Really hard time with WSE

I can get the easier WSE questions right, and the occasional 4/5 star difficulty questions right, but I have yet to get 5/5 on a hard difficulty WSE drill. I am getting frustrated. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach these questions? I feel like the method to the madness here is vague and therefore much harder to nail down.

#help - why are we just assuming that recent graduate = a certain age? what if the age was 22 and then increased to 40 because a lot more recent graduates who graduated at an older age wanted to apply to the art history phd programs? this is a weak answer in my opinion.

I literally cannot get 5/5 on strong for these question types. I am so frustrated

The whole dialogue about "discovering" heart disease being different from having heart disease didn't make any sense to me...

I chose A and not B because I felt that the word never in B was too strong. B makes sense because it directly bridges the conclusion to the earlier premise statement.

So E is right because it implies there's overlap between the join the party group and the donation group, right?

Bi-conditional question

I just got a question wrong because I was confused about bi-conditionals so I just want to clarify

If A(----) B, that does NOT mean that B(---)A, right?

The contrapositive of a bi-conditional in the form A(-----)B is /A(----)/B

Is this right?

WOOHOO I've been crushing this section. Kinda scary how things suddenly started to really click for me during this section. Hope I can keep this accuracy up in my actual PTs!

Was going to pick C with my gut but saw that it said "information" and not "research information" and thought that was weird so chose B. UGH.

I think if AC B said that rashes occurred on both sides of their face after use of other devices, then AC B would be the correct answer.... lmk if anyone has any insight on that.

this whole stimulus and argument are pretty weak, right?

I got this right but I think my reasoning for throwing out AC D may be wrong? Please lmk.

I thought AC D was wrong because it stated that no one whose enjoyment of life depends on associates and friends sharing the same beliefs... blah blah blah.

I thought AC D was wrong after reading this first portion because I realized that the logic is backwards. I didn't think Enjoyment of Life ----> having associates and friends sharing the same belief was the correct logical examination... maybe I crossed this answer off for the wrong reasons though.

This explanation is too wordy imo. D is right because when you take the contrapositive of the unless statement, it triggers the conclusion in the stimulus. right?

this is a rare example of a question where the two premises have a gap to fill, right?

I'm having trouble translating without claims back into english after using logic. For example:

"There can be no rule of law without individual freedom"

Negate sufficient: ROL ---> IF

But when I read this back to myself, how would I frame it?

"If there is rule of law, then there is individual freedom?" Is that what would work here? Please help!!!

is it safe to assume that the reason why B is wrong is because of a mistaken reversal? Like, instead of A-> B, it says B-> A?

I find that JY contradicts himself a lot. The stimulus literally says the farmer has great concern for the environment of the cows, but then he goes on to say "well who knows if they really did have concern"... what??? Aren't we taught that the stimulus means what it says? I didn't find the explanation for AC E being wrong satisfactory. The word "key" is the only thing about AC E that seems to make it wrong. I understand why B is better, but please don't resort to contradictory explanations, it makes things more confusing.

I knew E was wrong, but couldn't convince myself of any other AC. I missed the assumption about the demand for meat/milk. It is so much clearer after reading the explanation. I wonder how I can stop missing these types of questions...

Confirm action

Are you sure?
