He explains the wrong ACs so fast in the explanation video. For someone who knows this stuff that's cool but for someone who is struggling, it's being taught too fast lol.

@DanielleK Remember, it's not a Must Be True question. It's not asking what has to be true but rather what would most likely be useful to know.

I wish the video showed the negation of each AC because that's how I try to solve NA questions :(

I thought the first sentence was the conclusion which threw me off. Once you know that isn't the conclusion it makes sense why the correct AC is right.

@ksh9665264 same I got all right except the main point question and I hate science passages lol

The reason why I got many questions wrong at first was bc I didn't catch the author's opinion. Once I understood it I went back to redo the questions and I got them right. The author's opinion is key!!!

I got (C) wrong, because I thought it was too strong. I understand same answers won't be mentioned in the passage (apples, plums), but then again the author never said grapes were the only type of fruits to reduce the risk of premature heart disease. However, this is an IMPLIED question not a Must be True. This question is asking what the author will probably think or is likely to think, NOT what it knows for sure is true. The AC does not have to be proven to be true in the passage.

I didn't choose (E) because "new insights" caught me off guard. I thought it was too strong. But once I went back to review, it seemed like the only logical answer choice. On RC, "new insights" can mean a view that is different from the traditional view. It offers a NEW perspective relative to the existing scholarship, even if the author never writes "this is new".

oh wow I confused non-charitable to charitable for answer choice (B), which is why I immediately eliminated it. Once I did the question again I noticed the difference and chose that answer choice.

One of the reasons why (C) is wrong is because the question stem is asking how is the paragraph organized/structured NOT what ideas appear in the paragraph.

Ahh I got this wrong because I read the question stem too fast and thought we had to focus on both claims, not just the first one. I was confused on how to tie both claims to the conclusion. Once I read why the correct AC is (C)., it made sense when we are just focusing on the first claim.

@JR2003 in paragraph 2 it says ..."are often credited with having anticipated not just subsequent developments in the arts, but also the political and social disruptions and upheavals of the modern world that came into being during and after the war." But this is not the author's opinion, it's the perspective of other people (not relevant to stimulus)

oh wow, the reason I got this wrong is bc of the stimulus which says "according to the author". I was thinking that other people have thought that these artists give examples that they can predict social changes so that couldn't be the right answer choice. But we only care about the author's opinion, not others.

I got this wrong because I was so confused on how to negate B. I negated it wrong and thought it destroyed the argument lol....

@JR2003 okay so I looked it up and a counterexample = gives a similar case that makes the politician's reasoning look questionable.

I got this wrong bc I didn't think this was a counterexample....

@stef I literally thought the same when I was choosing (B)

The word "erroneous" caught me off guard so bad and made me think another way :(

@Stas1973 I'm not sure if this helps but the stimulus never says that animals do not experience intellectual stimulation. It just says that humans are superior in that aspect.

Omg I chose A bc I misread the 1st sentence. I thought it was a small sample because I read "their place of employment" as the economist's place of employment (1 job place only), rather than the different places of employments from the people who are being sampled! In other words, it can mean 1 million different jobs. The stimulus does not tell us the amount of employments that were taken under consideration.

yayyy 5/5. Moments like this make me keep pushing! I'm not where I want to be yet in terms of my overall core but I know I can do it.

how did 86% get this right, when I was reading it I was like wtf

@fr180 same :///

@lsat7sjaidfjod okay periodddd

@AndrewPhillips I'm not diagramming. If you feel confident, don't, and jump straight to the answer choices. If you digram during the actual test it will take too long. Diagram if you are practicing and feel very stuck between answer choices or don't understand the stimulus.
