For me, it helps to use the highlighting tools in the software and I just mark up the stim.
Pink = Premise
Orange = Concession point, counterargument, or context
Underline = Main and sub-conclusions
Then, I highlight the first word and last word of the excerpt being questioned in yellow.
That way, I have a good understanding of the role at a quick color-coded glance and can eliminate answers that are absolutely not possible. Then I read each ac with the use of the word that I ID it as. (i.e. I see it's a premise...then look at all ac's that use the word premise (or claim)).
I feel like this section would benefit from some definitions. knowing the difference between claims and premises etc would be helpful. There is a lot of nuance in the answers that could be clarified by some groundwork. #feedback
@AlizaGGG maybe better to have some areas that refer back to the foundation section, since all of those groundwork items are laid down in detail there.
What a boring section. This was the hardest to study through just by virtue of the fact that each question could be solved in 15 seconds or less. This should probably be one of the first sections
Congratulations on making it this far. You're almost 70 percent done with Logical Reasoning! You have done so much and so well. I am patting myself on the back. You should, too.

Why does this feel harder than NA and SA to me?
This section was a complete reprieve after the assumption sections

But what role does this, 'review' play in my studies???
@rickyrivas94 It's the premise to the conclusion.
I seem to always get these wrong in preptests and timed sections but going through this lesson was easy.
It seems like these can sometimes trip you up under timed conditions when you are trying to figure out the arguments assumptions
So much easier than NA and SA
@plz I do not agree I find this more difficult

@AlizaGGG Review foundations, I believe that's covered there.

@willhicks04 its strategically taught here to boost peoples confidence after getting demolished by PSA and NA lol
@goonk I don't think this should be one of the first sections either, it's a complete wildcard honestly
