I feel like I am not doing well on the NA questions because I am trying to find the sufficient assumption in the stimulus and I cannot find it. Can someone help please!
I got this one right but I don't understand what I'm doing wrong on the others of similar difficulty. It just seems like some questions you naturally get and others you don't.
I'm genuinely shocked I got this question right. 🥹 Out here used the basic skills I had (negate and see if this destroys the entire argument) and it worked. Yhan I was like maybe this question is really easy and it's a level 5.
#feedback - Can an instructor explain what we should know about prescriptive and descriptive writing? It keeps being referenced as something to look out for, but I'm not totally sure why I am looking out for it. It would be helpful to hear a direct explanation of the below.
Is it true that descriptive stimuli will never have a prescriptive AC be correct? And vice versa? Does it depend on the question type?
reducing class size (thus) hiring unqualified teachers would improve the achievements of any students completely negates the argument no? i am so lost on how to make sure d is wrong here
Wow. That took me insanely long (8 minutes) but going through in my head and fighting for the stimulus with each question contrpostived really helped.
With the others, the question could still stand but if E was that teachers could be persuaded then the whole argument falls apart because then the author's argument is non-sense from the get go.
YESSSSS. I read the stimulus, thought "Oh for this to be true, you couldn't recruit from other cities/regions" and then looked for that. BANG. No second Guessing, no doubt. 35 seconds to spare.
I honestly felt this was an obvious one. When I read the stim, I immediately sniped the assumption. The clearest assumption is that no qualified teachers would ever relocate to the district. If some DID, that would destroy the argument. I think ya'll are just overthinking it. Believe me, I never get these hard ones right lol

Contrapositive is the Key!!
As soon as I read C, the JY voice in my head said "WHO CARES about the students"

ok that was rude

This sounds like precluding alternative hypothesis (strengthening method) to me.
The answer choice is actually very far off the topic

@DeliaCanDoIt! See this lesson for more on Prescriptive vs. Descriptive: https://7sage.com/lessons/logical-reasoning/lr-logic-tags/the-value-judgment-tag
Prescriptive = telling people what they should do
Descriptive = just a neutral description without expressing an opinion
"Never" is too strong...but it is something to watch out for.
I got this level 5 question right and only +36 on timing! I'm so happy!
Haven't we done this question like three or four times now? I've just been getting it right because I remember the answer without thinking about it...
this question is awful :/
Yall... I've only gotten ONE NA question right in this section... am I cooked :(
@Tswizzle25 dont give up! were all in this together
this is one of the only questions that has made me. be like what the actual f
@VarenyaAlvakonda literally said the same out loud
@VarenyaAlvakonda same
this section is deep frying me
@mitch.s real bad...
reducing class size (thus) hiring unqualified teachers would improve the achievements of any students completely negates the argument no? i am so lost on how to make sure d is wrong here
@LiviaLSAT from my understanding, d is wrong because it says "any student" when the conclusion is talking about the overall state of the school
explanation for D being wrong made sense. Thank you.

Wow a level 5 and I got it right what the actual f

POE is a game changer

@TylerJBlanchard Yes I concur.
i thought this answer was too good to be true so i focused on the other ones first and got bogged down lol
I was so confident, got it wrong. Then I was confident in BR, got it wrong. LOL like I hate this question
@Nicoled Did the exact same thing, you are not alone!!
Second-guessed myself yet again RIP
