I did some Kaplan classes before 7Sage. I'm having much more success in 7Sage and the videos are a huge part in that for each question. But the one term I really liked from Kaplan, was "mismatched concepts".
I struggled with SA questions more than any other question, in part because I didn't fully understand the P->C Bridge as 7Sage has explained it. But having both of those together has helped me find a lot more success with SA:
Premise 1: B->C
Conclusion: A->C
The common concept is "C", and the MMC (mismatched concepts) are A and B. So I always know that my answers have to have both A and B mentioned (which normally helps eliminate 1 to 3 of the wrong answer choices that don't have both automatically), and then the correct answer is always the P to C bridge, or the premise that guarantees the connection. (A->B)
I don't know if that helps anyone make sense of it, but it took me way too long to properly understand and then apply the mismatched concept term from Kaplan with the P->C methodology from 7Sage, so hopefully it helps someone else struggling with these question types too.
This curriculum was so hard, does anyone one have any chats or discussion room to go through this part of the curriculum, as I am not fully understanding. I am up for group study to combat this section.
That makes me happy to hear. Just letting you know: the upcoming necessary assumption section fucked me up. I either got upset or just didn't comment lol. I don't think there's any helpful comments from me. I pick back up in the argument part and method of reasoning sections 😂
Definitely gonna need to revisit this module was nailing the first half got cooked by the conditional half; the A-->C are easier but the ones where you need to kick things up and parse through to piece together your own premises are tricky.

This module has been so hard for me.
Side note: maybe it’s a sign to review logic/grammar rules.
I agree. I thinking the same thing for myself
got cooked by this section
Worst section ever...or is it?
@PlayaPlaya no literally

easily the hardest part of the curriculum for me
I need to completely redo this section. It is JUST not clicking for me :((
@rattata Same twin
This section started off great and then I lost focus lol I got everything wrong lol
The review section of a module always has the most depressing comments lol
@Bartje whaddya mean?
Tips for Sufficient Assumption Questions [LSAT Logical Reasoning] by Kevin Lin
^This is the only thing that got me to actually grasp the patterns in SA question argument structures and corresponding approaches.
Please take the time to take notes on this video. It will help.
@arieatsoranges This helped so much, thanks!
@arieatsoranges Thank you! This has been a humbling study day, so I'll take all the perspectives I can get.
@arieatsoranges you are a real one. Thank you so much!
@arieatsoranges Thanks for the video! It helped me understand the concepts clearly.

we need videos for these reviews
Here's the quick thumb rule that I am taking away:
Find the gap. Pick the answer that the author MUST believe to cross that gap.
I was told by AI coach to keep pushing despite my lack in conditionals yet here it is again to haunt me.
@Jacq this YT video really helped it click for me:
how do we know when a premise is irrelevant vs when it needs to be connected to the conclusion? #help
...first..? Is this a new section in this module?
Yeah, probably
Colin, I look forward to your comments. Studying is so dreading, but I see you in every comment section, haha.
Maybe they just rewrote it and shelved the old one.
LMAOOO i thought i was the only one !! Colin's comments make my day fr

@ColinErickson lmaooooo
This section was evil
