This made sense, I just had to catch myself wanting to make the most common mistake on the LSAT! I wrote younger than 40, which is NOT the negation of 40!
If you're not quite grasping the lesson, I would say do all four groups, then come back to this first one and apply your knowledge. I struggled on a few of these when I first encountered them, but after writing a cheat sheet on a notecard and coming back to them, I clearly see where I was confused before.
5/5 :D I think I was overcomplicating things when I was doing the lessons, but the application helps me see that it's not so difficult! Maybe I'll eat my words later haha
Since the LSAT is digital now, I believe we cannot draw this on a separate piece of paper while taking an exam. Then, where do we write Lawgic while taking the digital LSAT?
Is the ‘if’ in question 2 being treated like an ‘if and only if?’ If not, then the contrapositive doesn’t follow, and if so how does the phrasing indicate the iff?

Doe matter which side I put each idea being related? Because it looks like I mix them up quite often compared to the answers.
The lesson on negation versus opposition was really helpful here.
4/5. Got mixed up on Q3
5/5!
5/5, we got this!! It's all just formula!
Premises don't have to be true to have a valid arguement. It was good to be able to recall that on 4!
I needed this burned into my brain: if x, then y.
If X -> Then Y
X -> Y
If he were over 40 (X), then Amar would not want to learn to ski /(Y).
The contrapositive is if not Y, then not X.
/Y -> /X
If amar would NOT not want to learn to ski (if he would want to learn to ski), then he is NOT over 40.
Caution: This is not the same as "only if."
4/5
for question 3, is the "and" not converted into an "or" when flipped and reversed?
Can we translate the #5 this way
PerP—>Tree-es
/Tree -es ->/ PerP
Anyone else notice that Question 4 has a misspelling of Independent in the answer or have I just been a paralegal for too long..
How is #5 a conditional statement
5/5

4/5, 5 kind of tripped me up
3/5 its easier when its postive for sure
What does the parentheses mean in some of these answer choices?

Number 5 doesn't feel conditional can someone explain why it would be in more clear terms?
typo in answer for question 4

I did the last three wrong. I thought if sufficient, it belongs on the right side... it's kind of confusing.

5/5 yay!:)
