I,ve been bombing these , but not because i didnt undersatnd the stimulus , my diagrams have been on point. my mistake has been focusing to much on interpreting the stim in an MSS kind of way that is concerned with the macro idea of the stim instead of applying the MSS tools strictly to the bridge or gap of the argument. This was the first question where i realized that mistake.
@ChristopherSpencer You may not have gotten the questions right, but your realisation is a major win. Take time to reflect on your realisation and use that to make better judgements in the future when evaluating ACs. I mean it. It took me months before I realised what you realised!
Not sure why the question stem threw me off "strengthen?" is this an SA or MSS? Idk why i was looking for missing link. B makes perfect since to strengthen
This question feels intentional for the LSAT journey lol my confidence ebbs and flows on the daily based off the skill-building. At any rate, got it right and within time so we're still in the game!
Don't you hate when you work through the problem and arrive at the correct answer, but then you talk yourself out of it by overthinking and then selecting the wrong answer...that was me. I knew it was B, however I settled on E by overthinking.
@Susie hello, I used to print and make notes on paper then scanned them. Those are my "wrong answer journal". But now, I just take notes directly either through MS Word, OneNote or Notability. :)
@Susie Also, if you want to enhance your WAJ, you can also write why you chose the wrong AC, and so when you look back at your journal before studying, you can actively try to avoid the same mistakes you made before -- just putting in my two cents!
@tiramistudy That would be super useful!! It's so nice of you to suggest that, and I'm appreciate it a lot! Have a nice day and hope you can pass lsat as soon as possible!
@WilliamZiebellRichards SAME! I'm debating on going back to re do some of these lessons, but I already feel behind in my studying so not sure what to do.
are there any lessons that directly just go over abstracting arguments/common patterns to recognize? i know various questions are analyzed this way and some patterns are mentioned in the valid formal logic inferences section but i'd love to just straight see all of the most common argument forms alltogether in a list.

A strengthen question? In this economy?
but i'm feelin' 6/22
nice start to the day but one of the easier 4s i felt moreso because the rest of the choices felt very wrong
screaming. crying. throwing up. why was this so hard for me. i need my brain to werkkkkkkkkkk
ayy 23 seconds
Very surprised this was a 4 level difficulty. Thought they threw us a softball randomly

me noticing a strengthen stem in the SA module
LMAO I diagrammed and it was not even that serios LOLOLOL wow.
i didn't consider confidence as a by product, i thought we were talking about success.

@Tswizzle25 i took it as an MSS
fake it till you make it
Wow did lawgic on paper instead of trying to do it in my head and it was easy to see
POE is a game changer at this point,
@IslamUmarov lmao yes
@IslamUmarov Literally.
Overthought the hell out of this one between B and D and ended up with D as a result :(
Late night studying after a full day of work but happy to get this right

YESSSS I got it

Yay.
@hannahhuynh would you mind telling me how you can make a draft on the web(●'◡'●)？
@Susie hello, I used to print and make notes on paper then scanned them. Those are my "wrong answer journal". But now, I just take notes directly either through MS Word, OneNote or Notability. :)
@hannahhuynh ohh thank you very much! I've never thought about "wrong answer journal" before. You reminded me!! have a great day!

1st question i got right in this unit in like 6 or 7(no pun intended) questions
@aviemann Same I have really been struggling!!
@WilliamZiebellRichards SAME! I'm debating on going back to re do some of these lessons, but I already feel behind in my studying so not sure what to do.

@sxphs well I hope you looked at the next lesson after this
Got this one correct, life is worth living again
I really liked the start of this video. Found it very informative and easy to follow. More explanations like this please!

I CANNOT GET A SINGLE ONE OF THESE RIGHT.
does this mean that SA questions are a subset of strengthen?
@AlizaGGG honestly that's where I was. I moved on and came back later and it really helped.
