In this episode, we break down the Jack Westin daily CARS passage “Sibling Relationships” (Feb 11) sentence-by-sentence to train you how to:
Identify key ideas in each sentence and paragraph
Track repeating themes across short paragraphs
Lock in the main idea (without bringing in your own opinions)
Build a clean passage map you can use on test day
Avoid the #1 trap: letting your personal experience change your answers
We also unpack the passage’s biggest throughline: how sibling competition, family roles, and birth order connect to personality traits (first-born vs last-born vs middle child), plus terms like de-identification and finding a “niche” in the family environment.
✅ Try the passage before you listen (recommended): pause here, attempt it, then come back and follow along with the walkthrough.
