I have been getting all of these correct based on patterns of quantifiers, prepositions, and conjuncts /disjunctions. I am not reading the stimuli at all or the answer choices, just looking for the most simiar pattern.
2:26 over but i got it! I clicked A first, but still wanted to check the other answer choices..... this burned up time, i should have trusted my intuition.
I think it is better not to kick up ideas for this question type. Premise 2 written as A^B -m-> C gives us a clear indicator that two conditions need to be met to entail C. The additional condition is what makes E correct, but cannot be immediately seen during the first pass if one of the conditions is kicked up i.e. kicking up wastes time and forces us to evaluate answer options twice instead of once.
this question type was killing me in pt, I feel like this fast past tip is amazing/ totally broke down the barier i was experiencing with this question type.
@JunoGrace getting wrecked is fine. This is how we figure out where we need to get stronger i.e. its just part of the process / dont fret*
I feel a little bit robbed because the narrator noted at the beginning of the flaw lesson that all of the correct answers will be sufficient/necessary confusion answer types
3/3 correct so far for these flawed reasoing questions! I feel like Neo from the Matrix when he first started learning how to control his digital environment.
I predicted the answer before seeing the answer choices! It feels like I am entering a new teir of understanding. I am super stoked!
This question's particular placement is designed to make us feel good about flaw questions. So, if anyone failed to get this level 1 flaw question correct , I would take this as a sign to be scared. Flaw and Parallel reasoning questions are the two question types that seperate 170+ test takers from below 170 test takers. Take away: pay particular attention to these next two question types. They are the score killers.
The last two I got correct on blind review. I'm getting close....
These are the kinds of questions that draw a hard line in the sand for those who get into a T14 and those who don't.


2/2! 45 seconds under!
