haii heres my process for doing this timed and correct in 1:33 (done during a 5-question timed drill) if anyone gaf (i am still improving at CR it is one of my weak spots lol)

1. did a fast read and was like ? the fact that i went ? told me that if im investing the extra seconds to read it again i HAVE to diagram it again, theres no point in me trying to mentally do it bc im not gonna automatically get it in a 5 sec difference - this was something i had to work on and i think its helped with timing a lot

2. roughly plotted it as the following (my diagramming may be wrong im sorry i suck at it):

   m -> a -> b

   some a -> NOT m

   therefore, some B -> NOT m

3. keep the first line of ur diagram in the forefront when going down, that's the only way ur gonna be able to cut down answers fast enough. if it fails instantly do NOT keep reading. at some point if the first line matches, compare the second - if it doesn't match, keep it pushing sonion

i know a lot of ppl have suggested starting from the bottom up for these kinds of questions bc the writers r evil. i havent tried it yet, but i have trust issues (im working on it).. and it eases my mind a little to at least SKIM the answers esp on a question which i wasn't 100 on

okie baiii :3 gl baes

ngl i wasted time on this by doubting that this was a suff nec flaw for some reason. even though the second i finished reading the flaw, it was so obvious what it was sigh..do not doubt urself guys WE are all super smart

this question is so beautifully evil i have to pat them on the back, i felt so dumb getting it right in BR bc i ran out of time my first around...

tf is that male cat

just turned it off awwww its so cute with the little bow :3

having dark mode on literally caused a jumpscare when that cat showed up LMAO

@Goronu hooray

got this wrong the first time, and then did a pseudo-ish blind review a few days later...realized i misread the stem and it was a rejection question lol...got it right 2nd pass fairly quick with poe. initially chose A on my misread as the stem being an MSS and rejected the others for the following:

A - this is too far a reach, what if Demos's friend was being a chud and not wanting to get up from his seat to come over

B - yea i dont know that fs from the stim lol

C - yea i dont know that fs from the stim lol

D - skipped it bc it was weird at first..but then its like everything else is certified garbage, this AC is like recycling...within the bounds of this question we are explicitly given a scenario that is similar to what D describes. it requires the smallest assumption out of them all, which is that the expression of amazement was a silent one. def not a comfy answer choice i get that tho ngl.

E - yea i dont know that fs from the stim lol

mmm fish fingers

what?? how tf r we supposed to know the judge gave the instruction lol

yea this isnt 4:30 am question... it took 2 business days bc i just couldnt visualize "did not show a reduction" ts pmo..i bet if i look at this later im gonna be like oh....

poe really saved my ass here wow... actual full court shot considering i had no clue what preponderance meant lol

congrats!!! share sum brains my way </3

i briefly contemplated on E before locking in B, the easiest way to eliminate E is simply by it requires you to make too many assumptions. Especially if you are a bit familiar with how using a credit card works, you may go into a mini rabbit hole of fees and things like that, especially in connection to the line "to avoid carrying cash and writing checks". While yes we can assume it would be nice to have your cc work everywhere, it overreaches and preys on your notions of what would be desired (hello amex users)

ok wait i somehow did this under time lol. a lot of SA questions regardless of difficulty have really irrelevant choices that u can eliminate via a quick skim (here it was a, c, and d). you dont even need to map this, the premises say (at least to me):

arvue: ok ig u outsiders can join our club if ur fully qualified - but hah wait sike we only taking the most locked in mf, cons of not alr working here boohoo

so e is right since they got no mans to ask within the company and said "aight delacruz ur up twin"

i initially almost got tripped on b since i didnt read it properly and it roughly matched the prediction i had in my head of "krall not being hired automatically tells me he isnt arvue mans, which mean they are looking externally, and based on productivity so it seems like delacruz is the man"

but b basically says: ok of those who already DONT work for arvue, delacruz is productive - but we dont gaf and ride for arvue fam,

there the end

@MayaVM me too lol, but then if they were diverging it would mean it was a fork in the path. so if ur walking on a road there's 2 paths and since they split off, its to be assumed that they won't be to the same place (2 diff approaches), versus 2 identical straight (parallel) paths which will inevitably lead u to the same place

update: pens came in today! they write much better than i anticipated, quite similar ot a muji ball point +the yellow pen has a gorg banana yellow ink and the other 2 are black! loved them :D would love to see some stickers, notebooks, or future law student merch!

yea bruh this passage aint it

YAYY just got pens, thank u for the free shipping!! the shipping cost was the only (don't say it...) thing stopping me from having cute pens to do my diagrams and low-res summaries :3

yea sure whatever bro

wait YAY - slowly but surely

how it gen feels to get it right and diagram it the exact same way as my goat JY

WE will be shallow dipping chat, this video is super helpful!

bruh wtf take me back to sa and na i cant w ts i think i have gotten every You Try wrong before this and this was just 3/5 barely

yippee (i just got my last 2 questions wrong)
