I like to think of support with the word "therefore"

Tigers are very aggressive and can cause serious injuries to people THEREFORE not every mammal is suitable to keep as a pet

This trick doesn't work with every situation, but it can be helpful for starting off to recognize the patterns.

This sounded so motivational! Thank you for this.

Coming back from a month of not studying and get hit with this RC Drill.

3/7; BR: 4/7

I forgot just how much I dislike RC. Also, there is no way that this is a level 2 passage!

JY's explanation of this really helped. I was breaking my head thinking of how women's crafts weren't really studied through traditional means and wound up choosing E. But he broke it down so easily. 

I find this question to be very ugly. Although I understand it, I still hate it.

I hate how much sense the correct AC is. I can't believe I fell for the wrong answer.

3/5 and 4/5 on BR. The questions I got wrong were both lv. 5 questions, after watching the explanations, it makes more sense. I just need to remember the basics of diagramming when I am getting confused on the wording.

Also, if you guys can't get enough do PT 135 S4 Q23, it's a logical nightmare.

@elephant15 If I understood correctly, then the method used was the following:

Conclusion: If strong position --> consider conflicting evidence

Correct AC:

/consider conflicting evidence --> /strong position

And then you would use the contrapositive, which would be:

strong position --> consider conflicting evidence

How is it that over 50% of students actually understood this logic monstrosity. It took me two sessions to understand and my head is still hurting.

The written version of this lesson is a menace for AC D

Hmm, I can think of so many controversial examples so perhaps something anodyne. Alright, let’s do Christianity. 😇 I doubt the founders of Christianity intended for the Spanish Inquisition.

Finally got one of the questions right AND under the target timing!

Just looked up Dvorak keyboards, and they look complicated to switch over. But I am curious on getting one for fun.

I agree, but I know for a fact I will be struggling when we hit the lv 4 and 5 questions.

After this comment, I had to look them up.

Right!?!? I for sure thought it was a 2, maybe 3.

The dedication this took to make this.

Honestly, I was not a fan of any of the choices. I feel like the correct AC goes against what we have been taught. No where does the stimuli talk about complexity and what makes an inferior theory. We know what makes part of a superior theory, but that does not give us enough to discuss what makes something inferior.

3/5

Don't get me started on Pat.

Diagramming

Infant --> /voluntary sound

Toddler --> voluntary sound

-----------------------------------

Motor Control --> Speech Acquisition

What's missing:

AC A: voluntary sound --> Motor Control

Got it right. But this does not feel like a lv. 1 question.

yo what up

Here's my explanation:

Other Critics: Negative news -> harm economy --> affect spending

Economist: confidence in me --> spending --> harms economy

A: confidence in me --> harm's economy

In the context we have, this would look like:

confidence in me

-> harm economy because of damaging people's confidence

Negative news

This would not connect the chain as we would jump from confidence in me to harm economy to negative news,

whereas D states: harm economy --> / confidence in me

In the context we have, this would add to the chain:

Negative news -> harm economy because of damaging people's confidence --> / confidence in me--> affect spending

So, the flaw is that the argument fails to consider that the media critics are right, which D proves as it connects confidence in me with negative news through chaining.

As in the chain we are making. 

Really hate how a majority of the questions we've done don't connect smoothly.
