I can barely read the passages and questions and answer choices in time I don't get how I'm supposed to be breaking this all down so much in time

This confuses me because isnt "understand" the sufficient condition to "sophisticated listener"? by the way its stated in the passage

I have seen this barn owl question probably 5 times. Ugh. It's a throwaway at this point I just remember it.

these are soooo hit or miss for me. It either is extremely apparent or I can't see it at all. This one I got in 1 minute, the other I took 10 minutes and got wrong and BR I guessed and got it right. Does anyone have tips? :(

@zakariaJannane i finished undergrad in 2022 haha. but thanks

@DeeTee out of curiosity do you do it before watching the video at all or do you listen to him explain the stimulus first

I feel like these questions should be so easy, but I'm not doing as well on them as I thought I would be. I am reading the stimulus and identifying what each sentence's role would be, but the answer choices are so friggin awful

I got 1 right during all the lessons and 5/5 here I don't even understand what's going on

I don't remember there ever being a prescriptive/descriptive lesson. Why has this become such a huge part of things and it appeared out of nowhere?

at least i know ill probably be acing the regular Strengthen questions

@legallyhaya I think i got 1 :(

I ruled D out immediately because I thought they were trying to trick me by placing a SA AC to try to trick me to not pick the NA. What the heck I'm so mad

i am not good at these at all

I really fell for A and feel like I would choose that answer choice again still even after explanation :/

I know we haven't gone over flaws in the modules yet, but if you have background knowledge on flaws, I find that it is helpful to read these arguments thinking about what the flaw about the argument could be. What's missing? And if you use the assumption, it would make the argument valid. Idk if that makes sense or is dumb but maybe it helps someone else.

I did bladed -s--> engraving

bladed -s--> /engraving

pin tipped --> engraving

the assumption i had written down was the amount of /engraving bladed is less than bladed + pin tipped combined

#feedback when you press show question, you should allow for us to highlight the stimulus so that we can pretend its a practice question. its impossible for me to try to find an answer if i cant mark up the stimulus. i want to be able to try to guess the answer before i view the lesson

My brain is getting better at recognizing that when they keep reusing very specific phrases they are cluing you in that you are supposed to use that as one of the terms to connect to the conclusion. "makes sense" appeared way too many times for it to be unimportant

Not sure why these "harder difficulty" ones are much easier for me than the easy ones...

im cooked

I'm struggling with believing it's ok to make some assumptions on the past two questions. For this one "change" -- change in previous sections has always been pointed out as vague

is it really highly encouraged to use lawgic for these types of questions? I don't find it necessary so far, but I don't want it to trip me up in the future and wonder what to get in the habit of

My face was like :O when I got 5/5!!! I struggled with this section at first I'm shocked I am improving :,,)

this completely lost me. i dont think i can get better at these

This is so time consuming... is there any way to do this faster..?

I feel helpless. I wish these sections would have more fundamental explanations on strategy instead of just sample questions.

im terrible at these
