my advice would be to identify the two subjects at odds with each other in the passage. and then look for the answer choice that reconciles those two subjects. you can automatically eliminate any answer that doesn't include both subjects.
Even when you get the answer right, do you guys still watch the explanation videos? I still do, just so it really, truly sticks. How are you all doing?
@Shannell_E'llan sometimes. if i don't feel like sitting through a 17 mins explanation video, I'll read through the explanation instead of watching the video.
@Shannell_E'llan Always. I usually just speed it up to 1.5 or 1.7 if i felt i really understood the question. I like hearing detailed rationale for why the other answers are wrong because sometimes I get additional tips and insights I didn't catch on my own.
@MissProsecutor Congrats on your win and best of luck getting more of said victories! RRE is a little different so make sure to give yourself time to deeply understand the concept. Stick with it and don't give up!!!
I feel like these questions are so much easier than the ‘must be true’ questions. I got like all of the MST questions wrong and all of the RRE questions right so far
Is anyone mapping these out? I am curious because I am not. It comes easier to me than MBT questions for some reason. MBT will forever be an enemy and potentially final boss unless future questions give me more trouble.
@ShahmeerRaza yes I do! What I've come to realize is that understanding the entire scope of why all wrong answer choices are wrong is arguably more important than just getting the question right, which the videos really help to develop.
Took me too long to finish this one. Like 3 minutes. Sometimes it's hard to discern when to write causal or conditional relationships down on paper vs. when to just keep them as information in your head. Notating relationships on paper is too time consuming to do for every problem with conditional and causal relationships, despite being immensely helpful. This problem, I'm presuming should have taken about 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Hi! Does anyone know how to "blind review" before looking at the correct answer choice? It doesn't seem to be an option. It only says "finish" and then it shows me the answer. I also cannot see the timer while doing the question, has this happened for anyone else?
@Isabella! Should we even be blind-reviewing these practice questions? I feel like since its just one question with an explanation right after I don't even need to blind review
@eaoneil The reason I blind review even these is to simulate test-day conditions. I try to get an answer in under 1:37, and then BR allows me to properly take my time and digest the question.
I think it’s easier to see why choice E is wrong if you highlight that the second mention of “forests” clarifies that all three tree types—sugar maples, spruces, and firs—are in the same forests. The phrase “such forests” shows they share the same environment and acid rain exposure, which weakens E’s point about native areas.

God i like these so much more than MBT
facts!!
finally got a question right (ಥ◡ಥ). Heck yea brother
These all seem so easy compared to the MBT questions. The answers seem so obvious its like a trap.
1000% but I'm scared to speak to soon :(
I think RRE questions are my favorite, so far I am crushing these yay.
I hate how they ask us science questions, like im here cause I sucked at science
Bro this is like 3rd grade biology level.
i feel this so hard
@ejun0909427 bros the negative Nancy

@nedyvelazquez yesss THIS!
guys...I got my first RRE question right. To be honest, I am starting to understand the thinking that goes into this a little bit.
@MissProsecutor Congrats on your win and best of luck getting more of said victories! RRE is a little different so make sure to give yourself time to deeply understand the concept. Stick with it and don't give up!!!
@RubemSantos thanks! I appreciate the encouragement. Good luck to you as well!!
acid rained on
I feel like these questions are so much easier than the ‘must be true’ questions. I got like all of the MST questions wrong and all of the RRE questions right so far
Literally same
I agree!! These are way easier for me.
yaya! Got it right and was only a little bit over the time frame!:)
this is the first question I got right...
@rkmalmede same rip
Got it correct in the BR. But yall, RRE is not clocking to me.
what makes this hard for me is that I feel im assuming each time I read the answer choices.
Need to lock in.
I commented "got it" on the blind review and GOT it wrong lol.
I was totally bated by A, grrrrr....but wasn't a bad answer (as bad as others...), but just starting my journey, got 6 months to turn this around
That's plenty of time man. You got this!
omg I read the answer choices too quickly and chose B. Moral of the story!! do not read so fast!! double check answer choice!!!!
Is anyone mapping these out? I am curious because I am not. It comes easier to me than MBT questions for some reason. MBT will forever be an enemy and potentially final boss unless future questions give me more trouble.
same! MBT questions have personally victimized me.
Do you guys watch the explanation video if you got the question right?

"you're a winner! you're calcium deficient!" LOL bc same
got it right immediately but again the answer explanations seem so different from mine. maybe I just shouldn't question it lol..

Read the answers too quickly and chose D, thinking it says maple trees require more calcium than spruces.. Completely ignored summer etc.
