I'm going through the core curriculum and I got most of the drills from the W/S/E module wrong. it's crazy.

I feel very comfortable with the theory and strategy for this question type but when it comes to drilling, I miss so many of them! What is happening?

    yeah so that doesn't make any sense you can't understand the theory and strategy if you're getting a lot of questions wrong. what the theory is for strengthener is (general strategy: close the gap most on nets preferably from both sides, if not from both sides, from the weaker side, if not from either of those options, from the stronger side), and the specific technique listed in order of best to worst options is [provide sufficient condition, eliminate alternative explanation, eliminate obstacle, show expected correlation holds, provide necessary condition]. the technique for weaken questions is the mirror image (expand gap most on net preferably from both sides, if not from both sides from the stronger side, if not from either of those options from the weaker side), and specifically [eliminate necessary condition, provide alternative explanation, provide obstacle, show expected correlation does not hold, eliminate sufficient condition]
