most CANCER question ever
