Question difficulty

enrique.patino.daly

Hi all and happy holidays. Multi-part question.

Was curious how the question difficulty in the modules is assigned? Based on the scores of all test takers or based on the 7sage community?

Normally I'm getting close to every question correct until I hit level 4/5 where I'm getting roughly 50-75%. Are there common threads/traps in the level 4 and 5 difficulties (In LR currently) that I can target during practice?

Thanks,
Enrique

Wow, this is a great question as I am in the same predicament. I would love to see some responses to this thread.

I think the flaws are the same for the most part when compared to the easier questions. The difference lies perhaps in how well the writters hide the flaws and/or how attractive they make the wrong answer choices. Just keep doing what you are doing, work to get better on the harder questions, and work to get faster/better at the questions that you are already getting right so that you have more time for the tough ones.

Hope that helps!

None across the board ... Which QT's in particular?

In the harder questions they often either make the stimulus harder to parse out, or they add multiple flaws in, among, or between the premises. In both cases identifying premises and conclusion are your best friends and holding on tight to that conclusion will help you identify the actual flaw rather than flaws that exist in the premises alone.
