@smileeugenie First off your intuition served you well in inferring the negated all if not overtly clocking how it was working. In this question there wasn't another answer choice that preyed on an imprecise understanding of that translation, but some questions will absolutely catch you out on little things like that. That is why diligent study of language is important for conditional logic questions in particular and for the test broadly.

Secondly, it can be right to move on once you found the answer. The test is so tightly paced that moving on once you've found the answer can help you save time. This is best for questions that are easy to predict the answer for though. However, I always flag questions where I skip some answers so that I can come back if I have time at the end. Like I mentioned before it can be easy to be imprecise with language when you are going fast, or there could be a better answer further down.

I haven't had a huge score jump, but I have been practice testing pretty high ~165. I would say identify why it is you're getting questions wrong. For instance my biggest weakness has always been time crunch. I can usually see the answer if I take forever, but we don't have that kind of time. When I started I was finishing tests an hour past the limit, but studying, drills, and flashcards (I memorize indicator words, not for everyone but it helps me) got me to finishing tests in time by becoming more familiar with the structure of typical questions and answers.

If you're struggling with content, don't just study and drill it, try to explain it to someone else! When I started I could not get Necessary vs Sufficient so I would go on a walk, drag a family member along, and try to explain in detail what I understood and give examples. This would solidify the things I understood and expose the parts I still didn't get so I could go back and try to figure them out. I would google questions, watch youtube videos on the topic, I read all the modules on Khan Academy and took notes. (their content is great, short and dense modules. And free!) 7Sage is a great resource (I love their analytics) but it has a specific way of teaching, I find looking at many different kinds of explanations really helpful.

I also find it helpful to analyze why I got questions wrong on a more granular level. I'll write down why I picked my answer and try to explain in my own words why the right answer is correct. This will often expose to me what was wrong with my reasoning in the moment and give clues to how I should tackle similar questions in the future.

@rosenb1um For me I only do this for question I got wrong and don't understand why. But I'll write down exactly why I thought my answer was correct. Then I'll write down every reason I can think that the correct answer would be right. Then I'll compare that to the answer explanation and people's explanations in the comment. Essentially exploring every argument for either answer until I find the discrepancy or at least understand the argument for the correct answer.

Can someone explain to me how the cat and restaurant arguments are formally equivalent? It seems to me like the cat argument has three variables: cats, mammals, and Garfield, (G>C>M) while the restaurant has only two variables: new restaurants and living standards. (NRO>LSI … NRO is true so LSI is true) would that not catch you out on a match the structure question? I understand they’re both considered conditional logic and we’re not going into the terminology details but ‘formally equivalent’ seems like a strong claim.

@MarisolSanchez I think about it in terms of ‘if then’ statements. If (sufficient condition) then (necessary condition). The ‘if’ part is on the left, the ‘then’ part on the right. If Jedi, then force. If cat, then mammal. They will sometimes put the ‘then’ part before the ‘if’ part so look out for that. ‘You can use the force if you are a Jedi’ is still ‘if Jedi, then force.’ I believe he’ll address exceptions later, but this becomes harder when they use terms like ‘only if’ which proceeds (sufficient condition) only if (necessary condition) or ‘unless’. He’ll probably explain ‘unless’ better than I can though, it’s tricky.
