Core concepts

Concept 1

and

Exam cue: Split a compound statement into clauses and test each separately.

or

Concept 3

multi-clause statement

Concept 4

partial contradiction

Risk pitfalls and guardrails

Marking the whole statement True because one clause is supported.

Guardrail: Do not copy official questions, invent a fixed test length or weighting, replace passage evidence with outside knowledge, treat unsupported as False, infer score from difficulty or rely on returning to an earlier item.

Calling a statement False when one clause is supported and another is merely unknown.

Guardrail: Do not copy official questions, invent a fixed test length or weighting, replace passage evidence with outside knowledge, treat unsupported as False, infer score from difficulty or rely on returning to an earlier item.

Memory anchors

Split then classify

Test each clause before recombining.

And needs both

Every joined clause must be established for True.

One conflict defeats and

A contradicted clause makes an and-statement False.

Unknown is not conflict

Supported plus unknown is not automatically False.

Connector controls logic

And, or, unless and either change the whole claim.

Checkpoint rule

Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
