as others mentioned, i'd love to see my lawhub PT data with the 7sage analytics! i've taken like 10 PTs on lawhub before i got signed up on 7sage, and i've taken the time to go through the PTs on here and just input my answers but i'd rather spend time studying than doing that. plus i like using lawhub for the sole purpose of keeping the interface/software the same (as we say in the army, "train as you fight") so as much as i love the 7sage interface, i'd rather take my PTs on lawhub but, again, i want the analytics that 7sage provides

y'all i feel dumb :(((( i've been doing so well during this WHOLE LR curriculum literally from the beginning but i have gotten basically all of these questions wrong. does anyone have any advice?????

same

i agree with you completely. the only reason i didn't choose B is because (as i see it) it presents a backward conditional? like i read the stimulus as more comfort --> more profit. B says more profit --> more comfort. i'm angry lol

can someone explain this to me??? I feel like an idiot lol I was between D and E but chose E because I thought "what does smoking have to do with anything" and was just trying to stay within the time goal. after watching the video, I now understand E (kind of) but now I somehow feel like D DOES help resolve the discrepancy??? like if half the people took BC supplements and half took placebo, then yeah....of course the group as a whole did not yield any positive/negative effects because half of them weren't even taking anything??? so my thinking is "sh*tty experiment design is a resolution for the discrepancy". am I being dense?? someone plz help lol I've read through the comments and the explanations of D being correct have not helped my understanding

I think what helps me on these questions is filtering out unnecessary information, kind of like what JY talks about in the "kicking it up the domain" module. I for sure am reading these stimuli MORE than I do on main conclusion questions, but I'm still skimming to an extent. I think a common theme in LR questions, as mentioned throughout the course so far, is the extensive use of modifiers and confusing grammar. Try your best to understand the core of what's being stated in the stimulus, and filter out any modifiers or extra information that isn't central to the argument. You want to do this step quickly, because you will have to reference the stimulus again as you go through the answer choices to try to match up the information to find that "MOST strongly supported" answer. So don't worry too much about understanding every little detail in the stimulus before trying to find your answer, especially on the really dense ones.

I personally read the stimulus, use my internal dialogue to explain what's being said in very basic terms, then move on to the answer choices to go hunting for the right answer. As soon as I see an option that either contradicts what I've read or is way too strong in the language (words like "must" "only" "should" etc.) I take them out of the running. Usually I'm left with 2-3 choices, and from there I look back and forth between the choices and the stimulus to find any language or ideas that match up super well. This isn't a perfect process, and I still get 1 or 2 wrong every now and again, but my speed and accuracy are pretty good doing it this way. I hope this helps :) keep practicing and believe in yourself!!!

i had the same question/confusion in basically all my practice tests up until now -- demonstrated by the fact that I answered D. on the previous dinosaur question, which included context AND (what i thought to be) the conclusion. i think it's safe to say that the correct answer on these questions will contain only a restating/paraphrasing of the conclusion, and nothing else. that certainly seems to be true from these 7sage lessons on this type of question, but also seems to be true from my own review of ~5 practice tests where i got this question type wrong. i think maybe we have a tendency to want to include the conclusion AND some support in our answer choice (because that's probably what we would do in real life maybe?) but really the correct answer choice JUST wants the conclusion. hopefully i'm right on this, and hopefully that helps! best of luck on your journey :)<3
