Level 4 difficulty in the Cambridge books is sometimes strange. I can read and understand the argument, pre-phrase an answer, but the answer choices available just don't make any sense.crazyrobin wrote:This is a complaint. I have negated the shit out of N/A Qs from PT 1-20, all level 4 difficulty. WTF? What's is wrong with the bizarre wordings????

Yeah, I'll do something like that. So here's how I look at LR:Fianna13 wrote:hey DD, do you mind posting some quick thoughts of how you approach each kind of LR questions? like 1 sentence or so of what do you look for or what goes through your mind after you read the stimulus and the questions stem?
I have only ever seen RC sorted by subject. Definitely interested in the response to this.griffin.811 wrote:Anyone know if there is a list of RC passages by difficulty?
Actually yes. I have RC bundle by type and it is sorted by difficulty. I don't know if I can screenshot here. Is it distribution of copyright materials?rebexness wrote:I have only ever seen RC sorted by subject.

One thought on DD's interpretation.Daily_Double wrote:
Assumption - these questions revolve around a gap, which is to say, there's at least one reason why the core might not necessarily follow from the supporting premises. I try to identify the gap, then come up with an answer, usually I just come up with one and move to the answers, sometimes it's right, usually it's not, but I'm working on that. Anyways, wrong answers for these questions will reverse the logic, or not address the core, although sometimes you do see premise boosters/premise weakeners as correct answers, this is rare though, you just have to eliminate as many as possible on your first pass. There are additional things to look for in these such as a correlation supporting causation, causation in general, conditionality in general, and formal logic.
Inference - these questions require you to use the information provided to you in the stimulus to select an answer which must follow from that information. Scope is your biggest obstacle in these, you have to possess a very narrow sense of scope, cut down the wrong answers, diagram if you must, and remember the information is in the stimulus, and the correct answer will always follow from it. I'll diagram conditional and formal logic, the rest I usually just work from my notations in the stimulus.
Structure - these questions require you to understand the abstract nature of the argument and pay attention to subtle shifts in terms, degree, division, etc. and select an answer which either conforms to the information in the stimulus or to describe it in an abstract fashion. I usually diagram matching questions, argument part questions are usually pretty straightforward.

That's right. The last page ranks the difficulty.rebexness wrote:Just looked at mine again and they ARE sorted by difficulty within the subject types.
