#help during timed questions, would it be smart to write down our low-res summaries for each paragraph on scratch paper, so if we need a refresher, we can quickly glance back at it instead of revisiting the passage? Thank you.
are people re-reading the passage? I want to have real analytics on how long it takes me to read the passages but by the time we try these questions we've already read from the passage in the previous lessons. unsure what to do since i want to work on my timeliness
#feedback: Second paragraph: If you don’t remember this aspect of the passage, it would be a good idea to skim the last paragraph to understand Lesky’s perspective better before going to the answer choices.
@kimwexler You also have to keep in mind the main point of the whole passage, this almost tripped me up too. But since the debate is over whether or not the dramas are tragic because of the deities interference or not then C would be right because its answering the "big question" about the passage not just part of it.
I think about it like "why do i care about his or her life what about the tragedy of the drama"
I need Kevin with me on test day, these low res summaries have me confidently answering the questions in ~20 seconds. I guess that's why people stress spending significantly more time on understanding the passage is beneficial.
i honestly feel like the reason i am getting all these RC questions correct is because Kevin explained the passage so well...gonna need to bring him to my test
This was one was killer for me, I originally thought C but chose D because I made the (perhaps unreasonable) assumption that Rivier's take that the internal compulsions are a result of the force of deities implies that they are not morally responsible for their actions. In my mind, this points to a strong disagreement with Leskie's view that characters are still morally responsible for their own desires, despite the strong role played by the gods as well.
I see now how C is a stronger choice, but wow RC is tough.
@christopherjbarr1 Yeah, I think it's so natural for our mind to make the logical leap when reading paragraph 3 that obviously Agamemnon made a bad decision...but Lesky never says that. And beyond that, since Rivier doesn't make any moral evaluations, D is wrong for a second reason too.
It won't allow me to scroll and see the passage so i am only able to go back and read the first paragraph . is it supposed to be like this ? #help #feedback

@CarlosHernandez03 I didnt read it since i re-read it on the last YouTry but I would if I had started studying for the day
@CarlosHernandez03 I just double checked a few things from the passage instead of re-reading it entirely
was 32 seconds over the time frame but I got it right! :)
#feedback please keep my highlighted and underlined passages when I am doing the same passage, but different questions.
was stuck between c and d, still got the right answer though :)
#feedback. Throughout the captions, "Lesky" is read as "Lesthi"
Yay 2 right in a row

Low res ftw!
I keep getting these RC questions correct, but, my timing is horrible lol
I am so confused why B incorrect and C is correct. I read the explanation over and over but its not clicking.

I pray to GD that the questions are as easy as this on my test day. Please GD give me the power! BZH.
im the goat......
I am already enjoying this 10x more than the LR section

#feedback The subtitles keep saying "Lesthi" instead of "Lesky"

Are you using the Quickview button to look at the passage? I'm not able to recreate what you're describing.
