Am I really the only one thinking there is no right answer or am I not seing something crucial?

I do believe I really understood the logic of the core curriculum, and the argument uses a lot of "WOULD" instead of "WILL" - "would attract new residents", "would probably result in overcrowded schools" - which are clearly not certainties. If you accurately trace the chain of all the conditional statements in the argument, taking into account the "WOULD"s and not implying those are "WILL"s (because they are truly not the same thing), then answer choice B cannot be correct because it uses "will". I believe changing that "will" to a "would" will make answer choice B correct.

Please feel free to comment!

Hello everyone,

Me too, I'll be taking the test for the first time in April, but from Madrid, Spain!

To give you some context, I'm originally from France, spent four years in the USA, and have been living in Spain for over three years now, working full-time, and often exceeding 55-60 hours per week. Despite the workload, I feel quite confident about the upcoming tests - I plan to take it twice, in April and June, (Yes, I do want that Logic Games section, and will miss it). Now, I'm no Einstein, Musk, or any other genius you can think of, so why the confidence, and why should you share it?

Like you, I heavily rely on, and trust, resources from 7Sage, and if you're reading this, chances are you do too. Consider the folks who will sit for the test with minimal or no preparation at all. Like me, I presume you've seen improvements from your diagnostic score, which, let's admit, is excellent. That's something to be proud of, really. As a matter of fact, as I write this, I am drinking a glass of red wine in Spanish bar, having my "tapa" and enjoying the fact that I made progress.

Also, if you're still striving for your target score, as many have mentioned here, trust the process. It's just a matter of time. Some of us might progress faster, others longer, but isn't it just what life is about? Everyone's journey is unique. Personally, I have my obstacles: English isn't my native language, which poses a significant challenge (I learned it proficiently around 23-24 years old, and now I'm 28). Nonetheless, I refuse to let it hinder me (that would be a recipe for disaster). For example, every unfamiliar word is an opportunity for me to expand my vocabulary (similarly, each incorrect answer for a LR question, for example, is a chance to learn and avoid repeating the same mistake). Starting from a diagnostic score of 150, I'm on track to hopefully achieve 170+.

Trust the process, trust yourself, and try to find enjoyment in the test-taking experience. Personally, I perform better when I'm enjoying myself.

While we'll be competing with each other, each aiming for a higher score than our neighbor, I genuinely wish you all the best. I won't wish you luck, as success isn't merely luck-based for this test, but rather a result of preparation and effort. So, here's to you being at your best, achieving your goals, and hopefully crossing paths at a top-tier school someday.

Take care,

Benjamin
