2/5 on my first attempt. 5/5 on my blind review in less time. This may have been mentioned- this is what got me to a 5/5:
Most Strongly (i.e. Easily) Supported Questions Types
Does not require an assumption.
Does not improve the stimulus
Has the lowest threshold of proof.
Does not have strong language. (Always, never, all, none)
1/5 correct. Drilling in LR and RC improved by 20% after learning this. lol, I'll review this again with a fresh brain.
Got them all right, grossly over time. How long is going to take me pick up speed?
Would this be better diagrammed in the beginning as
All->Most->Many/Some-> Few ?
Some and most really threw me off when taking PT's. Understanding this language will help me quickly identity wrong answers.
Reading the question fully and chaining the conditionals made this very easy for me. I still need to practice to use De Morgan's Law because it's a gentle reminder that outcome can be and/or.
@dylancameron814 didn’t even look at the lesson and it clicked because of your comment.
Wish they would have used this example:
Student are cited as late only if they arrive more than 5 minutes past home room bell.
Cited late-> 5+
John arrived 17 minutes past the home room bell. Can we logically assume John was cited as late? No. John got a note from his mommy.
Students are cited as late if and only if they arrive more than 5 minutes past homeroom bell.
Cited as late <—> 5+
John arrived more than 17 minutes late. Can we logically assume John received a citation? YES Your Tort professor will not accept notes from your mommy, or doctor or the psychiatrist you visited after finishing this lesson.
I asked CHATGPT to explain this:
"Tom’s recipe for lasagna is easy to follow for most people."
this sentence is about people, not about other recipes.
It means:
More than half of people find Tom’s recipe easy to follow.
Now look at the second sentence:
“Tom’s recipe is harder than most other recipes.”
"Tom's recipe is easier than most other recipes."
This is a comparison among recipes, not people.
This cleared up exactly what I was struggling with on the drills. I'm really enjoying the foundation portion of the study guide.
@NatashaChander-Levy Pull out the kernels first-then it will be easier to break down. I wrote my explanation above. The kernels will be a simple sentence that is grammatically correct- even if its just two words.
This is what helped me. The kernels [subject, predicate and object] should be a grammatically correct sentence when pulled out from the complex sentence; Ex: Mary Simms declared.
Alfred Wegener developed a concept
The formation is triggered.
Except Here:
[A] study concluded. Even though A is a modifier, I still pulled it from the sentence. I didn't have to change the definite article to make the sentence correct.
This was such a goof question and explanation! Needed to be reminded when to negate a conditional statement.
