Does the study plan take into account my 7Sage stats... like organizing curriculum based on my question type priorities?

I was unsatisfied with the wording but ChatGPT helped me identify my issue, so here in case it's helpful for anyone.

B says: He defends a principle (Handwriting analysis should be banned in court as evidence of a person's character) by restricting the class to which it is to be applied (should only be applied to irresponsible analysts).

In other words, he agrees to one instance when the analysis should banned (while explaining how to fix the issue).

how I came to understand it: so you want me to wear sunblock to prevent melanoma bc sunblock prevents sunburn… but what’s the relationship between sunburn and melanoma that would make that work?/ why does preventing sunburn help prevent melanoma? A says, actually we have no evidence of this relationship

Lesson learned: anther way to weaken is asking what if you haven’t made this information relevant to your conclusion?

In one of my most recent sections, I got 6 questions wrong. 5 of them were before question 11. Ironic!

🙃 Confused

How can I close the gap between my timed score and my Blind Review score?

I am going through what I thought was a J curve except I haven’t recovered yet. I am scoring lower than I was when I started taking regular PTs about 2 months ago. My past few PTs have been in the highs 150s, but my Blind Review are between 168-176. Does anyone have any tips for how to close this gap?

I am focusing on the types of questions that I get wrong but wondering if there was anything specific I could do to try to get to my BR score during timed PTs as well. Thank you!

missed key word "and argued that it was therefore inappropriate." i read over the therefore and thought of the two categories as separate from each other. But the argument is making one dependent on the other:

P: Infl-> Inapp.

P: /inf (Riley's unreliable)

C: /inf->/inapp

But we can't conclude anything about the NA from negating the SA, so both inflammatory and not inflammatory could be consistent with inappropriate. So wrong to conclude /NA.

I had issues with A because it hasn't been established that the damage caused by surfactant is proportional to the amount present. Even if A is true, wouldn't that other assumption be necessary for it to weaken the argument?

Very unsatisfying answer choice. It helped me to understand that the question is asking what the author probably thinks. If the author thinks that bc grape has a health benefits, it is the only fruit that has that effect, without evidence that the rest of the fruits don't have that effect, the author may be committing a flaw... But the point is that, flawed or not, the author is likely to think that no grape, no health benefits.

I got this one right on a misunderstanding of the stim so wanted to check my thinking. I thought, what if teeth coloration is affected by when the teeth were discarded rather than time of the animal's death? In that case, coloration couldn't be used to prove year round hunting which couldn't be use to support a not nomadic lifestyle. Is this interpretation of a premise allowed or is it questioning a premise?

I’m in the same situation! And it’s very frustrating. Personally, I miss questions during timed tests because of misreading a word or overlooking a specific detail. Would love any advice!

I understand that more kinds does not mean more lamps. But why does more efficiency mean more lamps vs the same amount of lamps produced with fewer resources or in record time? I ended up picking D, not because I thought it was a great answer- I can see its relation to the number of lamps, but C and E seemed to required similar logic.

this feels like an unfair question. I've gotten so many questions wrong for making extra assumptions that I thought the stimulus wouldn't support that obesity was the same as fat tissue, much less, any fat issue without specifying fat tissue in rodents. What if it works differently in humans? Lastly, "depends on angiogenesis" felt like really strong language since we don't know the causal mechanism. if anyone overcame these issues, please let me know your thought process!

my reasoning in BR:

RS> R

some RS (so some Reasonable beliefs) > neither /SE or /GOE

AHH if "some" are /SE and also /GOE, then "some" that are not one are also not the other

another way i eliminated D is that even if there was a third civilization that created the tombs first, it doesn't weaken the fact that Oromo could have influenced Swahili culture. It just says someone else did it first, not that Oromo and Swahili both learned from them instead of from each other.

I fell for B because I thought the position mentioned in B was be the position of the argument, which rejects the position that punishment... My reasoning was that if I reject position A, my position is that I reject position A. So the statement in question could be inferred from my position (of rejecting position A) which I seek to defend. BUT this is wrong because the statement in question doesn't follow from my position; my conclusion disagrees with that statement. The statement follows from the position I'm rejecting.

I got it right but spent 4 min on it without realizing it... what a waste! Should skip questions like this and save time for questions I may get more easily.
