Hey!
I am having a strange problem on logical reasoning – I consistently predict the correct answer (I identify the precise gap for a SA for example), but then somehow choose the wrong answer choice. This keeps happening despite my attempts to be more careful. I’m curious if anyone else has had this problem, and if so how they were able to get past it?
Thanks!!
@ thanks so much!
Does anyone know where to find a list/have a list of logic games with substitution/equivalence questions? Thanks a ton!
@ Thanks for these tips! I'll try them out as I practice. I will say that I just mentioned that I'm familiar with conditional logic because I know a lot of advice tends to be "make sure you have a strong foundation in conditional logic" and was looking for tips like yours that went beyond that!
Hey everyone!
Has anyone had success speeding up their time on inference questions (MSS/MBT) questions? While I don't miss too many of them, I notice that they tend to be time sinks for me, especially the harder ones (I do have a strong grasp of conditional logic).
I'm specifically drilling these types now, which I'm sure will help, but was curious if anyone else had insights on getting through these in a more efficient manner.
Hey everyone,
Can anyone explain the difference between the main point of a passage and a passage's purpose?
I understand that the passage's purpose answers the question "Why is the author writing this?" but to me, the answer to that question seems to be the main point.
For example, if a passage is about how new scientific research techniques have allowed us to definitively conclude that climate change is real, the answer to "why is the author writing this?" would be "to tell me how new scientific research techniques have allowed us to conclude that climate change is real." That would imply that main point and purpose are more or less the same, so I feel like I'm thinking about this wrong.
Thanks!!
Hi everyone,
I'm about to go through the LR Drill packs, but before I do, I have a question about how to use them most effectively.
If I'm drilling only Flaw questions, for instance, should I drill them under timed conditions? In other words, should I pick out 25 and try to do those in 35 minutes? Or should I just not worry about time at all.
I'm at the stage where I have difficulty with certain question types, but I'm definitely beyond that "initial learning" stage.
Thanks so much for you help :)
Thanks for the replies. @ I have made the mistake of having the "buzzword" in the sufficient instead of necessary place of the answer or visa versa. And @ I think your point about being too accepting is exactly what's happening. When I look through the answer choices with the prediction in my head, if I don't immediately recognize my prediction, I very quickly second guess it and choose the wrong answer choice when my prediction was correct all along. Being less accepting just might help in this case
