I tend to have a very high accuracy rate on main point questions whereas I often miss primary purpose ones. Even on the same stimulus, I can get the main point correct and the primary purpose wrong. I feel like the two question types test similar skills, so I'm not really sure why this keeps happening. Any insight would be much appreciated :)

    I don't know if this is a bit too obvious but I think of it as the argument vs the intended audience, so the two are pretty different question types to me. Main point = the summary of the argument while the primary purpose = the reason the argument is being made. I'm the opposite of you lol I'm pretty good with purpose but bad at main point
