@saulgoodman13 yeah me too, my problem is D more accurately blocks an alternative explanation, which is the ONLY strategy they have given us for this to this point. All C does is restate the hypothesis. I'm really not sure how that strengthens anything
guys I got this one right first try, there's hope lol. Don't sweat the snoring question previously, that's only one kind of strengthen question you could encounter potentially on the LSAT. Just keep going!!
This is an example of a question that blatantly restates the hypothesis again. I am interested to see what tricks the next questions have up their sleeves
This seems like a very weird way to go about strengthening an argument. I feel like it depends too heavily on the test taker thinking of the right alternative hypothesis to discredit so that they can identify the corresponding piece of evidence that contradicts it. Why not cut to the chase and ask yourself which answer choice makes the conclusion more likely to be more, similar to an MSS question?
This strategy seems like a strange roundabout way to answer the question.
Why spend extra time coming up with alternate hypothesis in order to find an answer that 'dispels' the alternate hypothesis? This is forcing a square peg into a round hole.
Instead of simply looking for 'what makes X more likely', we're being told to imagine 'Not X' and then find 'what makes not X less likely'. Why? #feedback
I feel like reading the explanations for why the other answer choices are wrong are so convoluted and confusing compared to how people see them, I just think that its confusing me more

Was so proud of getting this correct after reading it over and over, and then I see it's difficulty level ONE...
same LOLLLLL
@emann100 fr, I way overthought this one
@emann100 literally started doing a happy dance and then stopped abruptly
how in the world is this a fucking one-star difficulty
ain't no way this was a "super easy" question LOL
I hate it when I'm happy to get one right and then realize it's the easiest difficulty. :/
Don't be discouraged, at least you're getting them right! Any improvement is improvement.
i got this right with a few seconds to spare, but it felt MUCH more strenuous than a level 1
@yes-coconuts Yeah I hate the level 1's that have a lot of reading, makes it feel so much harder.
fried my brain over a level 1 difficulty question. Nice!
@mitch.s Had to google wtf curtailed meant LMAO
My ego was inflated from the last section. Alas, the LSAT finds new ways to crush my soul...
When you finally get a question right in the WSE module
is the easiest level of difficulty x_x
MEEP MOOP MOP
GOTTEN EVERY SINGLE QUESTION THIS SECTION WRONG IM GOING TO SLEEP
I was finally starting to gain some confidence with the LSAT material and then I started strengthening questions...(humbled me real quick)
I am the king of 1-star questions - Yale law don't be late to our interview.
@SwagOD LOL
I got it right but then I saw it was a level 1 question *sobs*
bruh I am actually the 1% that choose D. brutal lmao
@saulgoodman13 yeah me too, my problem is D more accurately blocks an alternative explanation, which is the ONLY strategy they have given us for this to this point. All C does is restate the hypothesis. I'm really not sure how that strengthens anything
@epayne17 my exact reasoning for picking D
i am losing hope with how bad i am with both weakening and strengthening questions man
@mzughaerr did you get better?
so I got this right, but that was in no way a level 1 question
guys I got this one right first try, there's hope lol. Don't sweat the snoring question previously, that's only one kind of strengthen question you could encounter potentially on the LSAT. Just keep going!!
I don't see the purpose of trying to figuring out an alternative hypothesis. Especially since we have such time constraints.

it is a level 1 and i failed miserably. thanks
small victories matter y'all
bruh this wasn't a super difficult one but easiest difficulty?! Cmon now 7sage
Was also shocked by that and especially after seeing the time target of 1:10. Figured it was a 2 or 3 at least.

I agree with you, I got this question right but my timing wasn't the best tbh and timing is key to the LSAT.
I feel like reading the explanations for why the other answer choices are wrong are so convoluted and confusing compared to how people see them, I just think that its confusing me more
LET'S GOOOOO! Finally got it right on the first try! C for the win BABY!
hahahaha
And yes, I know it's the lowest level of hard but pls just let me have this!
