What this topic is
Evaluating opinions and arguments asks you to separate what an author claims from the reasons offered for it, and to judge how well those reasons hold up.
Typical questions ask which statement would most strengthen or weaken the author's point, which sentence is an opinion rather than a fact, or what assumption an argument depends on. A fact can be checked, such as the date a bridge opened, while an opinion, such as that the bridge is the city's finest, cannot.
In SSAT Upper reading, wrong choices often address the topic in general rather than the specific reasoning the author uses.
Every question is picked for where you are right now, wrong answers come back until they stick, and it all works offline.
