Took me 7:54. I was stuck on A and B, and I choose B. When I reread the stimulus and it said "resident", the lightbulb lit up and that's when I selected B. Maybe non-residents are heeding the caution about not cutting back on aircon.
bruh the way the Q was worded threw me off so bad. using the word "resolve" made me automatically think, "how could we resolve this problem" so I picked E cause i was thinking, if the heat wave abates, then no blackout, and took the contropositive of everything... We should do lessons strictly on the wording of questions and having to decipher what their exactly asking us to do.
@ArdenAmarelo same. I went over a minute nd 33 seconds because I just kept going back and forth between the two. Chose A originally then said hmm my intuition is not the best so went with B and got it right haha
@GabrielleRothstein idk if this will help, but in this particular question when it says "AC isn't the only significant drain in the power grid", the question does not mention significance just that the AC use is specifically overloading it. The key word for me here was overloading it. It talks about how specifically even if residents don't use AC as much, it will still happen. So the only way for blackouts to still happen if the residents using it so much was not the issue. B satisfies that. I think you just have to pick apart everything.
out of the 4 You Trys i have gotten 1 correct out right but the rest i get correct in the blind review. I understand what the question is asking I'm just not taking my time.
I picked A, but after thinking about it I realized, "if AC wasn't the only significant drain on the power grid, why aren't there blackouts constantly?"

Dam I got tricked by A, it doesnt explain why the blackouts still occur. And its vague. Gotta avoid the vague answers. I also answered too fast
Selected a during the initial and B during the Blind review... twas disappointed in myself lol
read it too fast and fell for A...immediately regretted and knew it was B once i peeked and saw 0%
ofc I fell for D

So... fine, I get that B was the better choice, but that question was dumb.
Is it just me...or are the RRE question types hard to grasp what the heck???
@ChandaM I feel the same. I keep seeing comments of people saying that this is super easy and obvious and im like wow, im dumber than I thought lmao
I was so confident with A...
I got it down to A and B, but ended up going with A because I thought "why would business owners not be considered residents?" 😭
@ArdenAmarelo THIS!!!
@ArdenAmarelo same. I went over a minute nd 33 seconds because I just kept going back and forth between the two. Chose A originally then said hmm my intuition is not the best so went with B and got it right haha
in other words, there's no fucking strategy to get these right. Just hope your intuition does the work...
LET'S GO! HUGE DUBS
i was stuck between b and d, got it right in blind review
Shoot, I originally read/understood that as "most businesses and factories in the region use ac". Obviously see my error now lol
I love these questions and explanations. Practice practice practice!
should've went with my gut...
RRE questions are fr gonna make me crash out
I ALWAYS get my questions down to 2 answers, and one of them is always right.... anyone else struggling with this and/or have any tips?

I originally pick B because I thought it was making a comparison with a subject no present in the stimulus. I kinda get why I was wrong but not really
out of the 4 You Trys i have gotten 1 correct out right but the rest i get correct in the blind review. I understand what the question is asking I'm just not taking my time.
@Sabercat48 That's what drills and PTs are for. I think these You Trys are to make sure you learn the topic right now which you can later apply in PTs
A not being the answer is exactly why I have trust issues with this exam. ugh
@DoubleAA fr :(
bro what?
BRUHHHHHH
I was doing soooo well until this question :(. got it on blind review though! just have to read more carefully
I picked A, but after thinking about it I realized, "if AC wasn't the only significant drain on the power grid, why aren't there blackouts constantly?"
@RyanAlexander Or why were the residents specifically asked to cut back on ACs?
