I used to feel this until I took a couple off days and realized they aren’t detracting from my studies, they’re improving my studies. If you really want what’s best, take some days off. It helped me to not feel guilty once I saw that this time off was actually making me better, making what I’m studying integrate into my mind better/quicker. I don’t know why but your brain really does consolidate what you learn more when you take planned/controlled time off.

What drew me away from A is that it states "physicians' having an unhealthy lifestyle does not constitute incompetence." I get that you weaken an analogy by disanalogizing the two, but A seems to grant that a physician does not have to practice what they preach, AKA physicians are exceptions to the rule. So A grants that the conclusion is correct? Yes A disanalogizes the two but I don't think I've ever seen a correct flaw answer that implies that the conclusion is correct?????

Yes a successful contrapositive. Mixing in culture to your studies 👌

If your BR is at 176 and only with 5 months of study you definitely are not capped out at all. I really think it just takes time to close that real score-blind review gap. But let’s say in some hypothetical world you somehow capped out, again that would be crazy, but you’d probably apply this coming fall anyway which is months away. You might as well try to keep studying and score better over these next 4 months rather than simply waiting to apply.

If you’re consistently 20 points below your goal score, you might as well save the money and wait until you’re somewhat at least in your desired range. If you go in and just take it because you registered and not because you’re ready, you’ll simply just have a low score on record. The odds of getting lucky and somehow outdoing your typical scores is extremely low. There’s not many pros if at all to take the test when not in your desired range yet.

@danjpeach96 the conclusion is “the attempt to contain the outbreak failed.” Have to separate the premise which is indicated by “because.”

It has a premise and conclusion, so yes. If it only had the conclusion, it would simply be a claim.

Scores vary. Just go in and expect you’re going to score the best you’ve ever scored

Really thought I understood de Morgan's law fully but I guess I don't. I understand we get

cap AND (inj OR 500) --> report... totally get that. Then we see we fail the necessary, so obviously I'm looking to just get the contrapositive in the answer so I made:

not report --> incap OR (not inj AND not 500).. but the video makes not report --> incap OR (not inj OR not 500) and keeps the or the same from the original sufficient condition?? my question is why does the "and" connection between the "unless" clause and the original sufficient get switched from AND to OR when switching to the contrapositive but the original sufficient conditions "or" (inj OR 500), doesn't switch to and?? I get the first switch due to de Morgan's but not making this second switch from or to and seems like it goes against de Morgan's law?? Just want to make sure my diagramming is flawless.

@Ilovethistest Granted I didn't even think of this till I was reviewing this after the test, and I realize I'm being very clingy to strict logical rules, but technically wash --> sometimes howl is what Es conclusion would translate to.

I don't understand how we're saying Es conclusion and stimulus conclusion are different. I realize the explanation is saying that E's conclusion creates benefit --> sometimes prefer, due to the group 1 "anyone" but stimulus conclusion has a logical indicator that I feel could create wash --> sometimes howl which would match E. I realize "must" and "anyone" are different but they're both still conditional indicators. I feel like if stimulus conclusion truly matched C it would just say "so Jack's dog sometimes howls while he's washing it." Why is stimulus conclusion allowed to have "must" yet match C and not E?

@Ilovethistest actually after review I made a lot of mistakes and the sections kind of do seem more normal than i thought.

@rijjibear worst PT I’ve ever taken

I was surprised to score my best practice test score on the actual. I think it depends on the type of person probably.

There’s not a ton of upside to canceling a score. Only way I could see it being helpful is if you took it the second time and scored lower, then I’d seriously consider hiding it. But if you do actually get 164-168 next time, they will take the highest score and will see improvement which they’ll respect.
