@arieatsoranges If I still struggle to understand the stimulus and which answer choice was the correct one for what reason, I will try diagramming the problem on my own and just beat the dead horse until the words barely make sense anymore. When we first started the curriculum, this is what I did with the Coffee Shoppe problem. I would write out the conditional statements backwards and forwards and chain them and do the same thing with the ACs.
I will also talk myself through it out loud like I am writing the lesson myself. It can help to take notes and diagram for sure, but in the actual test environment you're rarely going to have time to diagram, so the work of diagramming now should be done with the goal of doing it in your head eventually.
With note taking, I heard someone say one time that they started using note taking as a strategy to procrastinate. This is definitely something I do, so I had to resist note taking and just flag the hard questions and come back to them later with a fresh eye to see how I do. If you notice yourself continually making the same mistakes, whether it is making the sufficiency/necessity confusion, failing to read the whole stimulus/AC, messing up comparatives, etc., you can make note of those and drill them separately.
Great job!
