The way I am getting these is I try to find the simplest answer that has all components in the answer also in the stim. Typically this gives me the right answer.
what if E was the only answer, then everything else was garbage: would it be the correct answer to this q --- asking bc some of the past problem are sufficient
I am not sure how much this will help, but the approach that has worked for me in the last few questions was to adopt a mentality that these NA questions are missing something. This makes my goal spotting the gap.
You spot the gap by parsing the premises from the conclusion and asking why do these premises allow the conclusion to be reached - they don’t; something must be assumed.
Then I go what do i need to assume for the conclusion to fit in.
For example - in this question my mind went “what if the author and the critic have a different POV regarding what constitutes indifference to a moral question? I do know what the authors view is - so I looked for an answer that linked emotions…. to indifference…
(Linked the authors view to critics POV)
My prediction phrasing is a bit weak but it helps in the process of elimination.
I ask myself "if i negate this, would the argument fall through" when i go through the answer choices and it seems like i am still getting these questions wrong :( does anyone have any tips or suggestions ???
Yesssss. I read "raises moral questions" and thought, huh well Raising a question and being Indifferent to those questions can both be true, so the argument would have to somehow say that Raising the Question means you cant be indifferent. B states that. Lets goooooooo.
My personal tip: Don't commit to an answer until it actually feels correct. This is practice, take as long as you need until you start to get it.
This section is destroying me... for this question (the only one i got right in this section lmaooo), I stripped the stimulus to: Novel is B because it's C but that's unfair because it's A.
And for answer E, I read that as: novel that A does not have to be B to be C.
Idk if that's going to help anyone but it is helping my brainrot mind to understand this lol

is it possible to pick an answer that just feels right without understanding why it's right? that is me on so many questions.
GOT IT RIGHT! then in blind review picked E. Balright
I had B at first, switched it to E, and yelped in painnnn

Question. On the actual test, how on earth are we going to recognize the question types if so many of them are so similar?
Correct! and 14 seconds to spare!
When i tell you i cannot do this anymore
@VictoriaStewart Don’t give up.

This was pretty difficult for me. I got this correct, but it took me 6 minutes..
this one got me :(

im so bad at these bruh
Didn't get any necessary right so far
The '''almost''' invariably' is putting in a lot of work
nobody cares if you got it right, just move onto the next question...
@epayne17 Ong, I hate when people type 5/5! Like that's great dude I'm happy you're doing good on your practice but I don't want to hear about it.
@epayne17 god forbid people celebrate there success
@epayne17 If you got it wrong just say that! 😂 get your smarty up not your dummy up
SA I kicked ass. NA is kicking my ass.
@jrm98 Vice versa LOL
negation technique is goated for these
So, can we just exclude SA in NA questions? what if the SA is also a NA?
I am struggling with NA and SA questions dear lord
Yesssss. I read "raises moral questions" and thought, huh well Raising a question and being Indifferent to those questions can both be true, so the argument would have to somehow say that Raising the Question means you cant be indifferent. B states that. Lets goooooooo.

i knew it was B and I still chose E 😭
this is so fustrating :///////
Dude, this negation test thing does not work for me. I cannot for the life of me explain why something is or isn't necessary.
Without the Negation technique I have no strategy for solving these problems, and even using the technique fails to provide the right answer.
I just can't convince myself why something is necessary or not.
my ass getting kicked
