I feel like b was a trap answer for me. I assumed the rest of the context was all the conclusion, but that's not what the argument was saying. The argument is saying, so these critiques you're making? That's too fuzzy bro. The only one that does that is (A). (B) is just a repeat of what critics say. That is just context without the real conclusion, it's half of the real picture. When we take that with the idea of it being too fuzzy, that's the conclusion.
Looking for help in correcting under-confidence errors. I am consistently about to choose the wrong answer and then I overestimate how much the LSAT is tricking me and end up tricking myself. What tips (in addition to more practice) do you have to weed this out?
My first choice was A, then doubted myself as I did not think the correct answer would be the word for word conclusion and ended up choosing D instead.
When we do the drill originally (before the Blind Review), should we be focusing more on time or getting it correct? Averaging about 2 min right now per question, but consistently getting them correct.
Thus far, Main Conclusion questions seem to the most straightforward for me. Using the foundations lessons (indicators, parsing our arguments), I've been able to consistently get right answers. I'm paying close attention to why answers are wrong however, so that when I do come across questions that have 2 answers I feel are potentially correct, I can break them down such that the incorrect one makes itself known. So even tho I'm getting these practice questions correct, im still going through the lesson and explanation.
I have been getting them all right so far, I chose A but was tempted by B, they both seemed great to me but went with my gut. After watching the video I saw that you quickly eliminated B as its not the authors claim but rather the critics... any tips on how I can avoid me from getting stuck on this? I guess just use whatever the author is saying rather then other people?
#feedback The sentences on my drill question was moving back and forth as I was trying to read the stimulus. This made it difficult to read the answer choices
Although I got this question right, I had eliminated B C, and D and had to decide between A and E. Ultimately I understood that A was correct but hoped the lesson would touch more on why E wasn't correct. I resonate with other users that some of the explanations are simply "this is wrong because it is wrong".
I understand the word 'often' plays an important role in distinguishing it as the wrong answer, however, I can see how this would be frustrating for many. Otherwise loving the curriculum!
I was a little confused when he mentioned that answer choice E would be "better" if often was replaced with sometimes but then I remembered the lesson on quantifiers and how we can infer a some relationship from a many/most relationship(going down the quantifier scale) but you cannot infer an often relationship from a many relationship because often implies more than some. I'm not sure if JY specifically talked about "often" as a quantifier but in my brain the quantifier scale goes like this: from smallest to largest
So if an MSS or MBT answer choice includes a quantifier, make sure the quantifier stated in the answer is smaller than the quantifier stated in the stimulus.
#help I got this correct, but I was stuck between A and E. However, I picked A because nothing in the passage is attacking the critic directly, but instead it only says that the idea is fuzzy.
#feedback, I love the form of questions followed by practice to apply what you have learned!

Did we ever find out why the Blind Review isn't accounted for? I first marked E, BR'd, selected A and it's still marked Incorrect.
Anyone else find the instructor's random use of female pronouns distracting?
I knew A was right but, I still read through all the answer choices to be sure. I almost chose B but, I went with my intuition and read again.
It doesn't give me the option to blind review these after. Anyone know why?
got it right initially and wrong on the blind review omg
almost didnt choose A because i thought it was too direct and easy.. but nothing else fit.
My first choice was A, then doubted myself as I did not think the correct answer would be the word for word conclusion and ended up choosing D instead.

Noooo, I originally chose A and changed my answer to E. Should have trusted my gut and initial answer.

Maybe it was mentioned in an earlier video, but is there always a referential phrase in the correct answer choice?
I got confused with both parts being called editorial, the context and the argument.
I thought it was a "trick question".

love the try it first and then video explanation after format
