Hey, big fan of this discussion and the curriculum more broadly. This question confused me far more than expected- I believe it is a result of a significant gap in my current understanding. I am well aware of the fact that, as you have repeated, the ability to answer a question correctly is not dependent upon mastery of any particular subject matter....Nonethless, this question is so confusing! Could you please provide an example of a "food bark"? Perferably vocally, as I have come to associate this voice with LSAT grind, and believe it would be so beneficial to my grasp
I wish the video made it more obvious which answer choice is correct after the explanation 😭 The instructor sometimes circles an answer and then later crosses it out or changes it, so this is already the second time I've mistakenly assumed the wrong answer was the correct one
@Nwim I think the biggest indicator would be the stem. RRE questions will often ask you to resolve the apparent discrepancy. This means that the stimulus seemingly contradicts itself, and you have to select the correct AC which untangles the contradiction. With weaken questions, however, you are looking for an AC that disproves the conclusion. I hope that is helpful
people complain every chance they get, the lesson approach was a valid and helpful transition into weaken questions, nicely done. you need a positive mindset to do good
Man, this lesson needs reworking. 100% agree that the constant flipping between RRE and Weaken is confusing for no reason ... also really don't see the value in providing A as an answer, changing the stim to include it, and then actually getting to the question.
I feel these questions are trying to find flaws in the support, like the game Jenga. We are trying to find the loose block to take it out and weaken the tower.
For those that are confused, I understand. But I think the main point of the video was to display the differences in question types, how to identify question types, and how to approach specific question types. Hang in there guys.
I generally really find the videos helpful, however - at 1:10 - 2:39, switching out the question stem from a weakening question to the RRE stem way more confusing for someone who studies by copying notes by hand.
Not having the final sentence of the stimulus was an awkward choice.

FOOD GOOD

When taking the exam, How do I know if i'm answering a RRE question or a Weaken question? I'm struggling to understand the difference

Sounds like Jocko went bananas...
Am I an idiot? What’s the answer?!!!!
@AndreCarter B
It weakens the argument.
I dont get it
So would D STRENGHTHEN?
the constant switching between RRE and the actual question was very confusing... it might be nice to adjust this in the new gen of videos! :)

i would give jocko many bananas
changing this Q to an RRE format just made it way more confusing IMO
This explanation is beyond confusing.
soooo confused...

So when you weaken your attack the assumption correct? or the line of reasoning to the conclusion?
The Inception of 7Sage LSAT lessons
