LR Question stems in newer PTs?

Frostbyte · November 2015

Is it just me or are the question stems actually diverging from the clear cut categories 7Sage had them in in the PTs in the 60s and 70s? Any advice on how to handle this?

There are definitely plenty of quirky stems! But the categories are still the same, in operation.

Understand the task presented by each question stem, no matter how weirdly it's worded.
