I got tripped up thinking that premise 1: "The laborious part of writing is in the thinking and the editing, not in the typing" was actually another conclusion because this statement may be an opinion to some? Maybe I'm reading too hard into this. When they refer to an "argument" what exactly do they mean?
E in my opinion was just too weak. The stimulus in the question was really tough and I don't think I fully grasped what argument the doctor was trying to make. I simply pulled out his conclusion: "this suggests that if night-lights cause nearsightedness, the effect disappears with age," and tried to undermine some part of it. I chose A because it initially looked like it undermined that nightlights even cause nearsightedness but now with J.Y.'s explanation I understand it didn't even say that.
Tough question when you see that both the stimulus and the answer choices had tough wording.

Am I the only one who thought the Mali one was better than the Frederick Douglass RC?
Yes, yes you are. I don't remember any of the details in any of the Mali, Paternalism, Story or Evolution passages, do you? I can't find anyone else who does either
I remember the content for Mali, Paternalism, Evolution but not Story. What do you want to know? I think honestly it was because I had Mali first I was more fresh and therefore Frederick Douglass felt harder after.
Ah, true that makes. I had it as my 1st RC too, but I think I was fresher for the 2nd RC after the break. Any details really. I remember the Mali passage about the terra cotta artifacts in an old PT, but can't remember anything about the one from this test. Everyone on reddit mentions it and Paternalism but just that they found it difficult. I just want to remember something about them to see if I can recall. I'm hoping the talk about it on the Powerscore Podcast which I think comes out tonight
Not sure if I can discuss this so mods feel free to remove this but Mali was about democracy vs. colonialism with a interesting ancient analogy and paternalism was about big brother gov't and why it's not always bad.

I thought the Mali and the Frederick Douglass sections were similar in difficulty. That said, I really hoped Mali would be experimental because my dumb ass panicked and changed a right answer to a wrong one with like 5 seconds left on the clock because I got way too in my head about things. Whoops. A bit pissed off I cost myself the point, but ultimately felt confident about the RC section. Short stories had a couple hard questions, but ultimately I found it to be pretty moderate.
LR felt easy to me too, with the exception of one question that I kept changing my AC on. First three LGs were super easy and I got to the duet game with 13 minutes left on the clock and still had to guess on some questions.
Still, feeling pretty good about things. Probably got around a 170, although I'm holding out hope my guesses on the last LG were good ones and I got a 173 or higher!
What do you usually PT? Seems like we had a similar test day experience so I'm trying to gauge what we got.
This test could honestly be an insane score if I somehow guessed right on those two LG questions but most likely won't be the case. Did you also happen to narrow those hard last duet game questions to like 2 answers each then guess?

168 is not bad but you will absolutely need a GPA that is above median if you would like to get into those schools.
The issue I had with fifteen is yes, the author's last sentences very confident and shows the author's position, the last sentence in the first paragraph also says "assignment of such rights (property rights) has been difficult to achieve." Maybe past results do not confer to what the author will think will happen but it showed that there is some difficultly. Any thoughts? I am not sure how to reconcile this.
