I am not scoring in the 170's (I wish) so take what I say however you will. I've heard so many say RC is the most difficult section, but I personally think it is LR. LG is difficult but I think it's mostly because of the superficial differences (mis…

@Bagelinthemorning said: Hi @Ashley25, Yeah, I agree. The numbers increasing by 10 doesn't mean that they make up the larger percentage of the pie. The percentage may only increase (let's say by 10%) but we are looking for an increase tha…

I don't think it's necessary to diagram exactly the same way so long as you can understand the argument and see that there is a mistaken reversal and that A doesn't necessarily know about the conditional statement. But I do think "AK(B3)" is enough …

@Bagelinthemorning said: Hey @Ashley25, You are correct! The author is making a causation argument based on two occurrences that coincide. The conclusion states that the republic's recruitment rates for 18 years olds requires recruitment …

@alexkoo095 said: Does people at 7sage still do this from time to time? It appears so, but it's completely random and I'd also be careful...I've had a tutor or two tell me they are scoring "XYZ" and I could tell within the first thirty secon…

@"Burden.of.Floof" said: @Ashley25 The idea of those two things being equal is probably both necessary and sufficient. If they’re not the same the argument is destroyed, and it’s mostly sufficient enough to draw the conclusion. I think you cou…

@"Burden.of.Floof" said: Okay, this question really tripped me up. Timed I was down to A and D and I couldn't decide. I just want to put it out there and hopefully someone can tell me if I'm way off base or on the right track. Translation…

@tealeavesbreadloaves said: @Ashley25 E weakens because it gives another potential detrimental effect of the proposal and attacks another assumption of the city councillors. The city councillors' entire reason for the proposal is because they …

@tealeavesbreadloaves said: Hey Ashley! This is an EXCEPT question, and D is actually the correct answer because it doesn't weaken. D doesn't weaken because what voters think don't matter (in the context of this argument). Your interpretation…

@dubatt said: Yes 'physicians' in this case includes everyone. I think it is a safer bet to take the answer choices as they are presented and pull out the implication just from what is given. Also if you are unsure, reading all the other answe…

@dubatt said: Hey @Ashley25 the key here is to remember to stay on task. Specifically you want to make the conclusion that it is generally unwise for patients to have medical checkups when they don't feel well, more likely to be false. 'E' tel…

@canihazJD said: It's not an argument. You are given seemingly conflicting premises and tasked with identifying 4 answers that would work toward reconciling them and one that does not. B says (they did something) designed to keep more abl…

I asked that same question and didn't receive a conclusive response. Those videos just aren't available and I'd be very surprised if they will be anytime soon so if you are confused about anything in those older prep tests, you'd better ask as many …

@canihazJD said: Disturbed asbestos bad removal disturbs asbestos So don't require removal. Strengthen A - Asbestos less risky than smoking drugs, booze, diet, being lazy, nuclear bombs, sharks with lasers, telling your wife to…

IF someone could check my thinking above, it would be greatly appreciated!

@DontPay4LawSchool said: Are you asking if the answer choice read "asbestos will not be disturbed by building renovation or building demolition?" In that case, that would probably contradict the secondary premise. If anything, I would say it w…
-
@DontPay4LawSchool said: Yes, if you were to choose that AC, you are accepting that asbestos will be disturbed by those two things no matter what. but if neither of those two things happen then does it no longer weaken or does it not work th…
-
I...don't know. since it only happens during renovations or demolition, am i supposed to assume either one or both of these two things will happen?
-
@DontPay4LawSchool said: If the asbestos is disturbed it CAN cause health risks. It is simply necessary that it is disturbed. Therefore, simply because the destruction of buildings causes it to be disturbed doesn't mean it leads to health risk…

@DontPay4LawSchool said: There are two parts to an argument: (1) premise and (2) conclusion. If there is a weakness within our premise, then the conclusion remains unjustified. Therefore, it is ok to attack the premise -- or, strengthen, in th…
-
But you are questioning the premises. The argument says if the asbestos is disturbed it will pose a health risk and if D were true, then yeah, the asbestos will inevitably be disturbed during renovation or demolition of buildings...and cause a healt…
-
@DontPay4LawSchool said: Because it could be disturbed but no one is near it that negates the conclusion that the government should not tear down the buildings. I wouldn't make this into a conditional (at least not in a timed PT) but this is h…
-
Eh...aren't you questioning the premise? I don't think we are supposed to do that. The stimulus says if it's disturbed, it will be a health risk...

@DontPay4LawSchool said: When I was reading it, I noticed that there was a gap in the logic and asked myself: "who cares if it is disturbed?" It could be disturbed but we could make sure that NO ONE was near it when it was disturbed. So, I imm…

What's wrong with D though?

@DontPay4LawSchool said: So, just to be clear, this is the diagram that I came up with: Shy People s--> Actors --> Exuberant --> Extroverts I wouldn't focus too much on actually trying to diagram the ACs, it is easier to sim…

Even if C were true, it wouldn't explain why people who give up cigarette and take up pipes or cigars would have no reduction in risk to their health. It's strange because were were told one sentence ago that smoking pipes or cigars pose a distinctl…

Someone correct me if I am wrong b/c I don't want to give out inaccurate info. You are indeed trying to counter, or weaken a claim, namely the one given in the stimulus, but you are supplying a premise, or strengthening an argument that will utilize…
