lifesaver! thank you so much!!! :)

@.i.rivas yes! i've found that for me, i like reading the stims before the stems. and it didn't take too long - i probably did a handful of lr sections before feeling comfortable

@ honestly just reading the stimuli first, then doing CLIR and prephrasing. That allowed me to go into the ACs feeling equipped and ready to know what to look for

This question is tricky because the original statements in the stimulus appear to be logical opposites, or negations, but they are not. For example, the negation of generous is not "selfish"; rather, it is "not generous." It is critical to realize that these statements are NOT contrapositives of one another before proceeding to the ACs. Keep this distinction between linguistic opposites and actual logical opposites in mind when reviewing the ACs.

maybe try doing drills with the hardest questions only. and maybe review the loophole again! practice the drills in the loophole until the basic translation and "CLIR" process becomes second nature. I was in your position about a month ago and am now at about -2/-3 for LR. you've got this!

I found it helpful to consider the missing link between the first and second sentences. In the first sentence, the historian discusses how this scientific theory will lead to moral decline. And then, all of a sudden, in the second sentence they switch gears to discussing the implications of what happens when people do not feel responsible for their actions. The sufficient assumption that will allow for the argument to be valid bridges the gap between the theory and responsibility for actions.

@ whattt? that's so weird - at least you were able to see your score...

I would spend a week Foolproofing the LGs using Pacifico's method (https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737/logic-games-attack-strategy/p1). I have been doing that for the past week and have found it SO helpful. I think spending a week doing that would pay dividends for the August test.

also interested!

@ no, nothing more you need to do. and dates/times are not avail yet. and each section is scored the same, so each section counts for 33% of the score

@ i think the no fee to change the date - the coupon, i believe - applies only for people who signed up before the august flex announcement was made

if one were to split up "not suitable for growing in a tub or pot" into two variables (t) and (p), would it be (/t and /p) -> /m because of the "not... or"? thank you!! #help

another helpful reason for why b is wrong is bc the disagreement is not on the degree of utility that the modern plays offer. we dont know if L or C would say that the modernized plays are more or less useful. just that L says that they are still valuable and C that they are not useful. the disagreement is not about the degree to which they are useful or not, but about the binary of their utility (yes/no).

e really got me on this one - but it is not right because the stimulus already accounts for the possibility that it is the nature of the movies and not the reviews themselves that makes one more apt to realize whether or not they will enjoy a movie
