Omg!!! I just made a comment on one of the last videos like he is not clarifying things for me! He’s only confusing me on these long explanation videos. I have different annotations and a different way of processing. I get the answer right and then I get confused on how I got there after watching. I’m so happy, I’m not alone!!
I don't think so. I also find that sometimes lawgic complicates things more for me that just doing it on my own in my head so I'd suggest just doing whatever you find easier!
same, all the technical lawgic stuff in the past few lessons have been confusing me more even though it made sense in the core cirriculum, so i've been trying to solve the past few intuitively by talking it out and it's been working
Not yet, but there will be more complicated questions where it becomes very hard to do these without lawgic. You can do them without, but it gets very difficult if you don't map it all out.
It took me longer than it should've because I second-guessed myself, but I got it right lol.
In the last lesson, J.Y. said, "At some point (towards the end of the road), you're going to look at the stimulus and know how to map out the conditional logic in your head and immediately go hunting. It's about timing; progressively, it should be something that's thought about. You're trading confidence for time, or in other words, you're tolerating risk to gain time. To better facilitate your ability to do that, your fundamentals in logic need to be strong"
This question further proved this point to me. For others who feel the same way as I do, continue going through the curriculum until you're at a good point to start doing consistent PTs and drills!
I hope that helps someone, as it has just helped me! 🙂
While it may not true for all answer choices, this is how I approached this question based on its stimulus.
Considering the two rules for overall success: Economicsuccess & individual protection.
I knew that the correct answer choice was going to begin with an if-then clause, based on economic success, because one portion of the conjunction was covered (individual protection).
On harder questions the writers may do away with the basic "If-then" formula, but seeking the other rule is still relevant.
I would still recommend watching at least the explanation as to why it's correct. Just to make sure you're understanding WHY you chose the right answer
I always watch the videos even when I am confident in my answer because I want to break down the processes that got me there so I can apply them to difficult questions
More drilling brother. Im about 2 months in aiming for the June test. Remember you have the blind review so fire away. You will become so familiar you won't even look at the timer. Trust the process!
#help is it bad if i am not finding the right answers like the video says to do? I am getting the right answer but just kind of thinking it through in terms different than domain, etc. idk if this makes sense but will this hurt me down the line?
I don't think so! As long as the method you're using is consistent and also helps you figure out why the wrong answers are wrong (and is not time-consuming), then that should be fine.
I think keeping domain in the back of your mind is important, like a quick check (ok the domain here is political administrators and not universities) just in case the question tried to trip you up by putting the question in a different domain. But I just used the logical method that worked the best for me.
For instance, I find that I actually prefer translating everything into embedded conditionals or conjunctives. That's my first choice, and then sometimes the rules/exception framework can help/be more efficient at times. And then the domain ones I rarely use. If you think about it, they all accomplish the same thing, so I think it's more about knowing you have a toolbox of different methods and finding the ones that make the most sense to you and which take the least amount of strain/time.

I get these right, watch the videos, and become more confused lol.
this is why i skip them ngl he confuses me :'(
LITERALLY!! 😭

I can't believe I fell for that. Got it in BR. 🤦♀️
dang it! I fell for A lol
I miss all the attitude JY used to have towards wrong answer choices in the v1 curriculum
I thought I was the only one
Any recommendations for videos in V1 that might be helpful with LR and RC?
Read this way to fast smh
I did it in my head without logic because I don't understand lawgic. Is this bad?
I don't think so. I also find that sometimes lawgic complicates things more for me that just doing it on my own in my head so I'd suggest just doing whatever you find easier!

I agree
It’s hard to rely on visual concepts because it takes more time to write it down. I hope I can get faster at this by just picturing it in my head
My logic was:
If admin is ES + PL then admin = OS.
Since admin protects liberties, it follows that if they also are economically successful, then they are an overall success, so answer choice C.
My exact thought process as well
i did what he literally did in the last lesson and chose A.. my confidence level is in the ground right now lol
same here lol
You can do it!!!! I believe in you, and I promise it gets easier with practice
Got it right upon BR
Ugh this one got me!!! I was almost there... and then fell kinda for the trap of answer B
Same. I picked B because thought C wasn't mentioned in the stimulus, so how could it fall under "must be true”.
OMG, I got it correct! There's hope!!
Conditional logic is the bane of my existence. I’m so bad at it.
It took me longer than it should've because I second-guessed myself, but I got it right lol.

i was confused between A and C. Got it right in BR. My god, i am struggling.
You’ve got this! We all do
took me twice the time but i got it right
Nuts, ~2:30 over, but I got it down. Just gotta hone these skills before working on time

It took me 8 minutes to get this into lawgic and then i got it right. So I still have some ways to go
@GloriaOnwugamba It took me 8 mins as well. LOL. I got it right too.
Welp, I fell for the trap. I went into hunt mode and saw A and clicked submit. Should have looked at the other answers as well.
Massive L but we bounce back
damn
ugh I second guessed myself. it was between b and c and I chose b both times not listening to my gut
Do you guys watch the videos even though you are confident in your answer and you got it right or should I just not waste my time?
yeah I still do because sometimes I am still confused about my answer
I would still recommend watching at least the explanation as to why it's correct. Just to make sure you're understanding WHY you chose the right answer
If there was any hesitation then I do, if not I move on.
I always watch the videos even when I am confident in my answer because I want to break down the processes that got me there so I can apply them to difficult questions
I got it right, I wish i could translate faster so i could hit the target time.
