Hi friends, I'm consistently doing really great on these skill builder exercises, but when it comes to actual practice questions, I am either getting the answers wrong or am taking an absurd amount of time to get the correct answer. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve my actual PT scores with this information in mind without it bogging down my timing and how to translate these skills into the actual test questions? #plshelp
I solved Q5 the way he did it in the beginning, he said it was accurate. But gave another example to do it, which to me is a bit more complicated. Should I stick to how I make sense of it? Can I keep doing it like that?
Now we are left with "it should be provided by an organization whose primary purpose is the promotion of health." What is the rule of this sentence? I read it as "if something is to be provided, it should be from an OPPPH.
So in conclusion,
Domain: Things necessary for human health
Rule: If provided -> Should be from an organization whose primary purpose is the promotion of health.
No one freak out. I think this is more of a mind exercise. It overcomplicates things when it's really about grasping the main subjects of the necessary and sufficient conditionals without extra noise. Question five in particular is a little silly. It would be a lot more helpful with real LSAT questions, since question five is relatively easy to grasp without kicking it up to the domain.
I didn't make the connection for q5. The way I read the statement, I thought it was saying that, if you are an org whose primary purpose is the promotion of health, you should be providing the "something necessary" vs not providing it, not necessarily making a judgement on other organizations. Am I thinking about it totally wrong? I feel like introducing the domain in this example completely changes the argument.
Q5 for me felt like my brain was getting scrambled. I thought I understood the statement and that it was straight forward, then by the end of the explanation I was like, did I actually understand this? Do I even understand it now? How can I practice contrapositive extrapolation to the point where it just automatically happens in my mind without spending 20 minutes analyzing a question, which, by the end of it all, I might not even understand better than if I just went with my intuition? This feels rather discouraging lol
Lawgic (or what i call diagraming) seemed super intimidating to me before these excercises!!! I'm at least somewhat confident enough to begin answering questions using these methods now :)
After what has been taught so far, is it necessary to kick something up into the domain? Can one continue to gather the sufficient and necessary conditions as they were and negate them to still get the same results

I'm getting cooked. What happened??

If we can still see the conditional relationship, I don't understand why we even have to tease out the domain. I don't understand the purpose

This seems like how you would train AI on the LSAT, not humans lol.
What. Is. Going. On. Here. Everything I learned so far is in question after trying this set.
For #3, I had recognized "does not" as the conditional indicator, so originally, my Lawgic translation was:
emotional connection --> succeed
After watching the video, I realize that the "no" in "no sales technique" was identified as the conditional indicator.
My question is: should I always defer to the first conditional indicator in a sentence?
I originally translated the phrase into
NHH -> SPOPPPH
And then I kicked up NHH up to the domain
Domain: NHH
Now we are left with "it should be provided by an organization whose primary purpose is the promotion of health." What is the rule of this sentence? I read it as "if something is to be provided, it should be from an OPPPH.
So in conclusion,
Domain: Things necessary for human health
Rule: If provided -> Should be from an organization whose primary purpose is the promotion of health.
the mere idea of rearranging the words for it to make better sense is blowing my mind. this is really algebraic.
Is anyone applying for this cycle fall 2026, or are yall waiting for 2027.

For Q5, is it okay to say: “should be provided-> org + primary purpose” ?
Years of my life have been lost :(
I realized that doing college and studying for this is a lot harder than I estimated it to be...
I am getting them all right, I think. My diagrams look slightly different, but to me seem the same. I am not sure if I am wrong in my answers.
ex:
Q.3.
succeed -> emotional connect-prod sold
/emotional connect-prod sold -> /succeed
answer provided:
success → emotional-connection
/emotional-connection → /success
Q.4.
accu info and considerable interest -> good journalism
answer provided:
acc-info-sub-int → good
acc-info AND sub-int → good

holy shmoly
On question 5, you write "an organization who." Organizations are not people, and should not be referred to using personal pronouns.
On question 1, your explanation uses the indicator "unless," but "without" was the indicator used in the sentence. Please fix.
I really don't understand this concept at all.
