I think you mean question 18. I just BR-ed this question (in anticipation of the BR Skype group this evening. You should join us!!!). This problem is a mess. It’s got embedded conditionals and DeMorgan’s Law too.
Conclusion: If there…
Are you jotting down reasons why each wrong answer is incorrect during BR? That way you can start to pinpoint weaknesses in your reasoning. Let those answers you get wrong become learning opportunities.
@blueyayfree To improve my timing, I had to practice silently talking to myself. By actively engaging with the material, I don't have to read it over and over again to understand. And, of course, by "talking to myself "I mean actively reading.

Well, from my general understanding of the exam there are no 100% shortcuts that ALWAYS work.
I would never consider The Negation Test a short cut. It’s more often a scenic route. In fact, I rarely use it for MBT questions becaus…
@movanation Aha! Now I see your reasoning error. You’re equating a contrapositive with negation. They’re not the same things. Contrapositives are equivalent statements. To make a contrapositive, negate both conditions and reverse them. (A-->B is…
@"Assumption Assassin” It sounds as if you were hoping this was more than it actually is, a cunning way to get as many people as possible to apply to their school. I only need to cite your own evidence to support my claim:

And it's my understanding that the negation test works 99% of the time, not always.
What’s your source for that? My understanding of something that must be true is that its negation is impossible. That’s literally how I define s…

f Hank's neighbor has a kid under 6, THEN the pool is open before noon?
Sorry to get Socratic on you, but can you negate this statement for me. i just want to see your thought process.
@"Assumption Assassin” Maybe I’m missing something, but isn’t this just recruitment? It would appear to be effective recruitment because it has an air of being personal. But at the end of the day, it’s about getting as many people as possible to app…
If everyone is permitted to swim at some time during each day, and from noon-5pm kids under 6 aren’t permitted, and after 5pm only adults, we can infer that children under 5 must be permitted to swim before noon. Right?
Must be trues, like necessar…

You may not want to hear this, but right there might be a symptom of your difficulties. What caused you to freeze in those …
@lsatblitz any where from 2-15 people
@always10 what morning would work? Monday? Tuesday? Weekend?
@poohbear so Friday looks better than Saturday night?
@Maestro_eba He answered it. You're negating the sufficient condition (the left side of the arrow). Group 4 negates the necessary condition (the right side of the arrow). This is all explained very well in the 7Sage curriculum. I'd advise the starte…
I think it’s something to address with @"Alan Cheuk" Hopefully, it’s not too big of a headache for him. Since re-takes really do seem to be a part of a lot of people’s studying strategy, it may be worth while to put it into the Analytics somehow...
Flaw descriptive questions go beyond just identifying the flaw. It also requires being able to translate abstract language of the answers into the more tangible language of the stimulus. I think drilling flaw questions and method of reasoning questi…

I then decided I should go back and start drilling LGs on 1-35 before I take another PT, while still drilling some LR and RC sections in there to keep those skills up.
I think this is a pretty good idea. @Pacifico ’s Logic Game St…
