I got this right but I can never figure out when something is "too strong" or not.
I got this right cause I thought to myself "D is the bullshit answer so it's probably correct"
I'm sorry but A is a different flaw. A is saying that because the speech was filled with one issue, the recording will have a different issue.
The Stim says that because the OG painting wasn't accurate, a reproduction of it will ALSO not be accurate.
These are not similar.
I wish these writers were consistent with when one word breaks an answer and when it doesn't. It's basically a coin flip test sometimes.
I chose C and I said to myself "this requires some assumptions but whatever"
Without sounding like a complete jerk, I'm trying to understand why a lot of people had issues with this one.
unpopular with fac -> modify
unpopular with students -> new policy
it will be unpopular with either fac or students
A: Nothing is said about attempting to popularize one way or the other.
B: Same as A. There's no reason to sway either way. Don't care if it reduces popularity.
C: Same as A and B. We don't care if popularity is reduced for one or the other.
D: This one is where it could actually be an answer but it's matched to the wrong thing. Since it must be unpopular with fac or students, if it's popular with students, it's unpopular with fac. If it's unpopular with fac, then we should modify, NOT adopt a new policy.
E: This correctly matches. If popular with fac, then it must be unpopular with students. If unpopular with students -> new policy.
I got this right but even when I picked it I said to myself "this is requiring a couple assumptions for it to work".
I think I broke my brain. I was doing fine and now nothing makes sense anymore. I struggle on every question.
"finding a claim to be false on the grounds that it would if true have consequences that are false"
This is how I translated AC A into what the stim was saying.
"finding a claim to be false" = it is obviously not effective
"on the grounds that it would if true" = suppose that the mixture were an effective cold remedy
"have consequences that are false" = it follows that almost everybody with a cold would be using it / since there are many people who have colds but do not use the mixture
kill me. what is the nonsense test? This is way harder than any other PT I've done.
A didn't make sense to me. I only got it because I eliminated the other ones.
In my opinion, the specific practice test scores mean nothing. You obviously want your average trajectory to go up over time. You should be obsessing over each question that you got wrong or didn't understand fully. You need to know why you thought an answer was right and got it wrong and why you thought the right answer was wrong.
I got this wrong cause I was trying to make B or C fit due to the last part of the passage. The correct answer E didn't even use the last part.
I didn't know what enumerate meant.
