I eliminated A because I thought that the politician addressed the argument advanced by the opponents. I.E. There is excessive public expenditure on social programs; therefore, we should reduce social spending.

Can someone explain why that's not addressing the opponents' argument? #help

Yes and no. No because I am used to practicing right below the set of rules and the first question, all being on the same page. Yes because I can just start practicing with separate scratch paper, and familiarize myself with how it's going to be when I take the test digitally.

I definitely agree. My first digital PT didn't go well because I couldn't focus like I could on paper. But then I started solving questions or even full sections on the tablet. When I got used to it, I started scoring like 5-8 points higher, which is kind of crazy. I'm taking the July exam, so I've been alternating each practice test between paper and digital.

This brings me to my question and concern: If I don't get a satisfying score because I got the paper form in July, would I be able to register for the September test? I though they would let us scratch out the score and take a free test, but they won't release the score until August 28th, and the deadline for the September 21st test is like in the beginning of August. Any info on this?

One strategy is to do an extra logic games section so that you can foolproof at the same time as PTing. It is important to do five section tests at least a couple times, but I typically stick with four section tests for practice. If you feel like stamina is an issue for you, then you might want to do some five sections. Yes, you do get the PT in digital version if you buy it as an add on

That's a great idea! Thanks!

Question about Digital Practice Tests

Hey guys,

How should I practice doing 5 sections on the digital practice tests, especially if I'm running out of pt's (since I only have the Starter Pack)?

Should I just do the extra section from a different PT on paper and go back to digital?

Also, if I purchase a PT as an add-on (the ones that cost 29.97 dollars each), I get to do it on digital too, right?

Thanks for your #help !

Where did you find the resources for Comparative RC? I would love to hit those.

Sure I’ll give it a shot.

The conclusion is that when a business performs a notably ethical action, the news should publicize it to help them patronize the business. The support offered is that media should help businesses that meet “high ethical standards”. Ask yourself, where is the potential hole in this argument. For me, the first thing that stands out is use of similar but clearly different terms. “Meeting high ethical standard” and “notably ethical action”. AC B says that meeting high ethical standards is primarily a matter of “refraining from unethical behavior” which is not the same as a “single notably ethical action.”

I think I was trying too hard to look at this from a formal-logical perspective. So if I understand this correctly, because meeting high ethical standards is mostly refraining from unethical behavior, does it mean that the news media wouldn't really be able to motivate people enough to patronize that business, because it's most likely not going to be a "notably ethical action"?

PT87.S2.Q26 - People should patronize businesses

Hey, if anyone has taken this PT yet, can someone explain why the right answer is the right one?

I was able to eliminate the 4 wrong AC's during my BR but I still can't come up with why the right AC is correct.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks!

Discouraged by Recent PT

Hey guys,

In the last two months I've been getting really good results on my practice tests. I've been getting anywhere from 169 to 174, but those were PT35-50s.

On Wdnesday I took PT 84 and got a 166 and then I got a 165 today on PT 87, which was administered last month.

Are the recent tests really this much harder? I'm trying to calm myself because I was really confident to take the July exam, and now I'm back to square one (I got a 164 last year and resumed studying May of this year).

I'm extremely disappointed because I had thought the 7Sage CC has really helped me understand the essence of arguments and how to approach the exam in general. I really wanted a higher score so that I can lessen the burden that my wife has to carry as the sole provider while I go to law school. I had sacrificed all of my shifts at my job as an investment to get a higher score, and I feel like all of that has been wasted.

Any advice? I thought on Wednesday I wasn't in a very good condition but today I was totally fine. Still a lower score. I'm about to lose it.

Thanks for listening though.
