does anyone have any tips with encountering analogy questions which requires you to pull connections out of your ass? I got all the questions for this passage right before this but I think this is the first time i've ever submitted and blind reviewed with 0 confidence in any of the ac's
i feel like i'm only doing well on these because Kevin breaks down the passage so well for us that i remember the information better when answering the questions.
@mzughaerr does anyone know how to analyze like kevin but quickly to retain the info? his breakdowns really do help me remember the info and retain key points
Someone please let me know if they do the same thing or if this helps them.
The way I'm attacking this question is to fully understand the passage and pick the answer I would use to explain the phenomenon to someone else. Like, it would make the most sense to talk about manufacturing pottery and what materials and tactics you use, because it's similar to the glass in the passage.
Does that make sense? Maybe i'm going a little crazy. Glass? Cathedrals? melting?
I get almost every RC question wrong and I spend about 3 hours a day trying to understand it. Does anyone have any helpful tips on how to tackle these questions? Starting to feel like I can't do this.
Hey! In the passage we did before this hard passage, I got almost all the questions wrong ... so you are not alone.
I did not let that defeat me because those questions stim were new to me. I feel that you should try to read the passage and answer the question in one setting otherwise you will forget the analysis that you did for it.
RC will come to you over time of practicing tone of them but for now, take it slow with understanding how to tackle and understand the concepts in the passage and how to do each type of question. Even if you get wrong go back and see why! also don't rush through the question thinking you have it. If you are between 2 choices try giving it another thought.
You will get 7/7 on all the passages!!!! keep using the method. I am on the same boat as you so you got this!!
You probably already got there, but at the last 15-20 seconds of the video in the next question (lesson 24/26), Kevin addresses people who are having the same feelings as you. If you already heard it, it might be a good idea to hear it again!
Read more. My science reading abilities improved dramatically by reading like 1-2 science articles a day. You don’t have to read a million a day or anything super long form, but reading more will help.
Also remember everything you need is in the passage.
Nature (.com lol), National Geography, and The Atlantic. I think the Atlantic i eventually had to get a subscription to because they stopped having free COVID coverage. Nature can have some really difficult “I need an science degree” articles so The Atlantic and Nat Geo were a little more friendly. For the Atlantic, I really recommend Ed Yong’s articles.
Tbh The Atlantic also has some good art and history opinion pieces (I just didn’t read them and let my subscription expire 😭).

Where did you go to read these science articles?
