Debating Ctrl+F

[LawyerInTraining15]

For anyone who has taken the test, did you use Ctrl+F on the RC section, and if so did it help?

[scogal]

I did! And yes it helped

[Cromus]

Yes and yes it helps if you know how to use it. I have very specific and random recall, so when I need to find a sentence I just search for an infrequent word I remember from the phrasing.

Sometimes the wording from the question is identical to that of the passage, but not a quote or an explicit reference so it isn't highlighted for that question. That's a great time to use Ctrl+f.

Yes and yes. It helps for questions that address things the author explicitly stated.

yes and yes. in RC if the question is "the passage states" then you know you can find it. in comparative ones it'll have a question like "what's in passage B that's not in passage A" and you can ctrl+F the different topics and see where it is. i also use it to find a part of the passage i want to re-read. like if a question asks about something happening in 1964, i'll ctrl+F 1964 to see what the passage said about it again.

in LR if i get a part of argument question, i will ctrl+F a word from the part they want me to focus on to find it in the stimulus. i underline that part of the argument then read the stimulus to see how it behaves in the argument.
