LR Tutoring with Sage Josh
https://media.giphy.com/media/qKltgF7Aw515K/giphy.gif
So what will be going down in these meetings and what do you need to do to prepare?
These classes are a live, Sage guided forum to help address whatever it is you're studying within LR. We'll use older tests to work through questions, discuss question types, break down argument structures, and analyze answer choices. We'll also talk general LR strategy and pacing. To prepare, just use whatever portion of the week's homework that is relevant to your current studies.
This week's homework: PT 35 Logical Reasoning
LR Tutoring with Sage Josh - PT 35
Monday, August 21, 7:30 PM EDT
Please join my meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone.

PT 35 is as far as I'm taking it, but will restart. Taking the next few weeks off as I prepare for the Sept Test and will restart probably first week of October.
That's exactly what I was hoping for :) Awesome-ness
I would say good luck with your Sept take, but I can honestly say I don't think I've ever known anyone as ready to humiliate this test as you are right now!

Hey @jhaldy10325 are these sessions going to continue past PT35 or will they restart eventually at PT1?

Today @ 7:30 EST.
Hey, had a follow up question in PM that I thought was a really great question, so wanted to post my reply here as well for anyone who may be interested.
From PT 33.1.22. https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-33-section-1-question-22/
Answer choice B is attempting to exploit what I more broadly call the problem of knowledge (Knowledge is just a common incarnation of a much larger set of words that logically abstract the subject.) Here, it's "want" rather than "know" but the principle is always the same and frequently interchangeable.
So an argument that would express the flaw B is talking about would look something like this:
Congleton hired really terrible artists.
The hiring of really terrible artists would ensure the project would fail.
Therefore Congleton wanted the project to fail.
Do you see how "want" is problematic here? What if Congleton is just really incompetent? We know in this argument that Congleton took action which will result in the failure of the project, but how can we draw a conclusion about their motives? We see this a lot and we can use this example to plug in a lot of different applications: knowledge, belief, expectation, etc:
Therefore Congleton knew the project would fail
Therefore Congleton believed the project would fail
Therefore Congleton expected the project to fail.
Answer choice B (assumes Fail ---> Congleton wanted it to fail) bridges the gap between the consequences of the actual argument and what Congleton wanted, thus accounting for the abstraction.
So any time you see one of these words pop up, be aware of the nature of the abstraction. I can almost promise you the writers will be exploiting it.
Having some issues launching gotomeeting, but on the way!
Well, something came up and I have an important errand to run tonight. Caved and did 33 by myself with great results, will be glad to join next week though!
That's correct @nishanik15535 . We may not get to everything, but will try to hit the highlights from both.
I assume it would be both sections of LR from the PT since there was no specific section stated.. is that correct?

Hi There! Really interested in joining in today, how do I participate? I have the PT section done.
@jhaldy10325 Thank you!
Hey guys, I just updated the title and body of the post to hopefully make it more immediately clear to everyone exactly what this is and what they need to do beforehand. For all the regulars out there, it will be the same format as before, so just keep doing what you've been doing. See you guys tomorrow!

Sorry! just trying to understand. Do we complete an old full practice test timed, lets say PT31, and then we go over the answers together, like a blind review?
The PT they will be going over is listed on the first post. In this case, PT31.

Thanks!
Do you do the full PT ahead of time?
You can do it as a full timed PT, but you can also use this PT as a drill and ask questions only about the questions you did.

Hey, what's the focus for Monday's session? Will we be reviewing LR from PT 30? If so, which section will you be focusing on? Are there specific questions we should review for the 17th?
