Hi gang,
I have been trying my best to implement a low-res summary approach to my RC passages. However, I find that taking time to perform these low res summaries takes some precious time away from actually answering questions. Is one word sufficient enough for something like a low res summary? Any tips out there for time reduction?
Sincerely,

This question kinda had me befuddled in my initial PT and my blind review, and still I am struggling to understand the question after both. Any chance someone has a better idea of how we can arrive at the answer being C using the question stimulus?
i am getting cooked in these flaw questions — feel like im on the precipice of it clicking but it's not quite clicking for me and I have incredibly high solve times. any tips on these that I may be missing?
these ones are right on for me, I'm able to get most correct. however, it's my timing that's a bit behind. is there a situation where if i get to the right answer during my POE, I can just skip trying to analyze the rest and move on? or is there a way to really run through these answers more quickly? Or would that just be more practice? Any way I can get my timing down!!
you're being so real for this.... felt like a breath of fresh air hahaha
Highly agree - would be great to get these answers under time constraints, and at the moment it's not quite possible with these more intensive questions.
This is so real, I'd love to get a better idea of shortening the time on this. I spent 6 minutes getting the question correct, but I felt like I had to run through all these hoops to get to the answer. I love how JY explains things deeply, but I also wish he would also explain how these things are done in a speed / time-crunch environment. I think about the aliens question and how JY explained that this would need to be done intuitively somehow or with extra time.
let me cook - this one went crazy :)
JK - I figured it out. What we are trying to do here is determine the principles that most help justify the reasoning in the argument. It doesn't matter if the child intended to injure the second child. B is simply stating the rule that yes, that's correct - it is in fact wrong for a person who understands the difference between right and wrong to intentionally harm another person. That most aligns with the facts and the conclusion of the stimulus. We are not trying to PROVE that the conclusion works (i.e., finding that the child intentionally did this). We are trying to find a rule that most justifies the reasoning they came to.
I think I was a little confused by the answer. I went with D because the stimulus says "IF it was intended to injure the second child." We don't know if the first child did this intentionally. We just know that the first child understands the difference between right and wrong. I understand why D is incorrect - because that also does not connect fully to the facts of the stimulus. But B presumes that the first child did this intentionally, and I feel like I couldn't infer that from the stimulus. Is there something I should pick up in the future that I am missing here? Some sort of assumption from the stimulus that points that out directly?
omg i cannot believe after several rounds of drills I finally got 5/5 right!! let's gooo!!
Agree with this that it had me super confused - I thought that A supported the idea of social inertia, whereas E did not necessarily do that. This one really tripped me up - it's saying we don't know what social inertia means, but we can infer that that means some sort of social uprising right? That means the tech inno = job loss answer would be part of that. Social inertia to keep the job.
But I also understand the idea that A is rather clearly pointing out that they DO desire comfort/safety via job security, and it's a better alt explanation.

disney: Spotify premium members are allowed to listen to music and audiobooks. Only audiobook listeners will be able to receive thanks from authors for listening to their book. Frank is a spotify premium member, and he has received a thanks from an author. THEREFORE, Frank must be an audiobook listener.
trash bin: My paperback copy of The Great Gatsby is missing, and my roommate's shoeprints appear in front of my bookshelf. My roommate said she left to do some reading. She left her computer open with several tabs open showing prices for the paperback version Great Gatsby online. She wrote all these prices down next to her book budget on a piece of paper nearby, crossing out every price for being above budget. As a result, my hypothesis is that my roommate probably took my book to read for a while.
yes! particularly interested in the idea of a discord or slack chat :)
