Are you mapping the passages on paper with good translations? I'm seeing significant improvements from doing so. I was skeptical that it would cost me valuable time, but having to consciously translate/log the ideas per passage is really helping me be forced to understand the content so I'm able to get through the questions quickly and accurately.

If you're already mapping and not having luck, have you tried translating the passages and then comparing your translation to the explanations to see if what you interpreted is in fact in line with the 7sage translation? Maybe there's a blind spot there that you are missing.

What is with the description of why E is wrong?

Increased levels of CO2 would increase plant growth, but the rate of global warming would ultimately increase.

"This is not stated in the passage. Billings never compares the rate of peat decomposition in wet tundra grasslands to peat decomposition anywhere else."

It feels like AI autogenerated this one and I'm not seeing a similar conclusion in any of the actual tutor replies below.

only :19 over and right on the first try ? finally some good(ish) news

This one is kind of unfair because I feel like "larger sea animals" means sea animals that are large, not any animal larger than plankton, which to me, indicated that E was more likely the answer because fish, birds, and plankton are all "organisms".

I'm really stumped by this question because it seems (to me) to be the kind of question you can't reasonably form a pattern recognition formula for--or if you can, it's not going to be a quick one. This is particularly frustrating as someone trying to hone my "pattern recognition" skills especially because I know my speed is my biggest obstacle right now. Anyone have any insight on that, or is this just really a tough ass question that I just need to cross my fingers and hope I never see again?

Brains are so weird, I was never interested in answer E, but based on the comments, several people were. Don't worry, not a humble brag, I also got it wrong because C/D tripped me up since nothing about those two was ~mentioned~ so I chose B like a dummy. Fully expected to get it wrong solely on my own second guessing. :/

Do we need to request here to be added still? I see that it's currently at capacity, but would like to be added once capacity increases. Please and thank you!

@rjon27 did the exact same thing ughhh

Initially immediately picked A but then second guessed it and changed my answer. ughhhhhhhhhh

Knew the answer and then overthought it and changed to the wrong answer twice because I was convinced the “easy” answer couldn’t be right 😑

I think this one is really weird. D jumped out to me first as a possible answer, but then I changed my mind because I was like "wait why would we care about the other marketing campaigns" -_-

Feeling pretty good that I did not fall for the trap.

Is anyone else getting questions correct, but then they're flagged for blind review? Is there something I'm not doing right despite getting the answer correct or is that just a weird glitch?

—I figured it out y’all, it’s a setting you have to turn off! It auto flags for too much time/too little time spent regardless of correct answer.

Hmm not a fan of this one. I thought D sounded correct, but I was skeptical that I was attaching too much of my own personal bias as a nature lover so I chose E. Now it turns out my personal bias was right? 😵‍💫
