I was mastering all types of questions till now. Sa and na questions have totally wrecked my mind and my brain. before getting to them I got right most questions in between lessons and drills. With these I'm totally confused. I will have to certainly comeback later when practice weeks start to focus on these.
Maybe it's just me, but I succeeded on these fairly easily by just assuming the weirdest most out of place answer was likely the right answer if I couldn't figure out the assumption right away. LEEEEEEEEROY JEEEENNNKIIINS
The SA/PSA, and NA curriculum is really where 7sage and JY Ping shine. It's a smart, thoughtful progression that helps unify earlier concepts and revealed some weaknesses I didn't notice previously. This review is a good example of what they do well. Don't skip it or skim it. Think CAREFULLY about each of the paragraphs in this review lesson. It's gold!
I think the final paragraph sums up the down and dirty of it all better than all the previous statements on these questions before. It helped me understand these questions in a much better way. Highly recommend
Hello! Could someone please break down the potential assumption that could arise from a argument with a cost-benefit analysis reasoning structure?
Would it be that if the author presents X and Y in the premises, then a certain con of let's say, Y, in the premises and proceeds to a prescriptive conclusion of 'one should do X instead' -- the assumption there is that there could be benefits of X that don't outweigh the costs of Y? And so the author just assumed the cost/benefit of a certain option X over Y?
Or is it - let's say we're comparing the cost/benefit of washing hands with hand sanitizer vs soap. The author states in their premises that on the basis of price, washing hands with soap is cheaper than hand sanitizer. Then proceeds to conclude that then, washing hands with soap is the more effective option. Would the assumption there be that the author didn't consider all the costs/benefits of using soap vs hand sanitizer and cannot just conclude which one is better on the basis of price?
Or am I just complicating this and creating new assumptions in my examples lol
continuing to assert that the write answer can be the same as if it were an SA question does NOT HELP when you've already told us these cases are in the minority. Stop it. It only confuses people into thinking they can go through these questions in the same way they do SA.
@epayne17 one wrong question in an LR set can be a make or break between a 179 and a 180 - i would argue even minority questions are important to review. if you are not aiming for a perfect score thats totally ok, but don't put down learning technique even when its for minority questions when others are trying to perfect every type, even when rare. they've also made it very clear that SA and NA CANNOT be approached the same way.

POV: googling how many NA questions are on the LSAT....
@PresLeeHix 25% lol
@RyanAlexander
These are proving to be my Achilles heel so far. Oooof
Looks like I'm going to have to depend on negation to answer these NA questions.
.
me too man
@emilyandrews33 Yup

Is anyone else liking NA questions more than SA?
@daisylul me, I find it simpler

NA is like blackwater all over again...

Yes exactly!! You got it!
