Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone had on advice of how to best practice logical reasoning with a mix of questions? I'm fine on accuracy and timing if I focus on a particular question type like on the drills, but I'm loosing accuracy once I take the timed practice tests. Is there a good method anyone has figured out to practice the mixed questions that minimizes taking out sections from the practice tests? (I don't want to use too many sections LR of the practice tests, since I want to save them for use as practice tests).

Thanks,

Michelle

Could someone please help me to find where in the course I can find how to deal with "logically complete question stem". I am working on PT 59 S2 Q24 and I think I misinterpreted what was required. Are these questions MBT or MC?

Pure sequencing game. Rule was something like W is before S OR S if before T BUT NOT BOTH... I was drawing a blank for a while. Doesn't that mean, in a nutshell, S will never be b/w W & T either before both or after both? Also, how do you draw that into your grand scheme efficiently? This game should have taken 6m, but drained 12 due to me not handling those 2 "or/not both" rules well.

Ok..I feel there is just no way I could have got this question. It is a most strengthen question and I feel the answer choice weakens the argument. The job is to sure up the fact that a volcanic event is the probable cause rather than meteorites. The part of B that says 'no known natural cause would likely account ...' I was thinking isn't meteorite as well as volcanoes natural causes so I immediately eliminated it. What do you guys think about this question?

Hi, I come across this problem in argument part questions: is a hypothesis the same thing as a statement?

I usually eliminate the wrong answer choices by matching them up to the stimulus (Ex. I eliminate the answer choice starts with "it is a premise " because I id'ed the statement as a conclusion). But some argument part questions describes statements differently (A) "This is a statement" or B) "this is a hypothesis for which the author supports." Should we eliminate answer choices that call it a hypothesis when it is a statement? Is there even a difference.

Ex: Is a "Fetuses develop fingernails in the third week of development" a statement?

Is " Scientists say fetuses develop fingernails in the third week" a hypothesis?

This question is very difficult because I just cannnot understand the stimulus. Could I please get an explanation of this question stem and answer choices?

First sentence I diagrammed as: wind & below 84-> pleasant. The second part of this question I diagrammed as : above 84 or no wind ->oppressive. I incorrectly got answer choice (B) it has something to do the the humidity but I was able to add it to my diagramming. Help please.

I do not understand the difference between answer choice C and D. How do you suggest that I decipher between two choices that are so close. I tried to incorporate them into the passage and incorrectly thought that D was a winner.

I've noticed that in some LR questions, there would be sentences that start off like "Even though","although". These sentences are qualifying the the argument a bit more correct? I remember in one particular video something about this, I think it was acknowledging something so as to prevent the reader from using it against the argument or something like that...

What are your opinions on this?

Hello there. Question on point of issue questions - which is better? doing the list method or reading through and determining the disagreement/agreement?

Fumbling between methods made me lose time on my recent PTs. I either start list method and then find the POI is easy to see and lose time or try reading and have to do list method because POI is not too clear cut.

Advice appreciated. Thanks 7sagers!
