I still struggle with these types of questions, even when I map it out I can never seem to get it even after watching the video of him explaining it. I feel so defeated after this
I feel like im trying to read too deep into the answer choices and dont pick up on whats so straight foward and easy. Like my brain knows the LSAT is evil and doesnt want to believe the answer could be so easy so I try and make a complicated answer work and choose wrong.
Is anyone else confused around the 5 minute mark about JY's notes? Specifically when he mentions taking the contrapositive of social circumstances? I did that myself on my scratch paper while working the problem out, however I wish JY could've thoroughly explained or physically drawn the way that the contrapositive builds the bridge we are looking for. Specifically confused about the /UTMsmith part of the conclusion.
I got this one right initially, however in blind review I changed my answer to D.
I thought D was more right because it directly applied the missing assumption to her theory.
Would D have been correct if it had said Smith's theory about the relation of social circumstances to the understanding of meaning lacks insight (into her own social circumstances).
Was that extra blurb at the end all that was missing?
Noooo omg B seemed too obvious to be right </3 I didn't choose B because I thought it was already implied. I'm not denying that it's correct, just trying to figure out my thought process for future questions that are similar. If we know she's not aware of the true meaning, wouldn't that automatically imply AC (B) since it's just the contrapositive? If someone understands please explain.
This one did not make me barf, is that a good thing? I cannot tell anymore, this section might ask, "If you cannot barf then why would it not be a good thing?"
I've gotten nearly all of these right and I honestly have no idea why. I can't actually explain what I'm thinking it just feels like the answer choice I pick makes the most sense to me given the context.
Does anyone have an approach they're using that they can explain/frame for me? I want to understand!
i had it right the first time but the Blind review automation made me doubt my answer i need to put me first and not do blind reviews unless i get the answer flat out wrong and know that first :,

Finding the conclusion and trusting your decision on these PSA questions seem to be hitting me kind of hard. It really eats into your time
wrote it out like how he does in the videos and man that is effective

Finally! I got one!
If I'm getting it down to a 50/50 most of the time, should I be stoked or terrified?
If you are struggling on this question, please note the conclusion. How it draws back to reality and points to Smith.
bro these PSA are going to be the death of me. I felt so good about studying then hit this question type and im getting everything wrong

So hype I got this right
This seems more like a level 4 or 5 difficulty because of its structure.

I got this right but was unable to determine why the other answer choices are wrong

If only all the SA questions could be related to PSAa questions.
Even though it took me five plus minutes to parse through the stimulus, I was able to confidently find the correct answer.
I diagrammed this out and found the correct answer without POE but it took way too long.
Got one right (finally), but saying this is 3-star difficulty is bonkers.

That's it - I'm moving on to the next question type. I'll return to this section when I've been properly sedated.
in my opinion this 3 star is harder than the last 5 star question
this section makes me wanna d!e
i havent gotten any of these right and the explanations barely make any sense to me.
