5/5! I can't stress how important it is to build the habit of explaining why every wrong AC is wrong like J.Y. does. It's completely changed my ability to see through the forest to the correct answer.
@ImanMozaffarian do you have any other tips for looking through the answer choices, I feel like I can read the stimulus and understand it but once I start reading answer choices my brain blocks
@LayalBazzi4 There's a lot of great strategies and each has it's time and place (flaw prephrasing, refusing to choose wrong answers, negation tests, abstracting, etc), but if you don't have the stamina to take in hundreds of arguments and thoroughly comprehend them, then there's no use beating yourself for not using strategies well enough.
Building up your stamina and valuing good studying over mindless word slop is invaluable. Simple habits like reading dense academic journals and pausing every 5 minutes to summarize what I just read have helped me have increased clarity in reading comprehension and argument analysis. Feel free to DM me if you want to chat about studying! I'd love to hear about your journey.
Failed almost every "You Try", which I wasn't surprised by, because I'm terrible at flaw questions, but I just got 4/5, so there might be hope for me after all.
@meepmeep Yeah, I know I keep getting similar questions. Are you by any chance doing drills alongside CC? My assumption is that it gives you the questions first and then repeats them in drills. At least that’s what’s happening for me. Are you experiencing the same thing, or do you think it’s just a system bug?
The worst offender is in RC, When you get the dreaded “stained glass” passage, I did it as a lesson set, and then my next two drills had that exact same passage.
Well, after constantly getting lvl 4 & 5 questions right during the curriculum, I somehow scored a 1/5 and 3/5 on BR. Can't even feel a pang of sadness anymore, just numb to it all

I have seen this barn owl question probably 5 times. Ugh. It's a throwaway at this point I just remember it.

#feedback, it would be great if we could reset drills and You Try Qs so when we are reviewing material, we can try again w/o knowing the answers.
