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
Got it right by realizing Pat is not a member and did process of elimination but was doubting myself which is why I took 6 minutes to get to the right answer.
I'm confused because yes, we know Pat is not a member, but it doesnt tell us anything about what non-members can do. so im confused as to why that is the right answer
Tricky one--but actually easy once you understand the pattern

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?

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 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

I thought because it said not more than 10 that must mean he rented the minum number 10
The use of the f word in this video is very effective.
I ruled out B because the stim said it was 10 movies in the past month, B just talks about not renting more than 10 movies.
I'm confused because yes, we know Pat is not a member, but it doesnt tell us anything about what non-members can do. so im confused as to why that is the right answer
The greatest explanation on this website by far.
