Did anyone else treat this a bit more like a parallel match to weed out wrong answers? When ACs are this long, I try to figure out the form first, and from there you’re basically left with only B and D. D strengthens the argument by saying the predators going away doesn’t impact the rest of the population, while B says the predators going away does impact the population. By treating this as a principle match I was able to eliminate A, C, and E as IRV. Let me know if anyone had a similar process.
I feel like this is the first time during one of these practice questions that I could fully explain (in my head) why the correct answer was correct, and the wrong answers were wrong. Most of the time I've just been saying "oh that's irrelevant" to wrong answers when there's usually a more explanatory reason why wrong answers are wrong.
I got this one right through POE. The only thing I'm confused about is all the answer choices are about specific island (specific subsets?) and so while I got the correct answer, if there was an option that was more general, it would've thrown me off during POE. Does this make sense?
Proud of myself. Anytime I see science I go into a panic mode because I hate it, but instead focused on the structure and framework of the theory and the answer choices that were in the form of experiments/phenomenon and was able to get B immediately.
I never leave feedback but I have to say. I knew it was C, thought I clicked C, but actually clicked B. Didn't even notice in the blind review and was so confused on why I got it wrong when I knew C was the answer. I think my brain melted and then reformed again :)
#feedback Can someone explain what the numbers in the "Answer Choices" section mean? I've gotten four correct in a row, and on every one there is a 165 above the correct green answer. What does that number mean as well as the other numbers that are on there?
When i get these right, is it a waste of time to sit thru the video? because i have been watching all of them regardless of if i get it right or wrong...
I accidentally misread the question and was therefore looking for answers that SUPPORTED evidence for the theory, not AGAINST the theory. As a result, I chose E, which was wrong obviously. But had the question been what I originally thought it to be, I would have been correct, yes? #help
My issue a lot of the time is that I don't fully read the question stem, sooooo I need to do that I suppose lol

really struggling on these questions now. I started off on the right foot and I just keep getting worse. IM STRESSED
my environmental studies degree coming into play
I mistook the herbivores to still be predators since the pyramid visual of each level is a predator to the one below. I took it as a trap answer
AGAINST, UGH.
I got this one right through POE. The only thing I'm confused about is all the answer choices are about specific island (specific subsets?) and so while I got the correct answer, if there was an option that was more general, it would've thrown me off during POE. Does this make sense?
For timing purposes if I find the right answer mid-way through, should I just move onto the next question?
This one made my brain hurt tbh but reading the explanation now I feel stupid
It took me about 30mins to do this question and got it during blind review! take your time and do not rush. You will focus on time after accuracy
I thought an AC that contradicts wasn't the ideal answer like HUHHHHH

I always second guess myself and change my answer from right to wrong f me

im so done with this shit.

I love the science questions. I feel more in my element lol
Process of elimination was key on this one

uMMMMM oKAYYYYYY
Scientific questions are so HARD :(
FINALLY got it
I so silly. I missed the word AGAINST in the question stem. YAY
Just to make sure I am understanding correctly:
I accidentally misread the question and was therefore looking for answers that SUPPORTED evidence for the theory, not AGAINST the theory. As a result, I chose E, which was wrong obviously. But had the question been what I originally thought it to be, I would have been correct, yes? #help
