Should I be foolproofing the games that are part of the core curriculum or should I only start foolproofing games when I finish the cc and start drilling and taking practice tests?
Thanks

Necessary assumption questions: How to not choose the sufficient assumption answer choice?
When answering necessary assumption questions in LR, how do you not fall for the trap answer choices that provide a sufficient assumption? I am finding that when given a SA answer choice, I will often select it.
Thanks in advance!

I had a problem with AC A because I figured violent crime could be very rare and at the same time there could be a large number of violent crime. For example, 1 in100,000 violent crimes per person could be considered very rare, but in a country of 1 billion, would add up to what might be considered a large amount of violent crime. I think this was too nit picky of a way to think about it but its the first thing that entered my head.

We would really need some more details of what you are struggling with to give more specific advice. Are you running out of time? missing main point questions? missing structure questions?
a few things you could try that i have found helpful to get from -7 to -3/-4:
feign interest in each passage (after you are finished, read some more about each topic on wikipedia or youtube or whatever).
low resolution summary (this will really help with structure questions)
moving through questions more quickly (only reference passage if you are really unsure or have time at end)
in blind review, reread the whole passage to really understand it. based on your lr scores, you really should be able to get every single question right if untimed, and this will uncover where you went wrong on the timed test. you will be able to recognize where you read too quickly and didn't understand, where you missed the tone of the author, where you missed inferences from specific details. i have found that by doing this enough it has really helped me.

I thought this argument was so weak that the first sentence could not possibly be the conclusion. Oh well.
Hi,
What are the best strategies for high scorers on reading comprehension with the new digital format? On paper with minimal underlining, I was averaging about -3 wrong per RC section. I read the powerscore rc bible a few months ago and generally did not find their viewstamp analysis to be particularly useful. With playing around with the electronic underlining and highlighting features, I think I will just never use them as they are more finicky than useful. I just finished the core curriculum for logic games and logical reasoning, so I will start the reading section of the curriculum now. Does the 7sage cc on reading still apply? Is it worthwhile? What changes with switch to tablet? Any other tips or advice on how to approach the reading comprehension on new format?
Thanks for the help!
I was still able to eliminate answer choice D even with missing the "avergae" part and just assuming it meant as large as female brains. I read it as of the male cats who did not contract the disease, 5 had bigger brains. But the conclusion of the argument is that brain size determines if a male cat can get disease x, not that they necessarily have to. diagrammed in lawgic, the conclusion is [ x -> big brain]. So even if you misread the average part, knowing that the cats have big brains does not tell you that the cats have the disease, only that they could get the disease. Thus, D does not weaken the argument, it just confirms the conclusion.
