too me 5.5 minutes bc I tried to diagram all answer choices--just need to build confidence on eliminating wrong answers through the shallow dip technique
Very proud of myself lol. I used the shallow dip and answered correctly in 2:41. Now, how that's 1:15 over the goal timing.... Idk. Probably gonna be cooked on these, but this did boost my confidence lol.
I feel like when doing a shallow dip on B I need to consider the presence of the word "few" in the conclusion a match for the word "most" in the conclusion of the stimulus, because few presumably implies /most.
Sunked 2 minutes, but got it correct. Parsing the argument on this one almost threw me because I didn't catch the "auto mechanics" vs "mechanics with expierence" at first. The shallow dipping really saved me from going over a lot though, very useful technique.
Thing is I am writing out the argument in lawgic, because it is hard for me to hold it in my head or really understand the conditional logic without writing. But I imagine that skill comes with practice.
My strategy for fully understanding this question type is trying to get the correct answer within the time constraints using the shallow analysis and deep diving on the blind review. That way you get the benefit of simulating the actual testing experience while still reviewing and making sure you understand the logic behind the answer.
One thing that's helping me keep everything together is to use the highlighter to isolate the key words and the modifier. Once I do that it's a math problem and it only takes a couple of seconds in a first pass.
#FEEDBACK I got this question correct, except the fact that "auto mechanics'' and then just ''mechanics'' really threw me off. How do you know when that is an important or an unimportant factor, in theses types of questions? Or is that tiny detail always important?
When we're tasked with diagramming, are we supposed to be diagramming it in our head and then retaining that diagram whilst shallow-analyzing the answers? Because writing it out on paper (as the testing conditions will dictate) eats up a lot of time.
Need an opinion. I got this one right fairly easily but 95% of the time I skip parallel questions on drills and PT. Do you think I should just focus my time elsewhere? These questions just do not click and I think it is a waste of time for me. Thoughts?

Shallow Dip Worked, I just don't know how
Wow, I cannot believe the shallow dip trick from the previous lesson was going to be this effective! Got it right in 2min!
kind of proud that I got 2:05

I think as soon as I understood the invalid formal argument form of most before most:
A -m-> B -m-> C
____________
A -m-> C
It became 10x easier to find the same reasoning in the answer choices.
Took me 1-2 minutes!
got it right but took me more thn 8 min
it took me 7 minutes because I deep dived them all to make sure I understood but I got it right! :)
WTF how did i get that right, 28 seconds over but WTF
22 seconds over time but GUESS WHO GOT IT RIGHT BABY
shallow dip was lowkey helpful to get down to D and E and then i deep dived
oh brother...
I feel like when doing a shallow dip on B I need to consider the presence of the word "few" in the conclusion a match for the word "most" in the conclusion of the stimulus, because few presumably implies /most.
K wow these first few lessons in this section are magic! I feel like I'm finally understanding!
If there are multiple flaws, do all of those flaws have to match for the answer to be correct in these parallel flaw questions?
So far these are pretty easy (that could change) but 1:26 target is super ambitious.... Time is gonna be a killer on these

Anyway, not too bad, we got this chat.

we got this

lowkey feel like he shoulda been starting us with easy - not level 4 and 5- but i did get this one right under time!!! 165 - UR MINE!
I'm NOT good at these questions, but they're so fun!
