Highlights

We drilled Role, Parallel Flaw, and Supported questions in Logical Reasoning. Nathan emphasized that the easiest way to answer LR questions is to actually understand the arguments. He discouraged the use of gimmicky strategies and shortcuts. Next, we read a level-5 passage about the use of brain scans as pictures of mental activity and reviewed the toughest questions. Finally, we tackled a simple grouping logic game. Nathan demonstrated how baking rules into your solution allows you to forget about them.
