Focusing on eliminating those that were out of scope definitely helped

if you missed D this one is very helpful!!

ok you know what after actually taking a second to use my imagination for C it makes sense-- if they said 'the specific outrageous acts' such as 'stealing fire from the gods and giving it to humans' its wild that it happens once but eerily strange that it happens twice. i would have liked if C had used the word extremely or uncannily to demonstrate that degree of similarity.

Also in the stim i read it like the histories were 'likely written by enemies' rather than 'were' if i had kept that in mind I would have looked to find a reason why we can't trust the writings of his enemy after all if he really was a tyrant the writings of his enemies would likley have been extremely accurate as they wanted to fully document his reign so ok fine C

At first i though C was a leap but C is the only one that addresses the Ad hominem flaw them being enemies doesn't inherently mean they would fabricate it so C gives evidence they did

If you just want to get to low 150s then don't attempt each question focus on getting the first 18 (it could be a slightly higher or lower number i can't remember off my head) correct. However in general you are too early in your journey to be worrying about speed imo

hi me!

ahh where were you all summer?? i am leaving sunday but if you want a virtual study partner hmu

feeling f*cked

This was deceptively easy but i need to remember that sometimes MC questions are kinda friendly

@lzagrodnik yeah i feel like im just going to have to revisit later and hope in my subconscious im digesting this

@CTU2B haha exactttllly. Mm i go back sommetimes.. but in my journal its online and in the notes section i give a general "tip to myself" and thats what i review rather than the full weight of it like 'read stim more carefully' or 'dont let simplicity outsmart you.' I also of course track trends but besides that yeah I think its mostly for vocalizing and tracking my pattern of wrong answers and bad strategies.

#feedback the question tags should be updated

I go about it after i do a section and a blind review, if i still get a question wrong twice in a row i add it to the journal because those are the questions that i am missing something fundamental and where i want to see the pattern of what continues to be wrong i don't do it after a drill unless its mixed question types. i think thinking of it as an actual journal is so important like rant to it call yourself out, think about your relationship to your own intuition etc. At least for me, it has helped in building confidence and in baking in new strategies

i had it right the first time but the Blind review automation made me doubt my answer i need to put me first and not do blind reviews unless i get the answer flat out wrong and know that first :,

this section has had me going for several mental health walks and needing several mental health cigs

yikes this is the one section i dont think i grasped at all-- i didn't find it as helpful as the other sections

i just want to french kiss the shallow dip

its that serious because SHE DOESN'T MISS

i feel like he should have used the -m-> symbol instead of the --> symbol because we already know that you can't contrapose a mostly 'likley' statement

basically A is saying

adv->/royalties

instead of /adv->royalties

if it was structured like that i think it would have been correct. Basically she needed to not have an option of both in this situation she got to have a 'preference' instead of 'settling.'

@angelinamarinucci i feel like the grammar lessons sometimes allow us to just rest and believe that we can just take it for granted esp since in this question that structure was reflected in the AC

@RuthOlvera #feedback

this is the first one i got wrong in a while i think i was getting too cocky and wanted to improve my time more than i wanted to have the right answer...

for this one i got it right and I feel like having answer choice B was helpful in steering me back to correlations and causes and such

ok i looked past answer C because it had the least technical language damn
