Nope.

Take an official mock test.
Didn't face this in the Official one

Does it depend on the score or just plain bad luck?

Hi Everyone

Please resolve a query

In my last two full mocks in Experts Global, I've received two MSR sets each time. This is totally screwing up my time management and taking down my scores significantly

Has there been some change in the format recently? Is this the new norm?
A few people have reported getting multiple MSRs in the actual exam as well, so it’s best to be prepared for the worst-case scenario.

To be honest 2 MSRs are quite common. I got 2 in my official test, so my advice would be to prepare accordingly and pace yourself evenly

Hi CR experts/fellow test takers,

Why (A) is not a solution here. IF negated - elected officials don’t always enact policies by their parties - which would mean the Gov will not endorse the party view always and so won’t endorse foreign aid and so won’t surely raise taxes.

Please ignore the screenshot

The question is as follows:
Since governor Wilson is a member of the Liberal Party which endorses higher aid to other countries for social programs, he will surely raise taxes.

The argument above depends on which of the following Assumptions ?

A.) Elected Officials always enact policies endorsed by their parties.

B.) Unlike the conservatives, the liberals spend more on foreign aid.

C.) The only way to increase foreign aid for social programs is to raise taxes.

D.) The liberal party has a majority in the legislature.

E.) An increase in foreign aid always leads to an increase in taxes.

Want to understand why not A.

My assessment of the question is that the fact in the question is that
1. The governor will endorse higher aid as a member of Liberal Party

Conclusion is - Therefore he will raise taxes

Option A weakens/ assumed a fact which is already given in the stem while the objective in an assumption question is to link the conclusion
This clarified my doubt. Thanks

Correct answer is C in my opinion

Argument talks about the Wilson who is governor and a member of liberal party. Ok what's now? Liberty party endorses higher aid to other countries for social programs. Fine we got info about Wilson and liberal party

Author concludes we will surely raise taxes. Ok but why? Is there any connection b/w higher aid and tax raise. Since the question asked about assumption. So in what scenario tax will not be raised. If the the aid can be provided without having any relation with Tax right.

Option A official always enact policies endorsed by their parties. Yes so what it doesnt talk about how the tax will be raised. Whereas option C says the only way to increase aid is to raise tax. If we negate C - then raising tax is not the only way to increase aid and hence conclusion falls apart by saying that Wilson will not surely raise taxes.

E is a trap here.

Hope this helps
