NA Questions have also been kicking my butt. Here are a few things I did to get a little better at them:

1. I reviewed all of the lectures on NA Questions again and went through each example listed to have a clearer picture of the different kinds of questions and inferences I should be making.

2. I repeatedly worked on the two available problem sets on NA Questions and listened to JYs explanations on the correct answer choices and the reasons why the incorrect answer choices are wrong.

A couple of things I noticed as I was studying/reviewing:

In terms of eliminating WRONG answer choices:

- The correct answer choice tends to contain more general language (typically, avoid any answer choice that sounds too specific because they are more likely to not be CRUCIAL aka necessary for the stimulus to make sense.)

- There are usually a couple of answer choices that are completely wrong because they tend to bring in outside information that is not relevant to the stimulus. For the question stems I have been encountering, these answer choices usually end up being a sufficient assumption or superfluous information that is annoying and wastes time

I think I have more trouble with these NA questions because it requires me to not only read the answer choice, but also to negate it and see if that destroys the argument. It's a two-step process that happens five times (for each answer choice) and tires my brain out (lol). Unfortunately, it's the only way to do it.

I can usually eliminate 3 out of the 5 choices pretty quickly and are torn between the remaining two. Does anyone have any further advice on how to get better at these??
