I honestly got so confused and was about to skip it all, but then intuitively understood the bridge that needed to be made, and got the right answer by selecting the one that made that bridge. still have no idea what I did right.
The amount of time I spent on this, I was like "I'm leaving here with something" at the end of the day. I gave up on time and just decided to really understand what the sentences were doing.
would it be right to work bottom up? starting with the conclusion so you know which sides to place the logic translation? because I didn't flip it like he did I was so confused by my own translation.
Hey, so I would appreciate literally any answer, but I thought for SA we do P->C. To be fair, the explanations do make sense to me. However, I barely see the P->C thing going on now. I thought the answer choices should be linked to the conclusion, but it seems like right now we're just filling in the gaps. So I want to know how exactly to approach these questions. Or, when do I know when I can use P->C? Any suggestions and tips are GREATLY appreciated.
@solomonchun lol I'm the opposite. I got it right but now am more confused. For SA I seem to find them intuitive but can't figure out the logic behind it.
@beneley2k reread the stimulus and just insert the right answer choice after the second sentence. It clicked for me as soon as I did that.
It's hard to understand alone because it's stating an assumption that seems so obvious you wouldn't think you'd have to add it but if you read it in that order it'll click.
This section is on the harder side of concepts we've learned but I'm trying to be so positive about all the little (and big) wins--when those happen. Right now, I'm stoked that I really understood the power of "unlikely" in this drill during my analysis and the role it plays in figuring it out. Double guessed myself and picked D first, but it's so great to know that my brain is ACTUALLY getting it. Now, I just need to trust my gut.
I only guessed B because it connected a premise to the conclusion but I really didn't understand what was being asked, really difficult question but after doing so many, have some of the patterns recognized where I can more or less see what the answer choice should look like
Tried hard to trust intuition and move a little faster on this one. B felt correct as soon as I read it, but I kept going and got tricked into D. For some reason B started to feel like it was mixing up conditions. As soon as I got to BR, I realized this is not hard conditional reasoning because of the "likely" aspect, so B is very clearly correct. Need to remember to soften on conditionals when the stim is written in this way.

The instructors handwriting in the explanations videos are pissing me off.
getting them wrong first time but getting BR right. Ngl just been guessing so lets hope bs like this isnt on the LSAT much
this is starting to look like mush
Man, this has become the most difficult lesson yet for me. So confidently wrong every time even taking my time and really trying to figure it out.

the less i think the better i do
@sarahbalfoul actually!!! i feel like diagraming makes it worse because i pigeonhole myself lol
A minute over but got it right! Practice makes perfect guys!!
Took almost 7 min :(
@CONNORHAV1LL sameee
@CONNORHAV1LL fr took me 7.5 minutes over

@BoluwatiwiAlabi I think what you're describing was used in the PSA question types.
When you see you got it right and pray it was a 4 or 5 star problem.
At first I balked at "Inclination decreases as knowledge increases" not being causal.
Seems causal to me ... but, strictly speaking, this is only describing correlation between two things. There is no causal relationship defined here.
Causation would look like this: "An increase in knowledge causes/results in a decrease in inclination"
@Nathan1138 good eye. same thing happened to me but as I reread the stim, it made sense
The diagram is awesome. But how are we supposed to break this down and answer in 1:46
Isolate the conclusion first. Then premises.
C: increased H, less likely MT
P1:
C&U MB-> less likely H as MTP2: increase H -> less likely judge HB
Where are the links and gaps? There is no connection between "C&U MB" and "judge HB" anywhere. Looks like a premise involving those is in order.
Enter answer B.
was easier to answer without diagramming tbh
i got destroyed by this question. but after watching the video, i understand. im so happy i understand. PTL

I'm so lost. This is the first time I've felt like I hit a mental brick wall.

took me 3.5 min but i got it right
I love you J. Y.
Someone needs handwriting lessons ASAP!
+4:52 to get the correct answer but a win is a win
