I feel just thinking about the question logically is easier than trying to put the stimulus into Lawgic. I still enjoy the explanation of each answer to see why the wrong answers are wrong!
A question about the stimulus, the first sentence is a conclusion, the following are the premises that support it. The last sentence seems to restate the conclusion initially spelled out with some finer details such as putting in the modifier of economically, is there any way to point to which sentence is the true conclusion?
I feel like I keep getting the must be true question wrong because for some of the Q's, they all seem logical. Any tips on how to limit this thought and reasoning while approaching MBT questions?
#feedback place the entire stim + ACs into the text explanation... when pausing the video, the entire screen goes white, so it's hard to analyze the stimulus or the answers when we can't see them (and by this i mean together at the beginning of the text and not spread out into the text (which personally that makes it hard to follow))
I really think I would have gotten this correct, but only because of the subject. It seemed clear to me that she is speaking about curricula rather than anything to do with the nation or high schoolers. Is this a bad approach?
#help It says curricula for younger students must address development needs.... why is answer choice C wrong? if it says our country can be competitive only if the develop needs of our students are met???
In the stimulus, the first sentence (the conclusion) talks about the nation being competitive, but doesn't say anything about the type of competitiveness that is. Only the last sentence adds the modifier of economic competitiveness. But in the explanations, the economic competitiveness is inserted into the first sentence's meaning. I am confused how the explanation is saying that the first sentence is expressing that pushing rigorous curricula to make the nation more economically competitive is a bad thing when it does not say anything about ECONOMIC competitiveness, just competitiveness as a whole. To me, I would interpret that as the author expressing any type of competitiveness in the first sentence, but then modifies it to be a completely different type of competitiveness that was originally the main intent. I see the argument as not really flowing very well because the author is not maintaining the same meaning throughout. Am I incorrect in thinking this or just overthinking it? #help #feedback
Just wanna say, I know it's an unpopular opinion but I appreciate not being able to see the answer choices/full question before the video or all at once. For me, when I do the question first, it clouds my concentration. During the explanation, I'm thinking "affirm my right answer" or "explain why I got it wrong" while ignoring the rest of the answer choices, grammar parsing, traps choices, etc. While doing the question before can be helpful of course, I lose sight of the lesson itself and dissecting each answer choice carefully.
I appreciate that the lessons almost force the analysis of the entire thing. It helps build my foundational skills and thinking process. When I do get to answer on my own, I find myself using the lesson strategies and thought processes more naturally. I like the new format. I also really like that it takes time to review older concepts.
If I really want to "try on my own", I read the question and stimulus first and at best try and predict or anticipate the answer choice. If not, I let Sir JY lead me through. Hope that helps some perspective shifts.
We are not getting opportunity to solve some of these questions bc it shows answer first before showing all options without. Any way quick view can be added for these questions? #feedback #help

I DEFINITELY would have fallen for (C)
Am I the only one who gets confused with the "handwriting"? I feel like it has got worse as the weeks go on.
Having come back to this, this feels more like a sufficient assumption question no?
so here is how I drew out the logic for this.
Young children curriculum (YCC)--> developmentally supportive
YCC--> DevS
we dont know what is the proper young children's curriculum but we can infer from the next sentance that it is NOT Rigoros curriculum. (/RC) \.
I substitute that in as we now how more specifics
/RC--> DevS
and that most closely aligns with answer choice
Is drawing out lawgic reserved for just conditional and causal logic?

The three first choices you mentioned, would you define those as assumptions to the argument that we cannot make? that is how i classified them

im cooked omg

I'm laughing at the 6 year olds learning calculus hahah
im so bad at conditionals, I wonder why is this lesson before the conditional one and will alot of MBT questions have conditional?
