    Awh hope you hang in there. This test is rough.

    Personally, I try not to get technical on LR because I just end up getting confused. I just try to read and answer.

    I feel like I understood main point questions better before starting this course. I really hate to say that because it is an awesome platform. Now it's just like I am getting most questions wrong and all I hear in the back of my head is the instructor saying, "Who cares, whatever, move on." lol

    Oh, dear lender to whom I was once greatly in debt for my undergraduate education, go study the basics of logic and learn how to identify premises and conclusions. Once you do that, main point questions are just identifying and paraphrasing the conclusion of the argument. Beyond that, make sure you are choosing the FINAL conclusion and not a subconclusion. For assumption questions, learn, memorize, and master the standard flaws and learn the five ways to weaken or strengthen a causal argument. Doing those two things should give you a big improvement. Beyond that, practice trying to weaken (attack) every argument you see. That discipline will also yield a lot of improvement. Don't quit though. The test is learnable.

    Before you quit try a different path. Just studying myself I wasn't changing much, online classes with teachers like Henry Ewing and Josh Adly my LR skyrocketed in drills. Sometimes we just need a teacher.

    I wouldn’t quit just yet. Try a different method instead of quitting. It’s difficult before it becomes easy! Hang in there!!!!
