In the explanation for this question, J.Y mentions that there are several other flaw questions where the flaw is that they say that a correlation between A and B, and a correlation between A and C, means that B and C are correlated. The example he uses that's much clearer than what they're using in this question is that there's a correlation between being a motorist and wearing a seatbelt, and there's a correlation between being a motorist and sustaining an injury in a motor vehicle accident, but that does not mean that there is a correlation between wearing a seatbelt and sustaining an injusry in a motor vehicle accident.

Anyway, he said that there are other questions like this one, but never said which ones they are. Does anyone know of others or any ideas on how I'd find more like this? Thanks!

🙃 Confused

Inconsistency a Couple weeks out

I’ve been studying for the last year or so. My diagnostic was 164. A week ago, I logged a 171 and was psyched. But I took another practice test this week and got a 163. I tend to find in my practice sections that I have two modes: either I get a -0 to -3 OR I go like -5. Has anyone encountered this sort of swinging inconsistency? It’s frustrating and I’m not sure how to fix it more consistently. The annoying thing is that in the last two PTs I mentioned above (171 & 163), both of my scores were 178 & 179 respectively. I’m scratching my head and supposed to take the real thing next week. Any advice or encouraging stories would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

@bichimichi I thought so too and it annoyed me a lot, but actually it will recommend you blind review any that you take a very long time on, or change your answer to multiple times, or answer so quickly that it seems like a guess. To tell why they're recommending you blind review, you should hover your mouse over the little information (i) symbol next to "blind review" and it will tell you why it is recommending that you review it. Hope this helps.

why is the negation for question four not: some large animals can move more rapidly than small animals. That feels like it follows from "it's not the case that small animals can move more rapidly than large animals".
