It would be helpful to have more LSAT questions sprinkled through these lessons just like this. I know that may be coming later, but I think it could speed up understanding how the concepts apply to the test so we can focus more on drilling actual questions.
Is there a way to pull up questions by type, so we can drill ourselves on what we are currently learning?
@oldguy Agreed! I actually think it would be especially nice to have them in the skill builders. I crush those, but once I'm faced with diagraming an actual LSAT stimulus I'm totally lost.
this made me feel like a genius lol. I just ignored everything but the lawgic and got it right and under the recommended time (im ALWAYS over). yay!!!!!!!!!!!!
I initially got it wrong, but then got it right on the BR. It makes perfect sense, I just didn't read it because I thought A was right, but it's not because A gets the first clause with the second, in my opinion.
@RosaVelez Me too! I read answer choice D about 5 or 6 times because the double negative just feels so hard to wrap my head around! They make it look so easy in the vid!! AHHH
A little embarrassed I fell into the trap so easily after spending so much time talking about the traps. I think I didn't understand just how tempting that they were when written out in English, rather than how obviously wrong they were in the lessons. Won't make the same mistake again, I hope!
Got this correct, but had a "how to study" type of question -- Is it bad if I got the answer correct, but didn't catch how the negates "all" fits into B, but just intuitively got to the "some" conclusion?
Also, in every single LSAT question - is it recommended that you read through all of the answer choices before selecting the answer? For this one, I read until C and it was a no brainer that B was the correct answer, so I submitted it first and then went through all of the answer choices in the blind review. Wondering when taking the actual LSAT if that's bad practice.
@smileeugenie First off your intuition served you well in inferring the negated all if not overtly clocking how it was working. In this question there wasn't another answer choice that preyed on an imprecise understanding of that translation, but some questions will absolutely catch you out on little things like that. That is why diligent study of language is important for conditional logic questions in particular and for the test broadly.
Secondly, it can be right to move on once you found the answer. The test is so tightly paced that moving on once you've found the answer can help you save time. This is best for questions that are easy to predict the answer for though. However, I always flag questions where I skip some answers so that I can come back if I have time at the end. Like I mentioned before it can be easy to be imprecise with language when you are going fast, or there could be a better answer further down.
got it wrong first take. tbh i didnt diagram anything. then i did blind review and actually wrote it out and realized how obvious it was. i hate to admit it but it helped and got it right after reading out my conclusion LOL.
DANNGGG they got me with this one, i def had in my head that the clean up and the fair happened at the same time.. got it right on BR though so better than nothing!

I got this right on a drill before taking this course. after taking the lessons I got it wrong and took more time

@oldguy We're adding more! If you want similar questions, you can filter for MBT and Quantifier.

I was between A and B. I realized that the way B was written didn't make sense at first. The "Not All" confused me
How can i have my overall study plan include more of these types of questions that incorporate actual LSAT questions?
as someone who struggled a lot with the skill builders it was VERY reassuring to get this correct and help me no longer feel like a lost cause.
@EmilyEckenroth right!! I can literally feel the hard work paying off from those skill builders
commenting to come back to when I am feeling like I can't do this... first one I got right and felt confident on ! It is possible!
@MeganHek Awesome!
I get all the practice questions right but I'm a couple minutes over each time
wauw......i got it right! normally i suck at must be true/assumption questions so this feels amazing.
I got it right but took forever. Will drilling/more practice be the main thing that improves speed?
@Nico_DLC It took me 8:43 (491% over). I'm right there with you.
I initially got it wrong, but then got it right on the BR. It makes perfect sense, I just didn't read it because I thought A was right, but it's not because A gets the first clause with the second, in my opinion.
@jaydenca OMG same, but at first I thought B was correct, then I second guess myself but then I tripled guess myself and picked B LOL
Got it right but as usual it took way too much time
@Jarry Took me double the suggested time, so you're not alone!
I got it wrong both times :(
The double negatives are still kicking my butt but excited that drawing them out is helping.
@RosaVelez Me too! I read answer choice D about 5 or 6 times because the double negative just feels so hard to wrap my head around! They make it look so easy in the vid!! AHHH
yay Thank God
FIRST TRY IN LIKE 10 SECONDS WOOOOOO
this question is so hard, got it right first try, but it took me five minutes. lol
solved right away what must be true in my head, but when i write it out in Lawgic I get confused , still need more practice i guess

This one really challenged me.
solved this in my head and i got the correct answer with time to spare, which tells me that this module has really helped
