#24 J.Y. is like, “babe idk either”

Expected time: 1:32. Elapsed time 1:32. 😎

This Q ssssucked 🐍

I got this one wrong but something just clicked for me because of it. If we take the answer choice and say "what if that WASN'T true." Would the conclusion break? If the negation of the answer breaks the conclusion, that's your best answer.

59 seconds!!?

I really appreciate JY talking timing strategy on questions like this.

#feedback Are there any plans to add a "Structure of Passage" question type to these lessons? I can't seem to crack them, I'm usually narrowing it down to two and selecting the wrong answer. I would love to hear your approach to these questions.

I took "no known natural cause" to include volcanic activity as a natural cause and was reluctant to choose (B) for that reason. I think I was looking for it to say "no other natural cause" but it was subtly more specific than that by referencing meteorites.

I was hesitant to choose (e) because I didn't want to assume cravings meant intake :(

This one tripped me up because the farmer states in the stimulus that he always dries on a screen in a room. (A) makes sense, especially if the region is always cloudy, but the answer states that the region will be cloudy just for just a season.

I was thinking that (b) might actually help to evaluate the argument - for staunch capitalists or anti-capitalists, they would consider how much the industry was profiting from their sales as a pro or a con, thereby affecting the stated argument in the same way (d) does (what current users think). Maybe this way of thinking is leaping too far, because we don't know if the consumers will be made aware of the amount of profit, we just know the companies expect to make one.

Why did I breeze through this question at level 3 difficulty and could barely clunk my way through the last one at level 1!

Timing is my main enemy with these. I usually arrive at the correct answer but it takes me a LONG time to understand what the stimulus is actually saying, and when I do try to move quickly, I'm often missing important details. My timing for this one was 3:39. #help

currently reading The Awakening by Kate Chopin, so weird

#feedback Just a heads up that the "Next" link from the previous You Try question is broken! I was able to get here via the syllabus.

I was having trouble seeing how in #7 part of the answer couldn't be, "The time required to complete a task is the same or longer for experienced workers than it is for inexperienced workers."

I think I am starting to get it now - part of the original claim of "The time required to complete a task is no longer for experienced workers than it is for inexperienced workers" includes "the same", so if we are negating the original claim, we should not be including any parts of that that could be true. Do I have that right?

This was very inspiring.

I am struggling pretty exclusively with Implied, Purpose of Passage, and Author's Attitude questions. What can I do to quickly infer these things? I know for most of these we are asking "why" the author wrote the passage or something specific within, but my low-res summaries are too low-res to include this information. Going back to the passage to confirm has been too much of a time drain. Anyone have any ideas or perspectives for these kinds of Q's?

The drilling mud passage was the end of me

I've been thinking about these questions all wrong! It's clicking more after this lesson

This new curriculum came out just as I was wrapping up LR and heading into RC. thank you!!!
