Hi guys,
My hit rate for the CR on OG13 was around 60%, and all the questions I got wrong was because they were out of scope/irrelevant. How do I determine if something is out of scope? It's really been bothering me. I always narrow it down to 2 answer choices, the correct one and the out of scope one. For some reason I choose the out of scope.

Hey, I thought out-of scope choice are the most easiest one to eliminate in CR. just read the answer choice and find any word that is not in the argument. Most of these out of scope choice are too intimidating but actually they refer to something not mentioned in argument. If argument is about effect of some scientific phenomenon than out of scope choice will refer to about why scientist think that phenomenon is important, how many scientist are researching on same topic....etc Just put that option in argument and read once. If it feels that the argument is moving away from what it was discussing than its out of scope.

Hi pillah, be careful because "out of scope" can mean different things on different problems. If I ask you to draw a conclusion from some premises, then you definitely don't want anything too unrelated. But if I ask you to weaken an argument, the correct answer might be a SURPRISE or NEW INFORMATION. It's not out of scope unless it's completely unrelated to the argument - true "out of scope" answer choices are not all that common.
Maybe it would help if you could give us a specific example of a problem where you had this experience?
