Not referring to question types—more like what trap answers are you falling for? What faulty reasoning do you keep using? I have a wrong answer journal and still find myself making the same mistakes bc I can’t fix ALL of them and idk which are most prevalent. A way to see those makes fixing them more tangible and plausible!
i mainly use the written explanations, and if i still cant understand it, i'll use the video. i prefer the written explanation because it helps me see easier where i was lacking. if that is not enough, that means i dont understand the concept, so i'll watch the video
@Elijah_Mize I understand, but how do you even recall to look for this under time pressure? I specifically made sure to look out for the author's POV when reading the text. I retained "awe-inspiring" but not something like "the real issue"...
hi! how do you handle fatigue, especially if you receive extra time? it gets harder to retain information and think due to brain fog! maybe tips when you find yourself succumbing to brain fog during the actual test and also what to do during the 10 min break!
hi yall! im curious about things to keep in mind for the writing section
-how personal should we be? are anecdotes allowed, or should we try to stay professional?
-should we use pronouns like "I" or keep it academic?
-anything else you can think of
If I am writing an essay that will hopefully get me into a T-14, what is crucial to display in the essay?
PSA questions: for these kinda of questions, is it reasonable to do process of elimination in two rounds?
round one: eliminate if it is irrelevant (ex. a) or factually incorrect (ex. b)
round two: eliminate based on who we are supporting (ex. e doesn't help the editorial's arg)
@ITTutoring It is true that sometimes I'll second guess myself, which does show that I am not 100% accurate in the choices I make (whether right or wrong). I'm going to try this on my preptest tomorrow. Thank you!
@PSERRACOSTA Thank you so much! I am going to try starting from the end and skipping long stims
i need help! i have a problem where sometimes i get so nervous or dont know what to focus on to the point where i literally cant understanding what im reading. i read but it makes no sense. it is costing me time and points. i just lose focus and it's so bad does anyone have any tips?
@victoria99 why do you feel the classes are helpful? what do u get out of it that u cant get from the explanation videos?
okay...but is it not implied that they have to be at least as intelligent as humans? like it says that twice...
I did a very quick scan and chose B. but then i went through the rest of the questions and eliminated them even though i was sure of my answer. is this a good or bad tactic? if i think i got the answer, is it worth double checking? what if i missed something?
@calliekoskovich yeah that's why i eliminated a. was not relevant to the questions asked. but i know if they worded the question stem better i wouldve easily gotten it. if you figure out why a is right given the question stem formatting lmk
@mzughaerr does anyone know how to analyze like kevin but quickly to retain the info? his breakdowns really do help me remember the info and retain key points
In RC, I'm having trouble with locating where I need to be per a question stem. Sometimes the same or a similar concept is throughout the passage, and the point we need is just hidden among words and words of text. How can I locate where I need to be faster?
how are we supposed to make our own notes on the actual test if we cant annotate? i know we get scratch paper but how are we supposed to match each paragraph break including the ones we make, etc
how to do this fast? i understood the method of reasoning but oh, searching through all the answers and rearranging them takes forever
