You answered my above question. So it depends on the conclusion in these question types. Thank you!
I went away from B because it was going beyond the argument. Does anyone know if we can go out of scope for weaken questions?? This question was all about what would happen if a track was built NOT what happened somewhere else where it wasn't.

Thank you!
This is a good way to look at it. I am going to try it!
After getting this question wrong and reading through the comments for clarity, I am choosing to weaken the conclusion on any flaw question that I cannot figure out. Like other comments below, I was looking for the necessary/sufficient wording in the answer choice. But someone also pointed out that this is from an older test and I think that its possible that this particular flaw type of question would have the words, correlation and causation in the answer choice like the newer tests. This question was good to see and practice though in case its presented this way on test day.
Yes, weaken except, could strengthen the conclusion or even keep it just as it is and does nothing to it. We just have to make sure that it doesnt weaken it.
I am learning that if the author is telling you what you “should” do, or what “needs” to be done, then that is the conclusion. It’s somewhat , “pushier” lol language. At the end of the day, If someone has said to do (fill in the blank) that is their conclusion. In this case, we need to find the flaw so we just need to figure out which answer choice goes against that.
Oh I am also looking at why I chose B instead of A.
If they use the formula of how many people felt or feel a certain way or beleive a certain way, then look out for what the author thinks probably in the very next sentence. So in this case...they are wrong is the conclusion. Then you would re read what those people thought and negate it. Look for that as an A.C. That in this case was A.C,....A.
I have learned that words like "should", is the author telling us their opinion. That will probably be the main point every time. The A.C. is paraphrased. C.
I think with causal flaws check for causal language in the answer choice.
Can you share the PT’s and Q numbers please? Maybe that can help others see exactly how to answer. Thank you.
What is Link Assumption?
I have been enjoying the all about assumptions class taught by Julia. You should be able to do a search for her and that class ( I think that she teaches it often) under live classes.
She goes back and forth between Necessary Assumptions and Sufficient Assumptions. Although I am not sure if I am answering your question exactly but her class helps.
what do you mean? You can contrapose conditionals.
I have read and heard on different podcasts that taking on average 1 test a week is ample because if you are getting the most out of the review of that test afterwards it could take a day. I do think that drilling sections maybe 2 sections a day with thorough review is excellent. Then you'll have to do 1 timed test a week. What do you think about that, @izhanchaudhary270.chaudhary?
Oh and please consider taking 1 full day off. Its good for your brain and there may be support that shows that you can retain more of what you learned with a day off.
Also, can you share any tips of doing really well on RC? I would appreciate that.
Perhaps 7sage can share this with the student body. Some may want to consider a tutor so that they can get their back to back questions answered. Tutoring is expensive though so maybe watching other classes will help (prerecorded on top of doing the curriculum/attending beginner classes)
Also, the teacher could also perhaps ask all students at the beginning of class to limit themselves to maybe 1 question so that each student can possibly get a question answered.
I think it also works well for any of us to check out the archived classes. I love those because I choose the speed of the class.
Good topic that hopefully will help all.
Do you believe that you will run out of practice tests if you use the newer ones? Your goal is October or January, so I am wondering if you review each test in a great way, that would probably take an entire day off and on. Then, perhaps the next days, you would be at drilling question types according to your weaker questions. Then drill entire LR sections. First untimed then timed to stretch yourself.
For RC, I had to work on MP questions. When i understand the main point then I can get other questions correct more often. Then I am drilling 1 passage at a time without the timer.
I have heard, read and believe that finishing the test is only great when your accuracy is at 100%. So I practicing now doing the first 15 questions in LR making sure I get them all correct, Then moving on to the rest unrushed. Depending on how many you are missing in LR, that may be the key.
Focus on accuracy over speed. When the timer flashes 5 min left, just fill out all your answers and hope to answer 1 or 2 by reading the whole stimulus if there is time.
I plan to do 1 RC passage a night as a drill to see how the writers think and ask questions then I should be able to absorb what they are asking for. How is your RC strategy?
You sound very dedicated and disciplined. Prayerfully, you will do quite well while revamping your study methods. I don't think that you will burn out of questions. The test is in about 8 weeks.
Are you scoring near your goal score? How many practice tests are you doing a week? I think 1 or 2 is enough with thorough review 1 question at a time. Then seeing where your weak points are and then drilling those question types. Then drill by section. Keep RC in the mix as well.
I think that A.C. A is mainly inferred whereas AC B is straight from the logic so it must be true.
I know that this comment is old, but I got this question right directly after getting another one wrong. To me, they mirrored each other because they were both MBT fill in the blank, and both used conditional language.
So, when I see a fill in the blank MBT that has conditional language in the stimulus, I will go on a hunt in the answer choices (making sure I read them all of course) and will land on the one that also uses conditional language.
That particular test Q was:
PT 26, Sec. 3 Q.7
Well I do not think that A can be correct at all because it says the the Psychologists POV is incorrect. I think that their view can be correct sometimes and other times it is incorrect. E. is the correct answer because it uses conditional language. That makes it knows that sometimes A is correct and others is may not be. For this MBT, it has to go along with the stimulus. This also can be a MSS it seems.
I think that we make sure to simply accept the premises and if you debate anything it can be the conclusion *starts at however, no one disagrees...). I got this one right not understand the argument fully but the conditional language in the stimulus led me to choose the A.C. that had conditional language in It. If there were 2 A.C.'s that had conditional language, I would say that I would have to re read the stimulus or the conclusion for better reference. This happened on one other question like this and I missed it because I did not choose the .A.C. with conditional language. So I went for it this time and it was correct. Not sure how many of these will be on test day but its good to get 1 correct at a time on this exam.
Can you also call LSAC and tell them the dilemma in case prometric either cannot fix it in time or get back to you in time? Wondering if they can offer good advice.
I do wish that there was a 1 question at a time possibility for drilling. If you do all MBT questions for example, and you answer them all with the same mindset you could be in trouble if that mindset was incorrect. If we drilled 1 question at a time, it could help us to KNOW that we are thinking of it correctly. Then I would move to drilling 5-10 questions in that same category then full sections with a mix of all the questions.
I read take for granted to say something like:
You think that I am supposed to already know that…
I found an answer below if anyone had the same problem. Thank you @varishamasroor
