I'm worried about my timing! Even on easy questions, I often go over the recommended timing. I hope they give timing tips and practice later in the study plan?
for me the key is really to analyze the argument structure. It's something I probably should've been doing more consciously for other problems, and the NA questions really expose that weakness for me
Doing the contrapositive on each answer and seeing if it destroys the argument is what helped me with this one. For (E) if people could easily change their mind then that would destroy the entire argument.
i am forcing myself to 1) identify the argument structure + type of argument 2) summarize the argument in one sentence 3) find the gap 4) Answer -> i am getting caught up in the details and when i go to answer the question i am just lost and cant identify the gap.
Literally almost got this wrong because I thought the correct answer was too obvious. This section has me questioning everything even when I am confident
The easiest way for me personally to not get tripped up on these NA questions is to refuse to even look at any of the ACs until I've identified an assumption to hunt for. It's probably not the best for timing but it's helping me learn to get accurate.
idk if I'm overthinking these question but I'm on a losing streak and im so humbled 😭 can someone pls share their strategy at these type of questions? I tried the "negate answer choices and if it weakens the conclusion, that's the correct answer," but I just get in my head and make it more confusing for myself. THANKS! #help
Did anyone else read the stim as "voters are open to changing their minds, they're just voting for whoever they originally planned to vote for due to bad timing between the time they voted and the column"? That's how how I picked A (since voters who haven't voted yet can still be persuaded). Still not sure how E disproves this.
For those who are also struggling, I've gotten almost 90% of the questions wrong for the last 5 lessons. I'm starting to get them right after ignoring the clock and just slowing it wayyyyyyy down. This looks like rereading the stimulus UNTIL I feel confident in the information I have and don't have (premises and conclusion). Most of the time when I was trying to do it quickly, I was confident in eliminating 2-3 but not in my selection for the correct answer. However, I've yet to rule out a right answer. Slowing it down made me confidently select the correct one, so just stick with it will come!!!

Is it taking others way over the time limit to answer these questions?

Finally, even though this was a 2/5 difficulty, I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for ONE DUB AFTER A WHOLE consecutive LOSS THIS WHOLE SECTION BRUH.

lol, this is the first NA question i got right so far 🤡
Got it and saw it was a level 2 difficulty...
got it in 53s but it was on weenie hut jr mode :/ so i feel it doesn't count
Got it right in 2 minutes flat but the target is like half of that 😩

I got this right, but it took me 5 minutes. UGHHH
im realizing these questions are easier if I just listen to my head.
As soon as I read this I thought "well some people might change their minds anyways"
So this became the assumption I was looking to nip in the bud.
took too long cause I was second guessing myself ughhhh
i am forcing myself to 1) identify the argument structure + type of argument 2) summarize the argument in one sentence 3) find the gap 4) Answer -> i am getting caught up in the details and when i go to answer the question i am just lost and cant identify the gap.
2/5 "easier question" but I NEEDED THIS WIN
what kind of reasoning is this?
Literally almost got this wrong because I thought the correct answer was too obvious. This section has me questioning everything even when I am confident
FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY AFTER 1 AND A HALF LESSON COURSES I GOT ONE RIGHT.
I AM SO COOKED.
I love when they teach me different definitions for words I thought I knew
Got it right, thought it was decently challenging... see its a two star. I feel like an C class hero.

Hilarious how i get the 4 stars and 5 stars right in this section but get the 2-star and 3-stars wrong
Got so humbled after seeing this question is a 2-star
