I am wondering if anyone would have any advice for choosing the right answer for these questions. This used to be a question type that went well for me but lately it seems like I keep getting them wrong. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how did go about answering these question types correctly again? Any general strategies for this question type would be really helpful. Thank you!

Sufficient Assumption Questions

Any advice for breaking down SA questions into valid argument forms like JY does in the videos? The more questions I see, the more challenging it is to find an AC that matches my diagram. Is there another way to approach SA questions? Sometimes it seems like the AC for these questions is just a restatement of the conclusion and/or my prephrases don't match the answer choices very well. Does anyone think of these questions like strengthen questions? Any suggestions would be great! Thank you!

If anyone would have any suggestions for my explanation for key take aways from this question, that would be great! Thanks!:

I definitely fell for the trap answer in figuring out this question. Answer choice A was tricky because it talks about lactose which is what is first addressed in the stimulus. However, lactose only "helps" in the absorption. It is not necessary or required. It is the calcium which is necessary, bringing in our knowledge of conditional logic. C is correct because it strengthens our conditional statement: "if bone repair, then absorption of calcium."

Does anyone have any good strategies for approaching flaw questions with more descriptive answer choices?

For the people getting -0 in LG

For those getting -0 in LG, would you have any advice for strategies during timed conditions? How did you finally make it to -0 in the whole section? Do you get -0 during timed conditions as well? If so, what do you think it was that finally got you there? When studying, I do a lot of drilling and fool proofing, but I still feel like there are so many points left on the table. Thank you!

I don't think we are able to put this into a flaw category, right?

Is there another angle or approach I could take to solving more difficult flaw questions like this?

Thanks!

Flaw Questions

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help clarify something for me. When you see this particular question stem, "reasoning is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it presumes," do you think of trying to find an assumption or just to identify the flaw. Any suggestions for eliminating answer choices for these flaw questions that are more subtle?

Thank you!

Thank you so much for this @! Do you feel like conditional language shows up a lot in NA questions on newer tests? What is your strategy for quickly negating conditional answers under timed conditions?

Weaken Questions

Would anyone have any advice for selecting the correct answer choices for weaken questions? It seems that I still get stuck between two or three answers, especially the non-causation ones. How have you mastered this question type? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
