@MaxThompson This analogy was very helpful, thank you!

Absolutely killing it (on BR lol)

I started this section off so poorly but I've really come around to understanding these questions! I intentionally spent more time in the video lessons and I feel much more confident now even if I still have to work on my timing/accuracy. The videos and written explanations are great!

Got it right in blind review and one of my first instincts in defining it's flaw was to say "the argument fails to consider that Mr. Tannisch could have stolen the diamonds." which helped me select the correct question. I don't think I'll be employing this strategy moving forward but I was happy to be thinking in terms of lawgic.

@B_Freeze2631 I needed to hear this, thank you for the feedback, advice and words of encouragement! Apologies to anyone if my initial post read too negatively, it was written in a fit of mild frustration, but let's all get into a positive mindset about this exam!

A tip that helped me eliminate A right away is that it doesn't even specifically state that the new technology would be more inexpensive, or efficient. Thus, I reasoned that assuming a new technology was developed, it could just be that this new technology, say, developed a less foul scent for nitrate or Acetate. The new technology might still be expensive, time consuming, etc., making it not necessary at all.

Drawing out the connections between the premises really helped me out on this one!

@Kevin_Lin I had the same issue and your response was helpful, thank you!

@MelanieGonzalez I draw conclusions as I read, and then he presents a brand new part of the question. It is so frustrating!

One of my biggest concerns with this and other sections is over-confidence and under-preparation. Based on the lessons learned over the course of the foundations learning block, as well as the lessons in this section, I have been able to intuitively understand the questions and do relatively well. However, I do not map anything out on paper, instead opting to work out the answers in my head. This has worked for now as the questions presented are designed to gradually increase in difficulty, but I am worried that my lack of mapping will be a disadvantage on the actual test. Reading this review lesson and watching the instructor map out each question makes me question whether my way is the most efficient. This style is just not intuitive, but I wonder if it is worth adopting it even if it means delaying my progress. For the time being, I am grasping these questions well, and I also understand quickly when and why I answer a question incorrectly. This, at the very least, brings me some sort of comfort. I am not sure what I want to communicate with this post, I suppose I am thinking out loud. Please let me know if anyone shares these concerns!

I guessed what the element of most would look like before it revealed and yelled in excitement when I was proven right.

I do not find these methods very intuitive at all. It seems like with every added lesson, the concept becomes more and more confusing and I lose confidence in my own ability to draw valid conclusions.
