rule: hard and fast. something triggers some other specific thing, one leads to another.
principle: more general.
I think for our purposes it's to remember that most of the PSA questions will look like rules and what we've done so far. There will be specific conditionals, or logical bridges from our premise to the conclusion that we have to connect.
But, if there is a question where an illustration comes up, it's still PSA, just a more generalized version of that question type. We're looking for a pattern that we can apply broadly.
When reaching theory and approach, summarize the paragraphs in chat gpt. Someone mentioned this in earlier lessons. It’s helped me understand the information /task easily. Just a suggestion.
Don't rely on AI to read for you. . . reading helps overall performance on LSAT, especially RC. Reading the lesson, summarizing in your head, is built-in practice for RC. So, at least, try to understand yourself, before you bring in AI assistance. Further, AI is not as great at summarizing text as it's marketed, it will leave out a lot of nuance, and complex nuance is what makes LR details difficult. Just a suggestion.
I was coming to say this... its good to make it a habit to focus on one thing and be thorough on your understanding of it.... there is no way to avoid it in the supposed profession you are making the effort of going through the hassle of taking the exam...

How to discern the #2 form of principle questions (stimulus: principle) from the PSA application questions?
i get these in my drills and they piss me off ngl
I am like literally 3 days behind and readings at this point feel draining
<3
did not appreciate being forced into role-play while studying for the LSAT. If we're going there, at least call me your Lawyer in Charge ;)
Omg the comments on this lesson have me dying haha.
😍😍😍
Wait, so can anyone spell out what is the difference between rules and principles for our purposes?
@catqing Agreed... still sound the same
@catqing From my understanding--
rule: hard and fast. something triggers some other specific thing, one leads to another.
principle: more general.
