WE DID IT FAM

#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.

#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 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?

Love to hear this!

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

Two things have helped me: practicing untimed a LOT, and reading things in everyday life I normally wouldn't care about (economics and history... total yucks for me). I've increased my speed with non-anxiety inducing practice and an increased confidence that no passage can stump me.

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

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.

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

I took it to mean "fully qualified" includes productivity as one of those met qualifications.

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.

helpful and totally agree on the difficulty level!
