I remembered this question vaguely from another practice set, all I remembered was that the answer felt odd. Boy was I right. While E is worded in an interesting way, it is a necessary assumption. If these teachers could be persuaded to relocate to this region where small class sizes have been preferred than the whole argument breaks down.
For this section I made a NA cheat sheet with different argument types and different typical NA answers for that argument type. It actually helped me a lot in predicting possible assumptions and analyzing the answer choices quicker.
at times i feel as though NA answers seem to nitpick a certain word for it to be a correct choice like in this case. Relocation in E seemed irrelevant up until the subject of "region."
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

WHAT? how are we supposed to know this? let alone make this bold, unfounded assumption? I cant stand ts

I was on a role with NA until this one. Fell for the trap and selected D. Got it right on BR. uuuugh!
I HATE NA QUESTIONS

@AlyssaV33 Hello fellow Alyssa, mind sharing this cheat sheet 👀👀👀👀👀👀
@AlyssaV33 It'll be great to see what you came up with.
@Alyisoffline Hi here is the link for those notes!
@AlyssaV33 the link doesn't work :(

i hate when the right answer seems too good to be true...
Im a genius
I got this one right; im so confused

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.
@TeklaCo Thinking of it as a strengthen question would've helped a lot
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...

@LiviaLSAT from my understanding, d is wrong because it says "any student" when the conclusion is talking about the overall state of the school
