#help for this part "a decrease in the cost of living in the downtown area will guarantee that the number of consumers living there will increase"

why isn't it Number of consumers living there increase -> decrease in cost of living?

I thought "guarantee" meant that the "cost of living in the downtown area" was what NEEDS to happen in order for the number of consumers living there to increase, so it would be a necessary condition

So I thought the assumption here was that publicity campaigns need to elicit sympathy for the organisms in some way and I picked C which I thought bridges this assumption. Can someone explain why C is wrong?

for #4, i diagrammed it as

potions -m-> witch's hut are poisonous

potion <-s-> beneficial effects

i'm confused, why isn't the sentence "every potion has some beneficial effects"? Is it because "some" is quantifying the object of the sentence ("beneficial effects") and not the subject? do the diagramming rules only apply if the quantifier is modifying the subject of the sentence?

in other words, what do you do when there are multiple quantifiers like "every" and "some" in one sentence?

wait so are "some," "most, "many," quantifiers also conditionals? i.e. is "some unicorns dont poop rainbows" a conditional statement? or is it something completely different #help

for question 4, is this part of the statement "The kingdoms in Westeros whose economies rely predominantly on trade" a conditional? I thought it was since "rely" can indicate necessity, right? #help

I finished the 7sage Core Curriculum and read the loophole in October 31, 2025. In mid-November took a PT after and got a 156 (BR 163). My goal (even though it might sound crazy right now) is to get 170+, ideally in the mid to high 170s (aiming to take the test in April 2026). My main weakness is LR. After reviewing my incorrect answers extensively in my Wrong Answer Journal, I identified some recurring weaknesses, including 1) NA, 2) SA with conditional reasoning, 3) MBT/MSS questions and 4) parallel reasoning question types.

I work full time and study 2-4 hours a day after work and on the weekend I study 6-10 hours a day. However, I am not sure if I am using my time wisely. Could someone please give me some advice on the following:

  1. When should I move on from drilling each question type? For the past week and a half, I've been doing 5 easy, 5 medium and 5 hard questions for NA (unlimited time) and then thoroughly reviewing why I got questions wrong and analyzing why each answer is incorrect/correct. My accuracy rate is about 80%-100% on the easy/medium questions but on the hardest ones it is more variable. Should I keep drilling until I get a 100% on all the hard questions? Honestly, I don't know when that is going to happen and I'm worried I will burn through all the material before I'm ready.

  2. My plan is to focus on doing these 5 easy/5 medium/5 hard question drills and reviewing my wrong answers for the 4 question types mentioned above for the rest of December. After I finish that, should I a) drill all my weak question types under timed pressure, b) do a timed LR section, or c) do an entire practice test?

  3. To ensure that I'm retaining the information I'm learning, should I be doing a mix of LR question type drills? (i.e. once I finish both NA and SA drills, should I do a drill with both question types together)?

  4. If I am aiming for April 2026. when should I begin doing entire timed practice tests?

Thanks so much for your help!
