Hey
So I was going the through the week 1 material and we use the math strategy on two things either on words or on ideas. But I wanted to know how do you identify whether we use it on words or ideas? Sometimes in the practice questions I have interchanged their usage and arrived at the wrong answer.
Honestly to me Idea seems more natural as the marker words are negating the idea and then i come to possibilities where that particular idea is being contrast by which word , because if i just focus on word at the start , I feel waste time and do not get the essence

Ya that does seem like a possible way to use. Thanks for the advice!
Use it on ideas because the test has more that one contrasting word.
eg1
I hate pizza, its disgusting
Using math strategy on the words hate and disgusting works
HOWEVER
eg2
I hate pizza, its not healthy
Using math strategy on the words hate and healthy doesn’t work
This is why its important to look at the sentence paragraph.
Thanks, have started doing that and doing much better now
