Thanks for responding, glad to know I am not the only one! For me, it simply took a lot of practice and repetition. I always considered myself to be a logical person (doesn't everyone?) but I also overcomplicated the issues. Learning all of the stra…
So, just a simple follow-up question: would you consider SA to be more of an implicit extension from the argument as opposed to MSS being more explicit?
If those two things didn't occur at all, then there would be no reason for the government's requirements to demolish buildings with asbestos -- they just wouldn't happen. I think that would just make the AC completely irrelevant to the argument. We …
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 would still weaken the argument.
I would say it is better to question these with hypotheticals like I had mentioned before and look for an AC that resolves the issue. I can't really help you beyond that. In regard to AC D weakening, if the asbestos will be disturbed no matter what,…
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 risks. I honestly don't think AC D …
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 this case.
AC D is incorrect because it doesn't prove that it will actually case health risks to anyone. According to the argument, if there is a health risk, then the government shouldn't do it. If the weakness with the argument is that there might not be any…
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 how I ~think~ it would look:
Re…
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 immediately looked for an AC that …
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 simply understand them in respect to the a…
100%. If anything, you would be the prime candidate to do it. Scores in your range indicate that you understand the basic mechanics of the test. At this point, I would suggest getting comfortable with your test-taking strategies. Try to simulate the…

I wouldn't say closest thing to professional tutoring actually. I a paid for one of the commonly advertised 'professional courses' (which cost we well over $1,000) and I will tell you this, despite them being 'professional' and …
I have been consistently hitting 162 without being able to finish any of the sections. I am definitely interested in hopes I can resolve the timing issues in time. Seems like a relatively fixable issue as opposed to not understanding the questions.

I could definitely see this becoming a a time-consuming activity. Maybe a possible alternative would be to limit the number of sentences that I write out (3-5 sentences)? Also, like @"Forever Addicted to Co…
@"Lime Green Dot" In terms of the confidence strategy, do you mean to complete the entirety of the question, flag it if I am not confident, and return to the question later? As opposed to spending an unwarranted amount of time on the questions I hav…
