@Sami I just went -7 on an LR section after 9 months, and I already take a couple hours off in the evening for TV. I think that's about all the fun time I can handle. I have a mental condition so if I take days off my timing gets worse and I forget …

Think about it this way.
Premise 1) Fact: An apple has complex sugars that can break down fat. (lets pretend its a fact.)
Premise 2) You know this is an apple.
Conclusion: You know this apple has complex sugars that ca…

What would you say to strengthen or weaken an argument like this?
Strengthen: His results and calculations have been confirmed and verified by most of the scientific community.
I don't think this would stren…
I'd recommend the Sam Harris clip in the curriculum instead. I meditate every morning for 20 minutes unless I have a very busy day or something to early in the morning. 10 to 15 felt useless and 30 minutes was too much, so I just set a timer on my p…
@JustDoIt
Thanks. That's really difficult to see. I'm sure this will be a flaw in some of the more difficult questions. That looks like a completely legitimate argument on first read.
Maybe they should call this flaw something different. It's real…
@j.y. ping How do you justify Q24, S3 on PT 46? "Anything" serves to modify the necessary in this instance, even though it is usually sufficient. "Even if" appears to modify the sufficient. This question is conditional as are most SA questions, so i…
Thanks @JustDoIt and @Sami
Definitely coming around to the idea that the percentages are a big part of discerning some from most.
@Sami Can you clarify your last statement about CBT and MBT? Are you saying that if some if offered in the stim then…
Ok. I've got it. You pointed out that the support is weakened by exposing the assumption that dioxin stays in the same place. If it doesn't stay in the same place and flows past the fish, the slow dioxin decomposition isn't as relevant. If you the d…
Our author is telling us that if it were dioxin, we wouldn’t see such a combination of the phenomena observed. Embedded here is our core assumption: that the dioxin is present in a single space while it takes its time to break down.
How d…
@DumbHollywoodActor Nope. Exacerbated it. Going back to basic structure now.
The dioxin is not causing the abnormalities. Why? The fish recover hormones relatively quickly and the dioxin takes a long time to decompose. Support: If the dioxin were c…
Hey @DumbHollywoodActor
Mind explaining a little bit more about why C is correct?
I think I understand what you're saying. Continued dioxin flowing downriver would build up higher levels of dioxin that are still slow to decompose, posing even more…
@BinghamtonDave That collection would be very helpful. I thought I saw a thread with a list already, but I must have been mistaken. Went back and looked and couldn't find it.
Bump. Can someone break this down for me in very very VERY simplified terms? I've never understood the leap year concept, and I really hate moving on from questions that I do not understand. Can someone please help me?
All I currently understand is…
Hey @BinghamtonDave
Thanks for your response. I've been thinking about this question for a couple days now weirdly.
Like Benjamin said, that the middle ear infection could be a bacterial infection is never explicitly mentioned in the stimulus. I'm…
So is this a cause and effect question? I'm not sure how to conclude that the virus is not the direct cause. Doesn't seem to be explicitly stated anywhere. If that was stated, it would make the answer much more reasonable. I understand how that cou…
@BenjaminSF I don't understand.15 OC and 85/OC means 15 kids have 85% more body weight than the other 85 /OC kids. Going up to 30 OC. You have 30 kids that have 85% more body weight than who? Is it the same 85 /OC kids? Does it shift to 30 OC and 60…
@BenjaminSF I was thinking the middle ear infection was more like a side effect, and just because the side effect is cured with antibiotics, it doesn't mean the virus will be cured as well. How did you determine that there must be an alternate caus…

C is not the right answer for PT5.S3.Q18, A is.
Wrong question number. Sorry. I was actually wondering about 12, the obese kids.
Alright this makes sense. The "it is not the case" method seems relatively foolproof if I come up short. But tell me if this seems accurate. I'm pretty sure that, with the exception of statements containing all, any, every, statements including quan…
Does this apply across the board? So that if there is a quantity indicator in a statement, say for an NA question, I should always negate that rather than the necessary indicator? Words like can, have, must etc.
Thanks for the response @"Not Ralph …
