Agreed! I went searching to see if there was a way to integrate drills into my analytics because I feel it gives me the most "concrete" grouping of question types I need to work on. I would like to add it to my analytics in order to gauge what I need to focus on and see trends in the types of questions I consistently get wrong.

I agree that being able to toggle it on and off would be fantastic, since the only way to fairly measure time spent on a question and improve timing strategy is probably by using questions from full practice tests.

What ruled E out for me is that the stimulus states someone should earn the award when A) they're eligible, and B) they do something beyond expectation if that act saved someone's life.

That act. Which says to me they must be related. It is not enough to go beyond expectation in a year and also separately save someone's life that year. Your actions must be beyond expectation WHEN you save someone's life.

Answer E is attractive because, at first glance, it seems that Officer Franklin did everything right while Penn did not, despite them both being eligible.

However, we see that Franklin "has saved lives" and "has exceeded expectations". Did he exceed those expectations in the process of saving a life, though? We don't know. Whether or not he meets the conditions to earn the award is not explicitly stated.

Answer A is the strongest because it completely rules officer Penn out from even receiving the award (he is not eligible).

Option A: Penn is not eligible, Franklin is both eligible and earned the award.

Option E: Both are eligible, we know Penn did not earn the award, but we also don't know if Franklin did.

True, but the hypothesis doesn't predict zero fluctuation in anxiety or depression. It's only concerned with increasing it. The end of the stimulus states "This suggests that the first-year students with high levels of spending on recreation could reduce that spending without increasing their anxiety or depression."

Answer choice B indicates that their levels of anxiety and depression might fluctuate- but only going lower, not increasing. It strengthens the argument because it provides another group of students who have in effect lowered their spending without increasing their anxiety or depression, exactly as the hypothesis predicts.

The stimulus begins by saying "Storytelling appears to be a universal aspect of both past and present cultures." Universal means "all," so my understanding was that all known cultures were participating in the general phenomenon of storytelling. Of those that did (all), many similar themes arose in the content of the stories.

Therefore, (C) "Certain human concerns and interests arise in all of the world’s cultures" would be the most supported, because all cultures participate in storytelling and that storytelling contains many similarities (across all cultures).

At least, that's how I understood it and why I picked C.
