A whole bunch of babies in this comment section lmfao. Yes, there will be subjectively hard questions. What did you expect, to get a 180 handed to you on a silver platter???
got it right and its level 5!!!!! mapping out the lawgic is soooo helpful. if you know how to properly translate to lawgic, its so easy to get the answer.
i finally understand why E is wrong. i chose it because i passively assumed that wealth is the same thing as acquiring money and, in the context of the lsat, it isn’t. realistically, sacrificing health to acquire money could be getting $100 for a dangerous stunt. not the same thing as wealth.
i have only gotten 3 questions correct in this entire section and this was the one I felt most confident about lol. got it in 3m bc i grouped health + wealth as happiness. u can't have one without the other
This one was pretty easy for me. I kinda had it in my head but then diagrammed it just to be 100% sure.. One should never sacrifice there health for money because no health = no happiness. Therefore you can then say that sacrificing your health is sacrificing your happiness and from there you can piece it together that the only time we should pursue wealth is when it doesn't come at the cost of our happiness absolutely.
im sorry but the explanations on some of these questions make the bridge to the answer choice more confusing. I fear it's not realistic for me to find an inferred mystery premise within the time limit to answer these questions. sometimes I have to watch these videos multiple times and even then I still don't understand.
@VenessaO77 Take your time with untimed drills and really think it through. You won't figure it out under timed conditions if you don't train your brain naturally to quickly piece together the links
Can someone please explain how "One should never sacrifice one's health in order to acquire money" would be "acquire money sacrifices health -> should not acquire money"...? When I first read this, the conditional that I drew up was "in order to acquire money, one should never sacrifice one's health" which would be "acquire money -> /sacrifice one'e health"...
@JW991010 I drew a different conditional. It is simply without health we cannot have happiness. Therefore, the CP of it is that if we have happiness we have health. If we should not sacrifice our health to get money because it will make happiness unobtainable it makes the answer choice more easy to follow. We should only pursue money if it does not make happiness unobtainable. Remember, SA questions guarantee the conclusion - if we choose this answer it makes the conclusion guaranteed
I chose E because I did not confidently identify the conclusion. At this point you think I would because MC/MP is at the core of all the questions that got me this far, but for some reason, I totally neglected to do that here. If you identify that money is part of the conclusion, it is much easier to pick out what must happen for the conclusion to be true.
@SleepyElephant123 I guess we are working on the same topic right now…. My answer would be I was told E means I am thinking and don’t pick a thinking answering ..
Got this in 3:22 when I almost gave up -- do not rush, allow yourself to really think through (they give you the conclusion--the correct answer choice should support the conclusion, much like a premise or principle would)

PTing in the low 170s and I have gotten every single SA question wrong in this section and cannot really understand any of the explanations
A whole bunch of babies in this comment section lmfao. Yes, there will be subjectively hard questions. What did you expect, to get a 180 handed to you on a silver platter???
For some reason this was the easiest 5/5 for me don't know why we had 3 in a row though super cooked
Got this one right in time!! These past 3 have been tough and i don't feel solid in my choices.
I've noticed there is not even one single 2-3 difficulty question in the whole unit so far... makes it really hard to keep going.
honestly fuck you for putting 3 5/5 difficulty questions in a row. This does not help some people grasp the concept.
@epayne17 damn tough crowd
@lsatjasg for real
got it right and its level 5!!!!! mapping out the lawgic is soooo helpful. if you know how to properly translate to lawgic, its so easy to get the answer.
@jrm98 agreed! i was struggling along trying to do it in my head like i usually do, but writing out in lawgic has me like ohhhhhhh okay
i finally understand why E is wrong. i chose it because i passively assumed that wealth is the same thing as acquiring money and, in the context of the lsat, it isn’t. realistically, sacrificing health to acquire money could be getting $100 for a dangerous stunt. not the same thing as wealth.
sneaky assumptions 🤝level 4&5 questions
i fucking hate sufficient assumption
Why are all of these level 5????
how can a one sentence stimulus mess me up lol
I get this question correct intuitively drawing concluding happiness requires health.
OH MY GOD I FINALLY GOT ONE OF THESE RIGHT AND ITS A LVL 5 IM GONNA START CRYIHG
I knew it was A but went with C anyway
i have only gotten 3 questions correct in this entire section and this was the one I felt most confident about lol. got it in 3m bc i grouped health + wealth as happiness. u can't have one without the other
This makes no sense even after the explanation
Second guessed myself smh

Got it....... after 30 minutes..........
These last few are diabolical

@JW991010 I also diagrammed it the way you just did.
Acquire money ---> Never sacrifice health
In my mind, I translated "Never sacrifice health to have Health", so my diagramming would look like:
Acquire money ---> Have health
No health --> No happiness : Contrapositive of this:
Happiness --> Health
My conclusion:
If you want money, you need happiness, and if you need happiness, you must need health.
Acquire money ---> Happiness ---> Health
Option A bridges the gap between acquiring money and happiness because it translates to :
Acquire money --> Happiness obtainable
I chose E because I did not confidently identify the conclusion.

Someone tell me that makes sense!

I cannot read the writing in the video. It makes the video very hard to follow and understand.
