I'm realizing how that i actually am pretty decent at solving the problems but my issue is i keep rushing bc im worried about time!! during BR when i intentionally take the time to carefully read through each Q i can pick the right answer 9/10 ugh i need to slow down
@ElianaC Yeah it tries to make you assume that because earlier discussions thought global warming would cause something that they then did not consider any other factors. Maybe they did consider other factors and still decided global warming would cause something. We don’t know what all went into the full analysis, only the result of it. Tricky
I was reading this question think it was a MSS question, I had to rethink the way I was thinking after reading the question stem one more time and ended up picking the right answer 😩
So I thought this was still a type of MSS. Therefore, I picked D, because it was exactly what the premise stated. Now based on the video I undertsand I was supposed to draw directly from the conclusion and match that to the answer choices. However, had this been a question that clearly stated which choice MSS, would D have been correct? Also, how would I know going forward that this "most accruately expresses" is not the same as as "most strongly supports/supported by" type of question?
"most accruately expresses" - this tells us to basically regurgitate the conclusion (or reasoning, depending on what the question is asking for, could be "the reasoning most accurately expresses___ or the conclusion/hypothesis most accurately expresses___"). Remember that the answer choice won't always be ideal.
read the stim, find the conclusion, hunt for the answer
"most strongly supports/supported by" questions - tell us to look at the answer choices and see what is supported by the stimulus. The correct answer choice will have a statement that is much more likely to be true after reading the stimulus. All other answer choices are unsupported. They're not more or less likely to be true.
I was between E and D and ultimately chose D because of the wording in the stimulus (unlikely, are likely) and question E said that Global warming "will not" (aka certain to not) produce...
@MRod I got the question wrong for that exact same reason. The word "probably" makes e more accurate than D. D is saying that the wind flow "will" (certainly, 100%, is going to happen) negate the effect even though the stimulus says that it is "likely". Logically both answers seem right, but when I broke it down like that I was able to see why D is wrong.
My issue was that i was essentially reading everything as essentially context especially with what the recent research was saying. and the other factors
I almost fell for it! I even picked answer choice B first. Then I had an epiphany. The fact that other factors contribute to tropical storm development apart from global warming is not a conclusion, it is a premise! A premise presented as evidence used to challenge the prediction. But the conclusion is that the prediction is wrong.

i chose B then D... ugh
Can someone please help me understand how "will not" is the same is "unlikely"?
@Arkavian it says probably will not
i think my biggest mistake is I stop reading options when I see an option that sounds even remotely right
got it right and on time, these MC questions getting easier and easier!

B almost got me…
@danjpeach96 Same but the explanation video clarifies it really well

Wrong section?

read the stim & eliminate wrong answer choices
@GabrielLerma Thank you!
@JuliannaCalder ofc! I hope this helped
I'm annoyed I got this wrong but got it on the BR. I chose B before finishing reading the full answer. Bleh
got during the BR, really leaning into BR. First going based on speed versus BR having time to break it down and not rely on first pass.
sneaky sneaky!
I feel like I’m going backwards
@AndreCarter SAME !!!
Couldn't you also say that B is wrong because it is summarizing a premise
I found the author's opinion and still picked the wrong AC. SMH
@Mina.G Same. B is tricky.
i definitely misread the question lol
Oh my god, I didn't even realize this was a main conclusion question! I was like, "How is that incorrect!?" 🤦♀️
damn, got this one wrong, I chose D. Very tricky!
I literally got this one wrong because I thought it was still MSS. Gotta slow down and make sure to read the question stem.
@EdithM Same!! I picked B then D! Ugh. Great learning lesson though!
@iammichaelscott I did the same :(
I didn't see this was a main conclusion question and was answering as if it was a MSS question. I need sleep.
@epayne17 same here thought my mind was playing tricks on me because i didn't read question stem
I was between E and D and ultimately chose D because of the wording in the stimulus (unlikely, are likely) and question E said that Global warming "will not" (aka certain to not) produce...
@MRod I got the question wrong for that exact same reason. The word "probably" makes e more accurate than D.

Logically both answers seem right, but when I broke it down like that I was able to see why D is wrong.
What helped me with this question was examining the indicator word "unlikely" in the stimulus. That is what sealed the deal for me between E and D.
The stimulus, "this prediction is unlikely to be borne out", is the same as saying, "I am more than 50% sure that the prediction is wrong".
Answer choice E then states a rephrasing of that sentence, "probably will not". More likely than not.
My issue was that i was essentially reading everything as essentially context especially with what the recent research was saying. and the other factors

LSAT I am learning your dirty tricks!
Fell for it!! Got it in the BR though😮💨
