Anchor yourself to the stimulus. Don't use your knowledge but use the claims to help support your thought process behind the correct answer choice. If you have to fill in too many holes chances are the answer is not valid.
My mind is naturally lazy and tries to make sense of these stimuli by "filling in the blanks" with experience.
Really...this feels like training the mind's executive control to not take the shortcuts - to see something as it is not what one's mind finds it easy to see.
Yeah I definitely think the long explanations are not working in their favor, I think just practicing and videos are definitely what works for me I am slowly getting better but just drilling and trying to learn new techniques.
#feedback . With so many bad reviews on this section, why hasn't it been rewritten? Students are paying good money for this service, are giving GOOD feedback, and nothing is being done about it...
#feedback I would say this lesson needs a video, and maybe, a rewrite. It's sad that I understood the lesson, by another student commenting, and broke it down for us.
#feedback The last paragraph first sentence - "consistent with" should be "merely consistent with". Although I prefer video lessons like most other comments here pointed out, I don't mind reading to get the knowledge I need. But please make it correct so students can easily follow along. When you give a specific name in order to refer back later, it's hard to digest if the reference later recalls the wrong name....
#feedback I share the same sentiment as everyone else in the comments who dislike the texts. If you guys won't make videos, can you at least incorporate an AI software that reads these texts for us? It would be more engaging for me
#feedback, did whoever write this section actually read it afterwards?
It is overly complicated, and contributes absolutely nothing. In fact, I'd even say that a section like this does more damage than good. Students waste too much time getting tripped up by overly wordy sections and it takes time away from meaningful studying. They also are left feeling discouraged because they don't understand, when in reality in this case it is the "teacher's" fault.
Multiple paragraphs simply to say "the right answer will have the most support from the passage"
$69 per month and no videos throughout some of the most relevant topics? It is hard to recommend this course to someone when videos only exist for 1/3 of the course. :(
Is it possible to bring video lessons back into the text only sections?
As someone that struggles with ADHD, these lessons take me much longer to comprehend because I have to reread the same sentences multiple times. But when I can follow along to a video, I can play the video at a speed that stimulates my attention, and I'm able to capture any critical information I may have missed reading the text, enabling me to work through the lessons more efficiently.
Hi all! Does anyone have any wrong answer journals or LSAT checklist templates for curriculum V2 (for those taking the LSAT after June 2024)? I would love to keep track of my answer choices and progress and I just started the logical reasoning section. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
This is the one I was previously using, but no longer works since I switched to V2: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gpOWHerIw8RBo1PbgIJtN9wIpIKpTl3SFClYzaEBsIo/edit#gid=0
#feedback It's frustrating to encounter so many subject-verb agreement issues throughout this curriculum (e.g., "Wheat does not depend entirely on their root system..."). I keep skipping over them, not mentioning them, in the belief that they're typos, perhaps, but the frequency with which I encounter them leads me to believe that many passages, explanations, and the like simply have not been vetted by proper grammarians. I don't recall this happening as much in V1, so maybe there's a transitional aspect to it all. Hopefully some editors can go through this current iteration with a practiced eye.

Since this lesson also made everyone else in the comments feel dumb I will add this sentence towards the end:
"Sometimes, you'll smuggle in an assumption and chose the wrong answer because the assumption (that you smuggled in) supports it."
It took me 10 minutes and then a google search to convince myself that "choose" is still a word and that I did not make it up.
Yeah I definitely think the long explanations are not working in their favor, I think just practicing and videos are definitely what works for me I am slowly getting better but just drilling and trying to learn new techniques.
my brain hurts and I just started studying... this lesson needs to be re-written or needs a video to better explain.

7Sage, do better.
Why not in video form?

I wish this was in video form as I am a visual and verbal learner D:

I don't understand anything I read. Can someone break this down better please?

I wish there were videos to this. I enjoy reading everything but my brain skips stuff when it gets bored and i end up not understanding:

I think that: "Then place each answer on the spectrum based how much support it's deriving from the stimulus."
should be: "Then place each answer on the spectrum based on how much support it's deriving from the stimulus."
