Ok, just saw one of Brent's comments on another post that the guide tries to focus on building concepts first.

Time measurement on Improvement Chart?
Hi, I am a recent beginner of the 60-day study guide. Just before I began to do my first OG question, I was curious to know if the study guide also emphasizes on measuring the time for every question. As I see it, neither the email mentions it nor does the Improvement chart suggest any role of time ...

Any issues with SC Aristotle?
Hi guys, I referred to Aristotle for SC and ingrained all its rules, one of which suggests avoiding the 'ing' tense as much as possible, unless there is a definite continuing action. After doing questions from elsewhere, such as the OG and the ones posted in the forum here, I see the 'ing' form of t...

Agree, but shouldn't the event that occurred first, take the 'had'. Here the claim having been made a realty happened second. Although, I did go with A myself because it just sounded right, I am looking for clarity on the rule. Thx Hi rakeshd347, This SC is based on the same rule as your other SC fr...

Hi Sana, The correct answer should be E. The first filter I choose is the choice between 'instead of' and 'rather than'. 'Instead of' is used more as a preposition so it helps to connect phrases/clauses to nouns. (e.g. I will go to the room instead of the balcony). 'Rather than' is used more as a co...

Well, in general, there can always be points u can raise unless there clearly is nothing you can question. Here, there could be a third region, midstream, which the author might have skipped. The crop downstream could be replaced by a new crop which does not need as much water. Not sure when these o...

Good job Matt! Its a great question!
Matt@VeritasPrep wrote:Hey, I wrote this one! (Though it isn't an original idea)
Vipul, the answer isn't 51, as 51 is a factor of 50! (3 * 17 is part of 50!, so 50! divides by 51.)

Hi Testluv, thanks for that helpful response. Just one question here. The OA is that the argument is strong. However, cant the fact that the author uses just one example to say that altering the environment is 'very' common, serve to weaken the argument? Thanks. Hi Vineet, The last sentence of the p...

Is this argument (#2) strong or weak?
If relativity theory is correct, no object can travel forward in time at a speed greater than the speed of light. Yet quantum mechanics predicts that the tachyon, a hypothetical subatomic particle travels faster than light. Thus, if relativity theory is correct either quantum mechanics' prediction a...

Is this argument strong or weak?
Is the following argument strong or weak? This is from the PowerScore CR Bible and I am not convinced with the OA. Please help.

Hi Sana, thanks. Sorry I had meant I do understand the concept of order in P&C but could not relate it to this question since I was thinking of it in the literal 'order' sense when its actually an interior exterior swap. But I realised what you meant when Brent explained. Thanks again Hi Sana, b...

just looking at the figure how can you say that long side is twice the short side. the figure is not always drawn to scale. it could be any value 1) 2 into 18 2) 3 into 12 3) 4 into 9 i must say that the real question is missing something. If the question does not say that the figure is not drawn t...
Hi Sana, before Brent answers that question, I'd like to understand for my own self, what you mean by order of colors here.
sana.noor wrote:Brent, what if we add a restriction in this question that says that "Order of colors isnt important" than is the answer 45?
