Hi all, one of my remaining weak spots for LR is phenomenon hypothesis. I have watched the videos walking through the approach to these questions, and also feel confident in my ability to identify the phenomenon/hypothesis when doing the questions, but I still have some of my lowest accuracy in these questions. Does anyone have some tips for Phenomenon Hypothesis that go beyond being able to identify the phenomenon/hypothesis and any potential alternative hypotheses?

This is slightly more niche for only some PH questions, but something J.Y says a lot is when there’s two groups that are affected differently somehow, like whether it’s different types of people in an experiment or two cities or two roads or whatever, the answer choice needs to apply differently to each one. so before i lock in an AC, I usually think through how it pertains differently to the two things that the stim is pointing out a difference in. This is kinda obvious LOL but it’s easy to forget sometimes and get lost in more complicated phenomenon hypothesis questions!
@lockedin this is great these are the exact types of things I'm looking for! Like you said it can be pretty obvious but sometimes it just slips the mind with other concerns when looking at questions, I will be sure to try and think about this more going forward and use it as a bit of a check like you said
following/commenting to see if this gets more traction because i'm in the same boat. I've been watching some of the advanced causality classes and I totally get it while watching and working on the accompanying drill -- but it's just not really clicking the way i need it to click during the actual testing experience
