Right! Like @ENTJ said, MSS questions you're using the stimulus to support the answer choices, and in the justify questions you're using the answer choices to support the stimulus.
Hey Bertie!
The conclusion is that the A was probably tree dwelling?
How is it supported? The A had claws that enable modern tree dwelling birds to perch in trees.
So, the whole conclusion depends on the type of claws A has, and what the ornith…
Diagramming looks good! And you correctly identified the gap which is what's most important. You need a SA that says something like causing people to resent you is imprudent, which is what E gives you. Nice work!
Answer choice B has absolutely no support and therefore is the least supported by default. You can't use information solely about mammalian species to prove something about non-mammalians, so good job on that.
Yup, do all of the games (or most of them) until you're comfortable doing them perfectly. Don't waste your great work in the other sections by settling for anything less than perfect in LG!
Apes are the only animals capable of learning human language. So, Phil thought (PT) is unique to humans.
The gap alarm should be going off in your head! What's the gap?

Why? Because if…
I also read for structure as I don't believe there's any other way to really do RC. I think all methods have it at its core. But I do think it's important, after you're done with each paragraph and the passage, to briefly summarize you just read, ho…

C is incorrect because we have no information about the relative sizes of the nests, only that the boxed nets become crowded. It could be true that the natural nests are very small but that their small size isn't a problem because they are so well h…
A SA question would more likely take the form of:
X--->T
T
----------
D
(Which might be written as "since T, we know D")
In which case the SA would have to connect the variables T and D. This would look like this: "T-->D". And since we kno…
December may be a wiser option for you. Just taking test after test will not lead to a higher score for you if you do not spend a sufficient amount of time reviewing them. What you are doing by just taking tests every day (or multiple tests per day …
It's a very similar flaw, but the one in the stimulus is an incorrect reversal (mixing up suff and nec) while the one in answer choice B is an incorrect negation (taking the absence of the suff as proof of the absence of the nec).
Your template for…
The reason why it's not advised is because the person who is writing the letter matters much less than what is said. If your LOR is coming from your university president but is filled with cliches and platitudes then it's going to be really obvious …

Hey Sarkisp!
In general, since indicates a premise (as opposed to a conclusion) and shouldn't be regarded as an indicator of sufficiency. In the above relationship, it's probably not appropriate to diagram as if it were conditional language because…
Also, you said: "~nobility ------> ~ fate
Fate ------>Nobility
Instead D says
~Fate ------> ~Nobility.
Nobility -----> Fate.
Technically wouldn't this be unnecessary since it is a reversal? I know some people might say o just ignore th…
P1: In order to be tragedy, must have noble protagonists.
CP: no nobility, then no tragedy
P2: No one believes that human endeavors are governed by fate.
C: Thus, contemp lit cannot be a tragedy.
It therefore cannot be the case that people d…
No need to rush it! Give yourself the best possible chance at getting your highest score. That probably means taking the test in December, so the sooner you accept that, the sooner you can make a plan to crush Dec'15!
Really focus in on the form that the conclusion takes. If it's definitive in the stimulus then it must also be in the answer. This is also true for probabilistic conclusions, cause/effect, etc. Many times you can eliminate answers just off of that. …
You can't brute force progress. Taking 2 tests a day seems like a recipe for disaster as studying is going to become a miserable burden in your day, every day, until you lose all motivation to do it.

I have a 3.95 GPA from a top 15 undergrad and don't see why for the amount and quality of studying I have done I shouldn't be able to get a 170.
No amount of studying, undergrad school ranking, or undergrad GPA entitles you to a h…
If you've just started PTs now, you're really doing yourself a disservice by taking the test in 3 weeks. Reschedule for December and continue to prep with the same level of urgency so that you can be ready by then.
First thing you need to do is to start taking PT on a regular basis! Then, once you have a solid base of scores and analytics, you'll be able to make a good call on which test date is best for you.
