ommggg reading is so fundamental, the moment I re-read the first sentence during BR i immediately knew what mistake a made and I was slapping my forehead.

Since this is an MSS question, I feel like AC E is right only because the other ones are very wrong. AC B and C are obviously wrong, AC A is anti-supported based on the first sentence of the last paragraph. This leaves us with AC D and E. I personally did not like either but I thought AC E required too many assumptions to be correct but I can see where the test writers were going with this after reviewing my wrong answers.

AC D is incorrect because the author never says this is a concern as of recently. In the first paragraph, he says losing info is of great concern to them. This implies that they were already focused on what needs to be kept and what will ultimately be lost. The last sentence of the passage kind of throws you off but on a deeper review, again this is not saying they just became concerned with what to keep and lose. This is saying the danger is that there's so much to look through that there's not enough time to save everything.

When you consider this, AC E is MSS. It may not be the perfect answer but its the only one that you cant necessarily dispute.

On my first attempt, I missed the "specific species" and the "most of the species" part which I realized was CRUCIAL to answering this question correctly during blind review.

Guys...this is literally a whole to part flaw so we had to find the answer that would explain that flaw! Once I realized this, I immediately saw why AC A is correct. We have to prove that what impacts most of the amphibians does not impact the specific group of them the author originally referred to.

I'm realizing these harder questions almost use synonyms that you have to be mindful of. population remains settled ~ no migration, climate stable ~ no drastic changes. I feel like sometimes we get so wrapped up in looking for language to overlap we forget to recognize when they're saying the same thing in a different way

@Pspspsps tbh, I `give myself a chance to answer it but if I can't figure it out in about a minute and a half, I guess. If I get to an answer during this time, I mark it and immediately move on.

These questions are almost always time sinks for me so its more worth it to give it a shot, mark your answer and move on, than to spend 3+ minutes trying to get the answer

I think a module that offers practice on reading conditional statements without indicators would be extremely helpful for those of us who struggle in this area.

@haena see I did the opposite and assumed that because used a comparison word it was insinuating there was an overlap in info. I actually switched from AC B to D for that reason. Thanks for this.

I got this wrong because I viewed cosmic justice as a concept rather than an goal to be achieved. Very interesting how two words can make an AC completely wrong.

I think the explanation of why AC A was correct could be better. Here's what I wrote:

In the first sentence of paragraph 4, the author mentions that there was no accepted explanation of how hydrogen and helium could produce energy. The absence of this explanation, not due in any part because of her reasoning, made interpreters have a hard time accepting her findings. There's no mention that her method was unbelievable, just that the conclusion she came to did not have a reasonable explanation at the time. Rejecting her hypothesis does not mean they believed her data/reasoning was flawed.

Study Block Feedback

I've been using 7Sage for about 5 months now and I have really enjoyed the curriculum. Now that I've gotten to the study block phase, I noticed the block allows you to select how long you'd like to study a day. My issue with this is that it only accounts for 2 hours worth of drilling and does not include time for blind review/wrong answer journaling.

For me, blind review/journaling can take up to 30 minutes per section (which is a long time, I just prefer to be thorough). With this in mind, I wanted to suggest that the study blocks include at least 30 minutes of wrong answer journaling into the study day. This would make the study day more realistic to actual practice. If I only have two hours to study, chances are I can complete 1 RC section + review and MAYBE a few targeted drills with review (while I'm in the early stages of studying at least).

funny enough, I was actually able to assume the answer to this question without looking at the ACs but the language parsing got me caught up.

I found this question really tough because I could not connect the AC phrasing with my lawgic. I kept thinking my lawgic was wrong as I read the ACs even though I had it right. I got the question correct in the end but man, this was rough.

I actually had no idea that mutually inconsistent meant contradiction lol. Had I known that I would never have picked AC A.

This is your sign to work on your vocabulary while studying for this exam lol.

@Garrett_dom For these, I think you know the flaw so you go hunting for the AC that fits that and when you find it, mark it and move on. These questions are suppose to be a time sink so you really have to trust yourself to move on the moment you know an AC has an incorrect element.

@Garrett_dom i think you're correct. largely what makes D correct is the fact that the conclusion is conditional so we must assume we are operating in a world where that hypothesis is true. Kevin has a video about condition conclusions on youtube that is really good for understanding this concept.

Man, I feel like the difficulty of this question came from how hard it was to understand what the lawyer was saying. I found myself getting turned around on whether I was to look for answers that did not support how Congleton would get the project to fail or answer that did not support why the lawyer thought the witness was lying.

After Kevin's explanation, I realized both of those ideas were completely off target. Any suggestions on how to approach questions like this in the future?
