this was a super helpful explanation thank you! #feedback

hello! the argument is not touching on the overall decreasing number of books published. the argument can still work in a world where there are millions more books being published today than in the past. The argument is about the decreasing number of books of intrinsic value. That's why B is correct.

the issue that I personally had with this argument is that i didn't connect that high quality books equals books of intrinsic merit. i got this question wrong

amazing job!!! props to you my friend.

agreed, i have a hard time with long uninterrupted focus needed for RC... LR is just easier because you bounce quickly between question types and mind-frames

kevin's lessons are saving my life in RC right now, got 100% on my passages

that sometimes happens for me randomly on 7sage vids. I have the ability to change the speed and open full screen right now. If this ever happens to you, you just need to refresh your browser or clear cache and cookies. Hope this helps!

yayyyyy that's amazing!!! so inspiring too thank you for sharing

I have a huge problem with focus and i agree that it helps to pretend you're interested - like literally in your head go "hmmm, wow interesting!" it sounds silly but it helps to feign interest. And then I also like to in my head quickly summarize little chunks that are really dense. it's tough to do when you have so little time to read a passage but i think it's worth taking two or three seconds to have that internal dialogue.

still not sure if this is the best thing to do yet but it's worked for me. I read the stimulus and get a god idea of the argument structure/reasoning type, then i read the conclusion of each answer choice first as a way to eliminate wrong answers. If the conclusion in the right answer is like completely different (let's say for example, the stimulus concludes a probability but the answer choice has a definite conclusion) I'm more confident i can eliminate it. I have had pretty accurate shallow dips so far with this technique. Hope this helps!!

shallow dipped the heck out of this

this one was ruuuuufff

i am glad to hear that donkey, sir

the curve explanation is super helpful to me thank you!

i think at this stage, getting it right is what counts - this took me about 10 minutes. apparently the more you drill, the better your timing improves since you become more fluent with more practice. hope this helps

reachable conclusion: officer franklin slays

im still confused why the first premise is a causal statement and not exactly a conditional? Edit: oh no wait i get it now LLOLLL

omfgfhhahahahhahaaha oh noooooo

I also figured B was correct because the stimulus states that there is a great "advantage to home owners" specifically. and B (the profits made by the home lighting industry) would not matter to the homeowners - is this a good line of thought?

JY's "ooooooookay?" pops up in my head when i read a wrong answer its extremely helpful lol

#help i'm confused. I'm getting to a point where i dont' really understand JY's tactics for each question. like how do i know which "tactic" to use for the question types? when do i apply "assumption framework"? when do i apply the ideal experiment? am i thinking about this too black and white?

this question felt like a uhhhh two steps forward one huge step back kinda thing.

same, this question took me a lot longer because I had to go back to the stimulus and understand what they meant by "immune cells"

that's the conclusion i came to after the last one and this question. I don't think that's confusing, thank you for stating it here!

the answer and explanation for this were SO much simpler than i was making it out to be. Wow... I hate pat too
