@J.Y.Ping Small detail, but is it really correct to say that (A) is explicitly stated in the context? The stimulus says that there is a disproportion between text and music, not that there’s a disproportionate amount of music per se, like (A) states. It doesn’t change the question, but I wanted to have that detail right.
so I originally picked answer choice C before diving into the video however, the reason why i chose C is because previously in the foundations module many can be equated to "some" and that also means at least one, which is why I chose c but is that even the right way to solve this question?
In situations where I easily identify the correct answer under the average time, I find it difficult sitting through the videos explaining in detail why the correct answer is, in fact, correct.
Is there a mindset change I should have regarding this issue, or would I be crazy to skip to the next module?
ALMOST picked E as my final answer, then had that aha moment when I recognized the word 'most' and connected it to the previous lessons about 'many' = 'some'.
Very interesting question how the correct answer is intentionally less satisfying than an incorrect one
#feedback Would love drills/practice problems to work on recognizing the different components in the stimulus. I need to get better at recognizing the premises, conclusions, context etc. Are there any in the future?
I think these questions should also be presented in the "You Try Format', which would allow us to give it a go by ourselves before seeing the explanation video.
I'm still confused why the answer wasn't E over C. I know that E is strong because of the word "most" but the stimulus was strong in using the word "many" critics complaining of the disproportion between text and music...... (so on)
Whereas C just feels to weak when using the word "at least" when the stimulus is stating "many" critics complaining of that.
I chose C through the thought process that Most doesn't follow many, and at least one could be included in Many. So I didn't choose it because of the reasoning that I don't know what most other criticisms are, or that I know at least one criticism - I was trying to apply what I know about many and most - is that still an applicable/correct way of thinking here?
I understand that process of elimination is my friend, but it feels like for all these questions I am exclusively using POE. I look at an answer choice and go "no", and then cross it off. Even if, let's say, C is the correct choice on a question I will think "this is a good candidate for the correct answer", but I will still continue on to D and E to make sure they are incorrect. I just want to REALLY make sure I'm right, if that makes sense.
Is this bad? I feel like it wastes a lot of time. Does anyone have any tips for speeding up the process answer selection process?
some videos don'y have playback speed change which means the video is locked on the speed it was last on. Is there a keyboard shortcut to change the speed?
Ah I was left with C and E and for some reason I read criticisms on E as critics so when I read the stimulus I saw many critics and went with E lol. Read slower gah damn it it
C felt like too obvious of the answer for me, trying not to make the oldest mistake is causing new mistakes lol (if anyone is here after MHA manga ended, deku > yuji JJK)

This question is difficult because it makes you want to answer in an assumption way than a main point way...
Is there a way I can try the question out first before he goes in and explains the problem?
if i was able to get the question right is it worth watching the rest of the video?
Is context considered to be premise, or is it a separate individual part of the text?

Does "reasoning" not mean "premises" in this context?
ALMOST picked E as my final answer, then had that aha moment when I recognized the word 'most' and connected it to the previous lessons about 'many' = 'some'.

Low key mad at this question. The LSAT writers will do everything to obfusicate the answer.

many critics = frequent criticism?
How so?
I am lowkey so proud of all of us for even getting this far. We got this!
I'm still confused why the answer wasn't E over C. I know that E is strong because of the word "most" but the stimulus was strong in using the word "many" critics complaining of the disproportion between text and music...... (so on)

Can someone explain this better?

I didn't choose E. Because we learned Most can't equal Many. And Many is more synonymous to Some.
I chose C through the thought process that Most doesn't follow many, and at least one could be included in Many. So I didn't choose it because of the reasoning that I don't know what most other criticisms are, or that I know at least one criticism - I was trying to apply what I know about many and most - is that still an applicable/correct way of thinking here?

should I be concerned I have not gotten a single answer correct???
some videos don'y have playback speed change which means the video is locked on the speed it was last on. Is there a keyboard shortcut to change the speed?
Ah I was left with C and E and for some reason I read criticisms on E as critics so when I read the stimulus I saw many critics and went with E lol. Read slower gah damn it it
I am still a bit confused with the wording of "undeserved"
C felt like too obvious of the answer for me, trying not to make the oldest mistake is causing new mistakes lol (if anyone is here after MHA manga ended, deku > yuji JJK)
so this answer choice essentially used the conclusion as a premise.
