Does anyone else sometiems feel llike they dont see all the questions until they retake or do blind review? D is so clearly the answer but i dont remember seeing it before i went back to review.
Am I the only one who thought that fabricating in question D meant creating fake versions of microchips. With that definition in mind i felt like the passage didn't say anything about making fake chips so i just guessed.
I was down to C and D and chose C because I felt like D simply restated the conclusion.. like how is that an inference? After the explanation, I know why I was wrong though
#feedback "Causation v. Conditional" link is not working. I presume this video would be quite important to understand why JY applied double arrows of Lawgic in this stimulus. I've gone through all fundamentals available but cannot comprehend this piece.
Adding the part about the biconditional arrows only serves to confuse We can already see from the stimulus that the transistors are what cause the doubling, and it's already specified that each such doubling (which is the doubling in speed caused by the doubling in the number of tansistors) from a smaller subset of time doubles the cost. I would rather not get confused about causation and keep rules consistent.
I’ve done all of V1 LR section with JY before coming onto v2 just for practice. I notice JY is much nicer at explaining these questions compared to his V1 aggressive judgmental attitude towards wrong answer choices. Change of heart?
Sometimes when i try to draw an inference I guess I get confused with answers that are saying something about the future that's what led me to choose E like I felt E was taking the info from the stimulus and was inferring that, I get confused in what questions are we allow to infer #help
I assumed C was wrong because it also says "for the last several decades", when the prompt doesn't actually indicate the current year/decade. A bit silly but I think this article could technically be written from the perspective of 2060 or something, so "the last several decades" may not be appropriate in relative terms.
I seem to be doing just fine with every other LR section, but MBT do not compute in my brain. I can't seem to get them right - I always seem to be struggling to figure out the implied assumptions. Does anyone have any tips?
Are we just suppose to assume that the "mid 90s into the next decade" is a subset of "several decades." If so, how is that a reasonable assumption when there are many decades outside of the 1900's and 2000's. #feedback
This one is weird to me even though I chose the correct answer. This answer is a restatement of a premise. We have been told to not choose answers that restate a premise. #feedback.
I instinctively knew D was right but idk why I ended up choosing E. I am going to explain why E is not correct, so that I don't make a similar mistake in the future. E is making a prediction about the future that may or may not happen. We do not have any strong, supporting claims to make it a valid conclusion. The whole "it is unlikely that they will ever be"part just sounds too strong, and I should have been skeptical of it instantly.
I really need help with Lawgic. Does anyone have any suggestions? I take the LSAT in October and can't get a handle on it. I can't even identify the statements to apply it to.

I got this one right and under time..yay.

got it right! 30 seconds over but regardless ... interesting how im doing better on these latter questions than the first, a good sign lol
i cant believe i was cooking on the first few questions in this module and now i'm getting all of them wrong lmao
Would C be right if they asked for a hypothesis
I was down to C and D and chose C because I felt like D simply restated the conclusion.. like how is that an inference? After the explanation, I know why I was wrong though
How was anyone affording a computer from 1995 to 2005 lol????
not me getting the answer right but the blind review question wrong...am i happy about it?

Couldn't we have also used a causal chain going from 2x #t to 2x speed?

I always pick the right answer the first time and then get it wrong on the blind review. Does anyone have advice on how to approach this problem?

Good thing I didn't understand what B said otherwise I might've picked it

#feedback #help Where can I find the causation v conditional lesson? The link is broken

What helped me the most is eliminating answer choices with strong language,
like choices A,C, and E that included indicators words: 'only', 'unlikely', and 'any attempt' even before answering the question.
This left me to digest the stimulus and then pick between B and D.
D follows logically because it explains the doubling of numbers and transistors during the same period simultaneously.
I hope this helps!
What helped me with this question was all the wrong AC were either too extreme or had info that never appeared in the stim
