Silly mistakes

Hey all,

I've been doing pretty well on my PTs, but I'm finding that on the logic games, I'm consistently making 1-2 silly mistakes on the section. I know that test taking anxiety and feeling rushed are causing me to misread questions or answers, and it's painful to see these mistakes when I correct the section. I'm wondering how frequently others are making these kinds of mistakes and what they are doing to fix it. I've been getting better - taking more time reading the questions and answers, but it's still a problem. I'm wondering what your experience has been.

I got stuck on this as well. As I'm thinking it over, I'm realizing that "just as likely" means that B is saying that the argument is assuming the inspectors have a 50/50 chance of picking a defective one versus a non-defective one. The argument is not saying this - it is saying that the chance is 20/80.

Same thinking here. I didn't choose E because there are so many variables that go into a country's general economic health. It seems very possible that countries that still imprison debtors could have stronger economies DESPITE imprisoning debtors, not BECAUSE they imprison debtors.

D still seems like a stronger answer to me because it points to a specific situation where punishment (rather than bankruptcy) produced a better economic outcome for the majority of people.
