I thought PT144, Section 2 was one of the worst LR sections I've ever done lol so if you think it was a breeze, I'm sure you're more than ready for August! Best of luck, you got this!!

@Jett2100 /s

Y'all are absolutely the best!!

Y'all, don't lose hope. I got this question wrong months ago both timed and on BR. Randomly solved it again today, and immediately thought "Oh, it's definitely D!!" It does get better, hang in there!

@AudreyGilmour made more sense now, thank you!!

For C, I immediately eliminated it because we're told that this subset of introverted people are sensing the rise but they don't know if their blood pressure is rising because of the stress of communication or due to physical exertion from speech production.

Just sensing the rise does nothing to strengthen the argument that it's due to the stress of communication.

@SerinJ thank you so much for the encouragement!! And congrats on your score jump :')

@JohnKersey Me too!! the newer questions have more subtle arguments and the explanation videos for them are often not clicking for me because they keep making many assumptions that they told us not to make in other question explanations. So, to have tutors in a live class setting go over them would be very beneficial since we can actively ask for clarification.

Had a stroke while picking between these answer choices, I gotta get my fruits and veggies up huh.

@LawyeRell took it in april, unfortunately it's not :((

that article already talks about what changed from before August 2024 to then after August 2024. It talks about how the essay used to be simpler than it is now and how people had less time than we do now. It's not outdated, the article talks about the current way we're supposed to write the essay with one question given and various perspectives supplied for us to use when arguing our side.

@HunterThoss we up boss!!

Thank you!! :')

I am extremely sorry for your loss!! I don't really have sound advice on how to get back on the consistent studying schedule but you went through such a hard time so go easy on yourself. Take it slow maybe for a few days, slowly ease back into your old habits. Do an hour today, an hour and a half tomorrow, and just gradually increase it. Think of how much this means to you and also your mom. Wishing you the best of luck, hang in there.

How is E not attacking a premise? we are being told that "over half of people who have parachuted only once report being extremely frightened by the experience" and then E comes and says sike that's actually not the case. Most people who have parachuted many times didn't find it frightening initially (meaning the first time they tried it). Am I crazy?

@treigysmartynas592 wait where exactly did they clear it up? I didn't catch on to that while reading, pity :(

I'm not convinced that Binh wasn't denying Kira's conclusion. He explicitly says "merely drawing a profit in no way implies that buying one of its policies is unwise" which directly contradicts Kira's conclusion of "it would be unwise to buy that insurance policy".

This is so tiring.

The light bulb explanation for C has a wrongly spelled word. "Obestity" instead of obesity. It's insignificant, but still wanted to share it just in case someone wants to fix it.

A is the right answer because we are told at the beginning that each student was given a different condition by the 1st attending physician. Since they weren't given any leading questions during the exam a week later, and they just asked about the medical condition the physician mentioned to them the week before, there is no way that they tested the same condition as the others on the 2nd week.

We are explicitly told they all were given different medical conditions and then were given nothing else the 2nd week, so it's most strongly supported that on the 2nd occasion/week, none of the students could test the same medical condition.

I check the written ones first in case it's a really obvious explanation that instantly makes me go "ahhh how did I miss this?!" But if it doesn't give me a light bulb moment (no pun intended), that's when I watch the videos for a more detailed explanation. So both are equally helpful.

The way he just says OMG and then abruptly ends the recording after reading answer choice E cracked me up haha
