I'm a software engineer, and this is essentially the difference between ">" and ">=". Which is a common small bug coders run into when being sloppy. Which sucks because I fell for it. I was so confident in C. I didn't even read down to E. I guess lesson 1 will be "Read all the answers" lol
I originally chose A and realized I was adding information that wasn’t actually proven. The stimulus only guarantees B- or higher, not A- or higher.
This question really showed me how important it is to stay within what is 100% supported and not make assumptions, even if they seem reasonable. Definitely a good reminder to focus on the wording and not overextend the conclusion.
Guys do not worry, Most = more than half.. the stem is saying "more than half (most) got B minus or higher" dont over think it. The reason that C is wrong is because it excludes B- and we know nothing about "B" scorers in itself because the stem only mentions B-... just paying attention to verbiage helps .
@KhyberBabak It was confusing the first day I looked at it. But when I came back the next day, I understood the different explainations. Sometimes leaving and coming back to it helps.

Answer C… fell right into it.
@WilltheFifth Same. I originally thought of E, but then second guessed and picked C.
The new curriculum / UX looks amazing
Hmmmmmm, not the best start but hey its day one.
@BenPlath you’re not alone! Lol
@BenPlath Felt.

Is it just me or is the explanations a little confusing?

I got the answer correct, but after watching this, I feel like I got it out of pure luck 😭
chat are we cooked?
I chose E originally, but then thought another answer was better and it cost me my point :/
@aliahgarcia1 Me too.
I am a lawyer in training. I am a lawyer in training. I am a lawyer in training. 😭😭😭
@Jonesag0 THIS!
I'm cooked
I chose B. This is going in my wrong answer journal. I was going too fast and lacked the understanding I should have had. Lesson learned.
@Rhonda87 B then D for my blind review. RIP
@Rhonda87 It took me awhile to accept that B was not the answer. I understand why E was the answer but B sounded correct too.
the lion does not concern himself with "a grade higher than b minus"
Everyone starts as a novice in a new skill.
man i dont understand shit im lowkey cooked asf but we ball
This is all about learning so let's keep plugging alone shall we?
In short,
More than half of the students received a grade of B minus or higher.
This is because more than half of the students made a B- or higher and everyone else made a C+ or lower
I fell for the trap. It's so hard.
Already wanna quit and I've gotten one thing wrong
@tessapys #cooked
@tessapys me too
Fell for the C trap but I think it is important I learned that lesson. This is the time to make mistakes so we can learn from them!

@alexisfigueroa I am signing up for June, and it is your first day mistakes are normal it is how you learn. You will do well!
I’m cooked

I def fell for C immediately
Humbled, but I learned something important
