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.
#feedback. It is very annoying when, every time I pause the video, the words disappear. Sometimes I need to stop the video and read for myself the diagram, and I can't when it's gone....
I start off almost every question panicking because I have no idea what the right answer is or how to find it. Then I think for a few minutes and somehow stumble on the right answer like magic. At some point I need to work on speed, but it's at least motivating to see these questions can be solved. What helps is reading the stem first. I know some people say to always read the stimulus first, but I find it helpful to read the stem and identify the question type first so I'll know what I'll be doing as I read the stimulus. I read it once quickly for content and ideas, then a second time to organize the information into conclusion and premises using the highlighter. I go back and underline important words that might be tricky. I think about what I need the right answer to do based on the question type, then review the choices. A combination of POE and knowing what I want help me get to the right place
There are two sentences in this prompt. To help identify which is the conclusion, you can ask yourself, "why?" Choosing the first sentence as one that contains the conclusion makes sense because then the second one about genuine belief in your abilities helping you achieve success is like context / support for that. But saying "Success is much more easily obtained by those who genuinely believe themselves capable of succeeding than by those filled with self-doubts. Why? Because you should act confident" doesn't make any sense. To help identify conclusions you could revisit the main conclusion module.

i didn't consider confidence as a by product, i thought we were talking about success.
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
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,
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(●'◡'●)？

@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.

@sophielevitt 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.
Staring at this question has a negative causal effect on my self confidence
i literally dialed it down to B and D and chose the wrong answer WHY
Target time 59 seconds is crazy

The quick view feature will give you the question and ACs :)
here's my example
being sexy is an objective
acting like you have big muscles causes you to have big muscles, which causes you to be sexy.
you should be acting like you have big muscles.
YEAHHHHH BABYYYYY take me back to strengthen q's where I belong

I don't understand how we chose "one should at confident" as the conclusion. I am having trouble with these conditional conclusions. Any tips?
There are two sentences in this prompt. To help identify which is the conclusion, you can ask yourself, "why?"
