Can someone explain PT 72, Section 4, Question 23 to me? I really don't understand why the correct answer is better than one of the other options.

SECONDED - Did this PT this weekend and the last LG just frightened me.

I think the correct answer for this one was correct because it's the only one that wouldn't result in an employee being unable to transfer their item to another employee without breaking any of the conditions.

[+] Spoiler

Cause if i'm remembering right they can only be transferred
M->J
J -> K/L
K -> L/M
L -> K/M
and you have to account for all of the employees working on an item.

Bless. You.

Made it through to all the questions on a PT for the first time. Small victory. Didn't do as well as I did on my previous test which is my best score so far though; I did pretty badly on one LR section and the RC. Especially concerning because I thought I did especially well on the last RC passage and actually performed horrendously. wtf.

[proteinshake]

just finished up PT 69. not sure how to feel. first LR was ehh, RC wasn't bad, feel pretty good about second LR, and went -1 on LG. the curve was -10 on this though so hopefully I didn't bomb any sections . gonna BR it tomorrow.

edit: according to 7Sage, first LR was easier than the second, I should probably spend more time warming up!

Is this q23 in lr or lg? The section number 4 can be different for different people.

The choices in LG are always provable so there should not be a notion of "better" answer for LG.

oh, my b, I was looking at the 5 section version. I'm talking about LR, so I guess 3rd section.

I think the key to this one is the specific wording of the first clause of the second sentence (in particular, "every" on the object - every B / every one of the SA)

Need to up the LR drilling. LR's cost me 3 - 5 points on each of the last 5 PTs. Need to get that down to 0-1. Got a bunch more sets printed out, and might go back to question type drilling.

your section 3 could be either lr1 or lr2. For lr2, what's the issue with this q?
It seems C is clearly correct.

I have now twice gotten it incorrect by putting A, after first circling C.

Note that the premise in A has major movie as opposed to no qualification of the important role in the conclusion.

Here ya go: "I bought this watch on a whim and I'm very pleased with its performance. I had the Perfect Score Watch (v1, I believe) and I wasn't impressed with the method of resetting the watch. Over time, the dial became harder to use and it was difficult to get it reset exactly to zero. When the mastermind watch first came, it wasn't calibrated correctly, but that was an easy enough fix. I got it in black (would probably recommend white. Seems like it would be easier to read, though I may just be used to the Perfect Score Watch). The only thing I don't like about it is that it has two separate dials, so to speak. The large hand counts the minutes on the outer edge of the watch while another, smaller hand counts seconds in a second circle, much like where you might find the date or month on some watches. Compared to the Perfect Score Watch, I think this is a drawback, since the minute hand does not move continuously or fluidly, but rather jumps to the next minute after 60 seconds have passed. It is also fairly expensive for a watch, but I have plenty of people in my undergrad program I could sell it to after the test is over. Overall, I think the benefits greatly outweigh those issues."

If you have any questions, let me know. I'm really liking the watch!

I'm still struggling on this one. So, A is like "so and so never gets X. This year, all of its things got Y. So, none of Y were X."

A would be correct if it had major movie instead of movie in the conclusion.

A is more like this: so and so never gets X in "major" Z. This year, all of its things got X. So none of these things were in Z.

Great- thanks for the review!

That fourth game on prep test C is weirdly uncomfortable. Like, I got through it and beat the JY time on first try without missing anything... but I kept feeling like... you're reversing the logic here... an interesting but kind of weird game.

Are there any other LGs you've come across with a similar format to this one? Even the 7sage review mentioned the rarity of this LG-type.

[Alexandros]

Can anyone help me with 75.3.13? Still confused.

eta: I think I got it, but not totally satisfied : "In the interest of the economy" gives a different explanation for why the teaching assistants perform services for the university. So the sole purpose is not to enable them to fund their education.

That game reminded me of the bike game on 64.

First time poster, but question for you all...

How are you scheduling out your final PTs? I have not touched 71-78 for the reason I don't want to burn through them too far out from the test date.
