Phase 1 (your first ~400 questions): read the guidance, then answer. No clock.

Step 1 · Pre-Question Guidance · read this first

Question type
Main Point
The one idea it tests
The main point joins the scholar's thesis (an important body of work is neglected) with the reason (specialists stay in their lanes).
The basic logic
Notice that every paragraph circles one gap and its cause. The first gives the thesis and the first group's blind spot, the second gives the other group's blind spot, the last explains and sums up. The right answer names both the importance and the cause of neglect.
Tiny words that decide it
  • “however”
  • “because”
  • “yet”

Playground logic

Aunt Rosa's booklet and the author both say the same thing: the coded notebooks matter, and they go unread because code crackers and history fans each stay in their own corner.

Your answer

How to apply it

Open Question 7 in your official copy and answer it first.

Write a one-line summary of each paragraph's role, then ask what single claim ties them together. Check that your sentence includes both what is neglected and why. Choose the answer that holds both pieces, and drop answers that rank one kind of work over another, focus on one detail, or add a history the passage never gives.
