These questions make no sense to me. How is the answer B? I feel like in past lessons we were told not to pick answers like these because we don’t know if the cities financial predicament would have been resolved or not if the city didn’t invest in the computer modeling technology. I feel like we learned that other factors may have caused the financial predicament being resolved even if the city didn’t invest. Am I just being dumb? I feel like the passage didn’t say anything about that.
im 3/3 so far on this chapter and under time on all which is hype.
but i am not writing anything nor using all the steps shown in the lessons, im kind of just going based off intuiton and mapping everything in my head.
Normally I have not been writing down work. With problems like these, I have to. Is that a bad habit to start? Stupid question... but can you write anywhere on the test?
With this question, I got caught up in translating the claims using Group 4 indicators (like "not") which threw me off. How did you know to instead interpret the claim using "if"?
YESSIR 0:56 seconds. Man I would be so stuck on this type of question if I didn't go through the Lawgic modules. That has really helped, even just mentally, the difference between sufficient and necessary items.
The way I have been answering these questions and getting them right is not by using lawgic or writing things down. Is that ok for the LSAT? Or am I setting myself up for failure?
Man somehow I thought the word "resultant" was referring to WHY the rush hour traffic flow increased, not the result of increasing the capacity of the bridge. Smh!
:( i had all the logic written down correctly, but i didn't choose B because i thought that answer choice was saying the terms in the wrong order. saying like if necessary then sufficient.
for me as an old folk student that joined the work force instead of going right into law school from gradschool, this question made me so annoyed to read through. In the work place i wouldve just wrtitten a big question mark on it and handed it back to whatever schlemiel wrote it and told them to rewrite it.
I got it right, but it took me a good min. Tbf I skipped over the LSAT Fundamentals and went straight to LR. Imma go over the fundamentals tomorrow and next week and then revisit LR. I think it will help me a lot with timing, lmk what you guys think because there is a good chance you are smarter than I.
man! I got it right in BR again, idk why I am always confused between two answer choice and always pick the wrng one! ughhh C, D and E - easily eliminated
honestly, the stimulus was just so difficult for me to understand. I only got this question correct by a very shaky POE.
A - doesn't mention anything about being able to choose the software package
C - 2nd sentence states that this all took place last year. comparing anything to the current year is invalid
D - "highest" is too extreme of a modifier.
E - we do not know of the mayor's intentions
Again, i did not use lawgic because i genuinely didn't even understand the stim. but based on certain key words, you're able to eliminate most of the answer choices!
Would it be possible to include a blank screenshot of the question along with the video example so that we can attempt it ourselves first/follow along by screenshotting and marking up?
am i the only one that sometimes accidentally translates counterfactual claims using group 4 indicators? like sometimes i see a sentence with a bunch of no, nones, nots, and i get confused and end up translating things wrong. any tips on avoiding this?

i need to stick with my first answers lol
So happy that I diagrammed this just like him after entering this question telling myself I needed to refresh my knowledge on conditionals!

hope it wont ruin me in the future.

I got it right, but it takes me so long, because I do not trust myself enough to not do POE

I missed the NOT before CMT :( but then got it right in BR once I realized lol

I'M GETTING THE HANG OF IT!!!! Turns out the fundamental curriculum really does help!!

Im with everyone else, I got it but figuring out that roadmap took a while.
jesus that was a tough read, managed to get it via process of elimination but my mapping skills under time was not on lock
It was easy to understand when I mapped it out but that process put me way over the allotted time
