#feedback Sometimes you need to fall back on your intuitions. Once you've found your premises and your conclusion, just ask ... what is not addressed in the conclusion. In this one, the conclusion did not include anything about clear and unambiguous beliefs. THAT is what I need to find in the answer key.
From there, it makes sense that there should be a correlation between historical beliefs (which reduce judgement) and clear/unamb beliefs.
I'm trying to avoid trying to chart things out completely. You can't do that in the LSAT. SA is f*ing HARD ... sometimes it helps to just use common sense.
They'll usually throw a bunch of conditionals/trap answers choices that don't do that. In the stimulus they'll try to confuse by instead of giving you A -> B, it's /B -> /A.
FINALLY GETTING THESE! My advice to everyone who got most of the questions in the beginning of this lesson wrong, GO TO SLEEP! Granted, I had LSAT question nightmares all night... somehow those nightmares helped me. I have a much clearer head today and these difficult questions actually don't seem that difficult anymore. Don't overthink. We've got this people.
UGHH. The whole LR lesson I was killing up until SA types. It's just not clicking, whereas with the other question types, identifying the missing link or right answer became very intuitive and obvious. I also feel like PSA were easy for me to build the bridge, but these are much harder despite them being so similar...Please respond with any advice.
YMMV, so take with a grain of salt, but I was struggling a lot with SA questions and I took a break from trying to understand them and focused more on other LR question types/LR foundations as a whole. I just came back to them, and I feel like they finally clicked for me (though I'm still over target time on the harder ones).
These explanation videos are def helpful but I am a little lost on how we are going to get these types of questions right on the exam when it could take a minimum of 2 minutes to write out all this info as JY does....
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
Don't give up. Take a break and jump back into it.
Look at the answer choices. Which one triggers the conclusion? Just like in a sufficient/necessary conditional. Think of the answer choices as the sufficient conditions and the conclusion in the stimulus as the necessary condition. Which answer choice triggers the conclusion.
I hope this helps. Never give up on yourself. Remember "It always seem impossible, until it's done! Good luck & I know you'll be amazing in law school.

I am a SA question hater.

@sarahbalfoul actually!!! i feel like diagraming makes it worse because i pigeonhole myself lol
are all SA questions this hard because holy hell i swear we haven't had a single simple question in this entire module.
The diagram is awesome. But how are we supposed to break this down and answer in 1:46
Whoever wrote this question can morally be gone
real!!!!
I'm really not understanding these sufficient assumption questions lol.
Premise 1: A -> B
Premise 2: C -> D
Conclusion: A -> D
What's missing?
B->C; this is what you need to identify.
They'll usually throw a bunch of conditionals/trap answers choices that don't do that. In the stimulus they'll try to confuse by instead of giving you A -> B, it's /B -> /A.
These questions are quite hard, you can do it.
I like this. Thanks, yo!

I do not know why but I can not get SA questions through my head...

How could you possibly chart this out during a test without running out of time?
my exact thought
When you see you got it right and pray it was a 4 or 5 star problem.
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
Not getting these right and Im so over it
Don't give up. Take a break and jump back into it.
