is anyone else consistently having the problem of narrowing it down to 2 choices and always picking the wrong answer choice of the 2? this is so disheartening to fall for trap answers on every damn question.
@watersam10151992 not sure if u took the test already but when u have 2 answers left you pick the one that most connect to all of the necessary’s in the context. This is always how I rule them out
I like this format sooo much more! In the older version I used to get so sleepy during the many back to back video tutorials. It helps me so much to stay focused when I try it first.
I honestly hated every single answer choice. I know with NA the answer doesn't have to meet the perfect standard every time but I just felt like none of them were articulated well enough for me to feel confident in my answer.
It's ALWAYS down to two answers (B and E), and I keep picking the wrong one simply because I don't understand the wording. B rubbed me the wrong way simply because I didn't understand the wording of it.
This question was super easy if you applied the falsify trick to answer choice B. When you negate it, argument falls apart --> must be required to be true then!
I was torn in between B and E. I thought B felt weak and the word indifferent was throwing me off because subconsciously I wanted to argue that the authors work was NOT indifferent. I picked E because it provided a strong explanation for why the charge was unfair (providing support to the conclusion)
Whereas I should have been thinking in the sense that "it does not have to be indifferent" meaning the author could care or could not care and therefore the argument has standing. The question stem is asking for us to find an assumption that is required for the argument to have standing.
One thing that has helped me is the negation test, identifying the argument/conclusion, and asking myself if I pick this particular answer will it hold the argument together. Food for thought

Now that I'm thinking about it, I never really wanted to be a lawyer anyway lol
LMAOO
Consistently getting all of these questions wrong. Fml.
keep your head up donkey i love you so much
Necessary assumption, sufficient assumption, and strengthen questions make me think of a "get your foot in the door" kind of analogy:
To strengthen an argument, you want to get the door open as wide as possible (even if it barely opens further, just a crack).
Sufficient assumptions swing the door wide open.
Necessary assumptions just keep the door unlocked.
Great Analogy
i've actively started telling myself, "who cares?" as i go through the answer choices.
This is a horrible question tbh
Fuck! I can't get any questions in this category correct! and on top of it life is beating my ass right now! I need a win!!
@GordonGianadda tru dat
@GordonGianadda trust me you will win!! we got this!
@GordonGianadda hang in there im in the same boat

im so confused its not even funny
The way I was between B and E and chose E 🤦🏻♀️

totally agree! plus I can choose to skip video lessons if I find myself doing really well on the initial set of practice questions!
This section makes me feel like an idiot sandwich
nvm
Doing way better on these than SA for some reason?
same?
I found the PSA and SA questions to be the hardest question types in LR
Same, I love these lol
This section absolutely kicking my ass! Guess I got a lot of work to do on this...
@SethDouglas SAME!! And I feel like the approach was not explained well enough. I guess I'll have to look for resources outside of 7sage.
@SethDouglas Lock in!!!
misunderstanding these questions, also quite tired
i dont even know how or why b is right but i chose it idk. not feeling good my fellow companions
@Nickgigs same twin

i thought i was done for but i am so back
I love your comments
Question. On the actual test, how on earth are we going to recognize the question types if so many of them are so similar?
This question was super easy if you applied the falsify trick to answer choice B. When you negate it, argument falls apart --> must be required to be true then!
I came to say this.
Where can we find the video on the falsify trick?
I did this as well during blink review!
I was torn in between B and E. I thought B felt weak and the word indifferent was throwing me off because subconsciously I wanted to argue that the authors work was NOT indifferent. I picked E because it provided a strong explanation for why the charge was unfair (providing support to the conclusion)

I was stuck on the question for 30+ minutes and your explanation finally made it all click. Thank you for your service
I’ve found that weaker answers are actually usually right for necessary assumption questions!
Been having a terrible day and this just made me so happy. You're most certainly welcome

Didn't get any necessary right so far
