A critique about the explanations is its very obvious they know the answer and why its wrong, so the explanation just feels like 'think this way' rather than actually TEACHING. Its getting annoying lol
I can definitely tell I'm fatigued and should call it a night lol.
I debunked B-E and forgot there was an A and had no idea what to pick. During blind review, I don't even know why I skipped A either lmao. Ugh I definitely could have gotten it right I believe!
Watching the explanation made me realize I made an assumption about A. In my perspective, "a tiny percentage" in relation to the universe mass could still be a huge number. It kind of feels I thought of it as "many = large amount".
I was overthinking my reasonings trying to do POE. Anyone have any tips to stop doing that esp with POE?

I wish there was a way when taking the exam to have scrap paper to take notes on. Ideally psychical but I could still settle for virtual. I don't know if I'm the only one struggling otherwise. Whenever I PT with scrap paper/notes, I do significantly better. Test day is around the corner so I'm pretty nervous without accommodations!
Just wondering if anyone else is having the same struggles.
Also in Toronto and would love to join!!
Super interested! Are you thinking of applying this fall?
Today, I learned I've been using the word "inferior" wrong, hence why I missed this question. I actually thought they both agreed that his writing was good; as a result, I was SUPER confused about what the answer was.
I genuinely feel so stupid considering the word "superior" exists, and I know exactly what that means. The fact no one has corrected me all my life, and I never pieced this together, is honestly insane.

Despite reading the comments and trying to make sense of why C wasn't right, it finally clicked. What made it more clear to me is understanding the difference between neighbours and neighbourhood.
The stim clearly states satisfaction with their income largely comes from the comparison with their neighbours NOT neighbourhoods at large.
C goes from "neighbour's incomes" to "neighbourhood/same economic class"
Note: living in the same neighbourhood doesnt mean you have the same income, just that you're in a similar economic class.
I understand the logic behind this stim. My issue is with the lawgic. If I did it myself, I would've done:
Premise: NYP → PV ‑m→ /EG
Conclusion: NYP ←s→ /EG
Though, in the lesson, 'C' was not negated. I'm not sure if i'm not getting it or i've been reading too long today. #help
Honestly, I dont know if this is bad but based on the previous lessons, when I read "Such criticism, however, is never sincere" I could tell that was main conclusion and the following would most likely be premise or something else. I didn't want to confuse myself and overthink so I stopped and went with my gut. Might be a good tactic to answer MC questions confidently under time pressure.
I wish there was a practice question after this, so we know an example of a question to use this technique for. #feedback
I'm finding it really helpful to skip the first sentence; it helps me catch all the referentials quicker when I have no context.
NOTE: The author states that although rare, sometimes, the referentials come before the referents. So the above method may not work, but it should mostly always work.
gosh I hate science so much :/
