Is it generally strategic to skip parallel reasoning questions and return once I finish the section since these questions generally take longer?
Question: what does "setup" refer to when I look at the time allocation distribution on questions? does that refer to how long i should read the passage for? i.e. if it says "setup 1:55", does that mean I should eventually aim to read the passage in 1:55 minutes?
I think something cool for study breaks would be quotes from the feedback of various students rather than just one. Assuming you have some database of feedback from students related to RC, compiling those inspiring or positive quotes and making a study break out of it would be nice to read!
The quick view function allows you to copy and paste questions, which opens up a lot of possibilities. You could, for example, open the quick view of a question and use copy/paste to load them into your notes app or wrong answer journal. It's been a lifesaver for me when I BR the You Trys.
I'm the type of person who really understands what I am reading by actively annotating and writing in the margins. However I'm unsure how I can "write in the margins" with the online format. Any suggestions?
Hi Kevin! Loved your youtube videos. Looking forward to learning from you through 7Sage!
#feedback quick view for drill questions please!
lol what are you smoking
for those who might be curious about what the formal name is for this flaw, it's called "affirming the consequent".
In case you guys didn't hear: the name of the game is speed.
this might be a silly question but is there like a formal process JY uses to circle words in the stim? i want to know why he chooses to circle those particular words.
I just talked to a Big Tobacco lawyer and they said it was E 🤷♂️

This question is tagged as MSS, but the explanation video identifies and approaches it like an MC question. Is this an MSS question or is it mistagged as one?
The way that I thought about the opera example in my own terms:
Most NBA players can dunk a basketball, and most people who are not NBA players cannot. Therefore, it seems likely that since I can dunk, I play in the NBA.
1- There are very few NBA players in the world. Just because I can dunk doesn't offset the very low statistical probability that I am an NBA player.
2- There are plenty of other people who can dunk but are not in the NBA (e.g. college basketball players or retired NBA players).
Is it possible to read the opera singer example as a case of affirming the necessary condition? My work is below.
In Lawgic:
CTOS = Classically Trained Opera Singers
RMW= recite Musetta's Waltz
a=Anna
(1) CTOS ‑m→RMW
(2) /CTOS ‑m→/RMW
(3) aRMW
---
(4) aCTOS
The way I read it, the conclusion (4) is drawn from using (3) to affirm the necessary condition of (1). That's a fallacy.
The valid conclusion would be a/CTOS, which uses (3) to deny the necessary condition of (2).
Let me know if this is correct?
Confused on 11. The lesson on "few" explains how we should be translating "few" into two statements: one with "←s→" and one with "‑m→." The answer only includes "‑m→". Why is there no translation into "←s→"?
I think the lesson writers implied a step in their explanation that wasn't too clear.
If you read the sentence, SAS is actually negated before applying the Group 3 rules. So instead, in this instance, SAS is /SAS. The lesson writers skipped over explaining that detail. AAF remains the same.
Applying the Group 3 rules (picking one, negating, and setting it as the sufficient condition) yields two possibilities:
1) //SAS → AAF.
-- Reduces to SAS --> AAF, since "//" cancels out.
-- Translates to "If Senator Amidala delivers her speech, then the attempt to assassinate her fails."
2) /AAF → /SAS.
-- Translates to "If the attempt to assassinate her does not fail, then Senator Amidala does not deliver her speech"
You might have hedged the second option, which negated both ideas. The lesson writers went with the first one.
Hope this helps.
Struck out D because I thought that the hospital staff would still get exposed to the bacteria when transferring the laundry from the washer to the dryer. Tell me I'm wrong!
