Can someone explain to me again this "f you encounter a conditional conclusion, kick the sufficient conditions up into the premises." why do we kick up sufficient condition into the premise?
Are you all memorizing these different types of questions? Or is it moreso important to get down the concepts in order to understand and accurately answer the question?
I made a physical flashcard set with the question stem on the front, and the type of question on the back to help me recognize the question types better, but I also have been memorizing the basic rules and what you're supposed to look for while answering certain question types.
I make flashcards for the question types, and how to tackle them (like good to diagram these type of questions, anchor yourself to the stimulus, etc. Tips that he gives in the videos). I also have a note book where I take write down the question type, how the question stem typically is or how to identify the question type if the question stem does not give me a hint. My flashcards are for memorization, but I grab my notebook on my untimed drills to make sure I understand from the concept how to tackle them and try to stick to the steps as close as I can. It truly does work. Plus the flash cards you could review anywhere.
I figure I'll go back to all these question type intros/conclusions after I finish the whole LR section and see if I need to add additional notes to the cheat sheet
Does someone have a "hack" or simple explanation on how to do these SA questions? Even with these lessons I struggle to find an overall explanation on how to do them.
I will repeat what someone already said. TOO MANY ACRONYMS... makes reading and understanding a pain in the ass. Please stop using so many acronyms if we don't have a quick accessible way of knowing what they mean. TY!
It would be helpful to have hyperlinks or a quick dictionary on the side for all these acronyms. I know they have been defined in previous lessons, but it's tough to keep up with all of them. #feedback
I don't think there generally is a rule about the number of different types of questions required to be in each section. There's definitely been previous exams where there were multiple necessary assumption questions in a row and then a sufficient assumption question right after to throw you off and confuse the question stem. But I could definitely be wrong for the newer tests!

Typo in the last paragraph: “think of them as PSA question“

@AliGoldberg I think it's because the sufficient condition is another fact to get to the conclusion, so we consider it another "premise."
no video?
too many acronyms and now I don't remember any. just gonna answer based off vibes
@DaisyVidana relatable lol!!
bro we got much more coming when we go to law school lol, might as well start practicing to remember stuff.
i'm scared

I'm memorizing too. After a while I'm hoping identifying question type is more muscle memory and less active time thinking about what I'm looking for
This reference sheet that started off the LR unit might be helpful: https://7sage.com/lessons/logical-reasoning/introduction-to-logical-reasoning/logical-reasoning-cheat-sheet

I found a great explanation on YouTube from Kevin Lin.
thank you!
Thank you!

FRRRRRR OMGGGGGGGG
Which lesson mentions 'TY' questions?
I thought I was the only one who was confused by this- Agreed!
This is kind of ironic
I was saying TY. As in thank you 😆

Agreed

How many Sufficient Assumption and Necessary Assumption questions are there on the LSAT?
#help#feedback
Yes.
