I am having a hard time with grouping games. I have been drilling for the last couple of days, but I still find myself stumped on certain questions (even if I know exactly how the games are setup). Any pointers?
what type of grouping games? Grouping and sequencing? Have you referred to 7Sage explanations?

eta: can't remember all the grouping types
In and out grouping games, for example, Dec 2001 game question 5. The one with the fruits at a fruit stand.

I have tried the 7sage. Mostly helpful.

I don't know maybe my thinking is wrong or I need to go through a checklist in my head when I do certain question.
Can't believe the actual studiers didn't address this, you guys are dropping the ball here... For In and Out games, try looking up Manhattan's approach, it's very interesting and at first seems counterintuitive, but after i timed myself doing it their way and doing it the "normal" (7sage) way, it really was ab the same time used and it was helpful with making complete inferences, bc that may be one of your issues.

Thank you justabitunusual. I did the game I mentioned above again, it was testing the understanding of the same rule.
I will take a look at Manhattan's way and see if it helps. Thanks again!

sure, np...i think it's called The Logic Chain (idk if you will be able to find it free online or not?), and it gets somewhat cumbersome for really complicated games, but was def helpful w helping me get certain connections and does help to answer some of the questions inherently whereas 7sage's approach a lot of times calls for a new diagram. Good Luck!

eta: having both methods in your tool belt is tcr

Clipping along in the Trainer. Diagramming is definitely new, but I'm starting to get a handle on it and finding what sort of notation works best for me. Today also included the first chapter on conditionals-- loved it. It was good hitting a chapter that was already second nature (from previous Logic classes I took in UG).

Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark, too dark for me to see
Feels like I'm knocking on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is coming down
Feels like I'm knocking on heaven's door

Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door

Knock, knocking on heaven's door

You just better start sniffing your own rank subjugation Jack
'Cause it's just you against your tattered libido
The bank and the mortician, forever man
And it wouldn't be luck, if you could get out of life alive

Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knocking on heaven's door

Clearly you're referring to me.

1. It's called practical advice. Nobody here is buying a luxury watch.
2. Manual movement is still > automatic, because it's called purism you savage.
3. If you're going to post about how "I'm not coming back until I clear 175" then leave and stop coming in here to surreptitiously shit on people or suck your own dick, it's obnoxious.

I'll still be nice to you RZ.
New poll idea: Which Taylor Swift hairstyle is best? (Since half of you want to be her future husband)
1. Long curly hair
2. Long straight hair
3. Her short straight/wavy hair now

Don't worry, TWD. I appreciated your tips

Created a schedule for how much studying I'm going to be doing every day between now and June 8th. I'm starting to think that I might actually run out of materials by the second week of April. What do people usually do if this happens? I suppose I'd re-review the materials I already have, starting with the oldest ones since I probably will have already forgotten them by the time I use them again.

Testing-wise, my last full PT resulted in a 163. Seems like my RC scores are on a downward trend for some reason. I don't know why this is happening. It's quite frustrating.

But seriously, where's that 175? Or is your tail between your legs?
