#feedback it would be helpful to see how he solves these questions in the target time. I find his explanations beneficial but when it comes to answering questions, I'm unable to fully diagram in the target time.
When there's a lot of comments, I feel like I gotta buckle up for a hard one. When there's less comments, I feel like I can't miss this one or everyone will judge me.
I really have panic tendencies, I know an answer does not seem right but I choose it because I'm running out of time or I don't immediately see an answer that is perfect. I need to calm down.
sometimes seeing that red circle at the top of the screen can make me feel really disheartened too. But we are all still learning and these things take practice. We got this!
Poor Rolanda... lol you know what I found funny though. When Tom made that comment trying to sound smart I imagined this is how he looked and sounded when saying that stupid line:
u know what gets into my head sometimes? seeing the length of the video. im thinking, if the video is rly long (8, 10+ minutes) the question must be harder so when im answering the question, im making it more difficult for myself because i think it's a harder question. but for this question, i purposefully didn't let myself see the time duration for this video and i answered the question faster than the target time.
it's rly the little things that screw with ur head with prepping for this exam
I am not sure if this will help but I thought of it this way: Tom said that the rule Rolanda mentioned only applies to the specific house with a large yard, which is part of the city. However, Rolanda clarified that the rule actually applies to all the other homes they looked at as well. The issue is that Tom assumes the rule is only specific to the house with the large yard, but in reality, it applies to all the homes in that town. Does that make sense?
#help I read it as the house on Oak Avenue being in a different location than Prairieview. So that messed me up and is why I choose C. Any tips on how to not get confused?
@TeklaCo this was one of those questions that I went straight off intuition. After reading the stim, I immediately noticed the issue once I read the last sentence of the stim - even if Tom's "fun fact" is true, all of the houses they've seen have been in the same neighborhood. That means that once Tom's "tax" on yard length is applied, there's still going to be a house with the biggest yard in the neighborhood.
I thought of it like this - if I'm jumping around yelling about how excited I am to cash the biggest paycheck I've ever received, and someone says "well you know they take out 20% of your paycheck, so taper your expectations...." It's still the biggest paycheck I've ever received (probably not to scale with the argument, but nonetheless helpful way to look at it)
@TeklaCo the correct answer (D) is just saying that Tom cherrypicked the situation in which to apply his rule. We know from reading the last sentence of the stim that his rule applies to every house in that neighborhood, so (D) is calling him out on it and asking "why would you suddenly forget to apply your rule to this yard?"

Although the explanations are great. I think an explanation geared to the target time will be a bit more helpful

this might be my best section yet

Am I the only one who thought that the Oak Ave property was not in Prairieview?
i feel like no matter how much i practice flaw questions i don't get any better :/
Same for me but to all the questions. But it will all be worth it soon. Just keep fishing. LFG!

Rolanda: speaks
Tom: Well akshually
Rolanda: -.-
Took me 2:52 but got it correct :))))
Come on Tom!
smh tom
a breath of fresh air after that last one.
I got this in 55 seconds and they still said I am too slow :(
got it in 20 seconds and felt smart until I looked at the difficulty level.
This is an easy one, but I took too long :(

I really like the segments where we phrase the correct answer in different ways. It helps
Can someone help... i am not doing well on this section what so ever...

Thank you so much! this makes more sense!
#help I read it as the house on Oak Avenue being in a different location than Prairieview. So that messed me up and is why I choose C. Any tips on how to not get confused?
I just viewed it as Oak had "Avenue" meaning street. While Prairieview was referring to property lines so I just figured it was the town.
I simply do not understand this question. Too abstract. Makes 0 sense to me & how come this is only a 2 star wow

@Willyc Hi. That is understandable. I simply do not understand how the correct answer choice has anything to do with the stim
