Yeah i feel the same on some of the other games as well...currently dk if there is an option
hey 7sage, these are great. Really helped me get a better grip as to what was missing from my first draft. Dk these were a part of the curriculum until now (6 months since when i started), but glad i found em as we get into crunch time.
Expecto negation - tough one tbh. Starting to spend time here as i've realized i'm not good at it. Finding the opposite (not the same as negating) conditionals is a mind scramble.
It'll click soon, the more familiar you get with the language the easier itll be to juggle mentally
The subconscious understanding and application has been huge for me as well. Personally i prefer the blitzes so that i can work on speed, the links are good but after a point it gets easy when you have so much time to chew on it and you dont get as many reps in.
Yeah i feel you, the whole cond. logic lang. was annoying. Maybe you should write down on a piece of paper, its not timed so no pressure. And once you do enough you start to see a pattern that translates to your head
Just tried "Train of Thought" a few times - it's ok. I definitely struggled with the last 2 questions. The first 3 were very easy imo. The overall use for it i'm not quite sure, but in a way its nice in the sense of warming up for RC.
im in the same boat. Whats helped me is focus on fundamentals and getting those quicker through games, quizlet, or drills. And also taking untimed sections with BR.
Curious to know what games y'all have been using, for what purpose, and what improvements you've noticed?
They've been a great addition for me due to instant feedback, constant specific repetition, and they keep me sane because of the game styles.
Currently i've found these helpful, specifically using the games in bullet #1 & 2 daily:
Stimulus X-Ray --> been great practice to parse stims and identify POA better
Logic Blitz, Logic Links, and If-Then Blitz --> Great for conditional logic and i've gotten so much quicker and better in these areas
Flaw Hunter --> havent used as much as the above, but this ones been good as well to help understand flaws quickly
Argument ER --> Has been helpful as well for SA skills
I've tried monster files and numbers blitz, but didnt find them that helpful.
What games have y'all liked or find useful?
What helped me is thinking about it like a science experiment: you essentially need a control group to test wether iron is a factor or not in developing Parkinsons. With the GD ppl you need them to have the same amount of iron. If the GD are eating more iron, you cant identify if its iron or genetics. But if theyre eating the same amount, you can now test if more or less iron would lessen your chances of Parkinsons.

The second time AC E explanation says AC C, i believe it means to say AC E instead NOT AC C
"Similar to (C), this sounds like it’s restating our first premise (again, if it were, that would also be incorrect). (C) is different than the premise because it includes all people, rather than just artists, and limits great artwork to “only a few.”"
@mvivot Answer choice E says the argument took for granted that "the number of traffic fatalities the year before the new speed limit was introduced was not abnormally high." What if that wasn't true? In a world where fatalities the year before were abnormally high compared to other years, the decrease in fatalities might simply represent a return to normal levels (that happens to coincide with the reduced highway speed limit). Without this assumption, the conclusion becomes less likely to be true. Therefore, the argument’s failure to consider E represents a flaw in its reasoning.
@mvivot nvm found the answer in another explanation (by @MridulaDebnath ) that helped make it click for me:
@nikki trying to understand your negatio. tip. How does the negation of E make the argument fall apart? If the # of TF's two years ago was abnormally high...wouldnt that strengthen the argument but weaken the criticism that could be given?
@mvivot also personal opinions through actual statements or adjectives the author uses to cleverly indicate thier feelings. And i color coordinate depending on what im highlighting
Thinking about it like this helped me:
If Swift had 1-2 airplanes, then solely mechanical problems can be attributed as the cause (which is what we don't want). Thus we need more than 1-2 airplanes to then have other reasons for the cancellations.
Fantastic, I appreciate the insight!
