@tuplr I'd push back on 'does a lot more than simply go against the conclusion' - the cause/no-effect pattern IS the mechanism by which it contradicts the conclusion. Common pattern, same underlying function as a provided fact functioning as a counterexample without the weight of actually being actual evidence (using the word "evidence" doesn't make it actual evidence).
This system's reply formatting is a little wonky, but in case you missed it - my initial comment was responding to someone's specific question about an alternate description of D. The goal wasn't to provide a full breakdown of the answer/rewording what's already provided in the description of the answer selection/other in comments on this board. It still isn't ;)
@tuplr That's essentially restating what I said - 'same cause, no effect' is the mechanism I described. Glad it worked out for you :)
The orange foam ear plugs work great to isolate you from your surroundings.
You already know you can hit your goal, so just practice sections untimed and review your answers. When you get to the point of being satisfied with your section score, retake an untimed PT. If that works, lean into getting faster. If not, go back to sections.
If you're getting railed by a specific question type, drill that question type until you're not.
The sections are great because of how you start priming your internal clock for the test environment. The questions of each section are arranged in an intentional way that can't be replicated in drills that focus on specific question types.
You can do it!
@FairySparklePrincess Appreciate the update - do you know the order of tests or is 159 the most recent assemblage of sections since the removal of the games?
Why A isn't correct:
The author does provide statistical evidence supporting the claims - it's the description of how the sales of cheese "nearly doubles" and the sales of ice cream declines sharply.
"So (A) doesn't describe a flaw in his argument" because he already does.
B is correct, but I initially selected A because I didn't consider general amounts specific enough to be "statistical evidence." As it turns out, "sharp decline"/"nearly doubled" both describe measurable changes = quantitative = statistical evidence = damn.
LOVE answering one of these questions incorrectly on first and second passes only to see confirmation that 80+% of people got it right.
let's goooo
People either "ate a wider variety of wild plants than did any other people at the time" OR they "discovered agriculture before anyone else."
Either way, they used plants in ways that nobody did at that time.
10k yr old farmers got freaky with some turnips, and we're having slap fights with ourselves over reading comprehension.
@LeilaniRodriguez I think the implication comes from the "Everyone in Biba's neighborhood is permitted to swim.." and that they don't define the opening/closing times.
Another answer could technically be that adults to swim until 9am the next morning, but that's just as unreasonable as splitting a group of kids based on the age of 6 at noon.
Maybe they're letting the smaller kids can splash around while they fill it up until it's too deep around noon.
The assumption that it will make sense is a rug pull. I approached this like a Most Strongest Supported and split between A/D.
I misread B - I haphazardly hoped that it had meant "..being careful to avoid something usually doesn't result in its avoidance".
I thought B was too easy and hooked onto E.
E's answer description actually interprets the stimulus incorrectly:
The stimulus does say that prices at coupon stores are higher than at non-coupon stores for the same products (even after coupons are factored in).
The actual prices of the individual products are irrelevant.
E is incorrect because the comparison between coupon stores and non-coupon stores isn't supported.
@annette15lee452 Regarding E: Stimulus doesn't say "generally".
Your support for E being incorrect is why it should be correct. The stimulus does say that prices at coupon stores are higher than at non-coupon stores.
E is not correct because the actual comparison is unsupported.
@Katty Apologies on necroposting, but most weaken isn't going to be as solid as MBF - and this answer selection doesn't answer ANYTHING.
I took this explanation from a different source: "This is a Cause, No Effect weakener to the author's causal claim." It's only right because it goes against what the author is saying and nothing is stronger.
7Sage's answer explanation for this one is currently super shallow - and saying that it's "evidence" implies it's stronger than it really is.
I was stuck with a split decision between A and E, but they discuss the unsupported stationary state of the black hole.
I eliminated C because you can't observe a black hole spinning.
Heyo - it's MSS, so it just has to be possible.
Ohhh this is legit.
You know how they tell you to network at career fairs? This is how you stand out.
What's not mentioned: You'll be able to pad out your resume with "7Sage Ambassador" and all that comes with it.
I chose E hoping that it was one of the 3 circular reasoning answers that's correct.
@MichaelWright's answer explanations are always spot-on.
"Oh yesss" for C got a chuckle from me (I totally fell for D)
Took the in-person in the morning on Friday at the same center, different machine, and it was the same as it was in August. 7Sage's layout was accurate, but I ultimately ran my last PT on LawHub the day before to prepare for any layout issues.
On test day, the page was divided vertically into quarters with the top and bottom quarters as buffer space and the middle half as the content band. Horizontally, the content spans the full width of the screen, edge to edge or with a negligible buffer. Edge to edge/negligible buffer didn't matter because it was WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE.
The vertical buffers and content band maintained their 25%/50%/25% proportions regardless of browser zoom level, font size, or line-height adjustments.
Accessibility settings: Font Size > Large (125%) / Line Height > Default
Accessibility settings + Zoomed in 125% seemed to be the best common denominator between 7Sage and LawHub's test interface that worked for me.
