I know that MSS questions work in a way where we cant "think outside of the box" meaning the answer is directly FROM the stimulus and you don't use any external thinking.

Is it right to eliminate A and B first because both of those don't refer to people who ARE taking the drug, but instead an "outside" perspective of the stimulus?

Because C D and E all talk about patients who are ALREADY taking the drug, meaning it is relevant to the stimulus and the answer has to be between those three.

is this ^^ a good way to work out the process of elimination?

for question 5, can i also say:

translation: medical research brought to peer review---->peer review occurs

contrapositive:medical research NOT brought to peer review----->peer review doesnt occur

or is that incorrect?

Thank you! This is a great perspective and I will give it a try!

I decided to push my test. I am taking an untimed practice test this weekend and working on solving the questions. Then once I feel more confident I'm going to take another practice exam.

Do you feel that helps you? If you can, do you mind attaching a copy of the way you're doing it so I can gauge how I should do it?

Yeah, I agree. If A=B=C, and A=C, then why isn't A correct?

I chose the correct answer for this reason:

Political Admin--> Economic success, Int Lib success = SUCCESSFUL

the stimulus said the political administration had ENVIRONMENTAL success and success with Int. Lib, so in order for it to be a complete success as the stimulus noted, it must have economic success as well.

Is that a good way to determine the right answer?

How can I follow this method in a certain time frame?? Or am i supposed to practice it so many times that my mind just gets accustomed to doing it??

Do you have a template of a wrong answer journal I could use? How do you structure yours?

Any time you look for the conclusion of an argument, there's key words it comes after. It could be "hence", "therefore", etc. Something like that will signal the conclusion, especially if its at the end it kinda shows that in summary, that's the argument (that supporters of political democracy support marketplace regulation).

I'm still not the best with MC questions, but that's a pattern I noticed. Hope that helps!

Wait this looks really useful. If you can find a way to make it for the August exam lmk!

Yeah I just tried that, and it did not go as well for me. I feel like theres some questions where I genuinely have to look back in the passage. The passage feels so dull I don't know what's going wrong. I summarize the paragraphs with a low-resolution summary...but even then I am not doing well.

I took my first PT AND DID HORRIBLE. Very discouraging but I'm trying to blind review now.

Question: How long into using 7sage/ following the methods do you begin to see improvement? I only started 7sage on Monday. Perhaps I need to get more familiar to see improvement? What do you think/suggest

I plan on taking my first PT this Friday. I've been studying about 3 weeks (2 weeks LR, 1 RC) and I want to see how it goes. I take my exam in August and am hoping that I reach the score I need...
