I didn't choose D just because of the phrase "rational people" I thought this was an odd piece of extra information. Can someone explain how this phrase is a fine inference to make?
is there supposed to be an explanation for this question? because i dont see anything
@clearyhalleye307 idk if this is truly a reliable way, but I have been looking strictly for keywords. Like for this, I looked for an answer that contained "most" in the conclusion and "more" in the premise. Then that left me with A and E, and that's when I deep dived A and E. Try not to get distracted by the subject of what's being talked about in the stimulus- look for the pattern/shape/structure. Practice will get you better!
@smallbrowngirl28 the jackson argument is meant to be one of the ACs in a parallel reasoning question. The peter argument right above it is the Stimulus, and the Jackson argument is a hypothetical answer choice. I think either wording works because you are evaluating the argument and the argument is also an answer choice.
I am also having trouble with this. I think its important to remember that even though your accuracy is really good untimed- when you begin to cut time, your score will naturally decrease. But its normal!! You're just learning to think faster so its normal for your score to dip when you start timing yourself.
I don't know if this would help you but, untimed, I would take about 70 minutes to finish an RC section. So since last week I've been cutting 5 minutes of my time everyday but I only cut off 5 minutes if I'm scoring what I want- like right now I'm at 55 minutes but my score completelyyy dipped at 55 minutes, so I wont be cutting off 5 more minutes until I can get my goal score at 55 minutes. This is just what I'm doing but I know everyone has their own techniques- hopefully it gives you some inspo on things you can do to improve your timing.
Also, I have been told to only focus on timing when you are consistently reaching your goal untimed. One last thing to remember, its normal to have your score decrease when you are cutting off time, so don't get too unmotivated! its completely normal for this process!
