@ThomasMunnia What I tend to do is ask myself, "why" when I find a conclusion.
Why should the bill be enacted? Because there's toxic levels in fish. Because continuing to permit fishing in Eagle Bay could thus have grave effects on public health.
Yeah, that's why the bill should be enacted. That makes sense!

Now, that ain't right...
There will be trickier stimuluses than this one with convoluted language and full of referential wording, but it's just practicing. There's also early modules in the core curriculum that talks about this. That's my two cents. I hope this helps!
how are my fellow LSAT takers in Jan 2026? how do you feel about it thus far?
Personally, I'm not sure the time I have now and December will be enough to prepare for test day. I may wait till Nov 28 (last day to register for Jan) before I decide to register
I registered for June and August 2025 but have had to move them or withdraw from them . It's gonna be an unwanted one year waiting period for me now, so I really want to take it in Jan (sigh)
@bcn I am in a similar boat. Started studying a month ago (taking the January LSAT). It has been tough to balance studying with work, but we just have to lock in. Don't think so much about the score, just think about having a concrete understanding of logic, as well as premise, conclusion, and concession indicators (my tutor said most students don't do as well because of a lack of knowledge on the fundamentals, not necessarily because they are not capable).
You will do great. However, the real improvement will start with you believing you will do great. Don't think about the time left, just think about what you are going to do with that time (we still got 6 weeks to lock this down).
@bcn I also am cramming with work and gonna give it a shot, we got this just gotta hold our selves accountable and try your best to be consistent. Consistency is what I am struggling most with but we got this!
@bcn I was initially gonna take the LSAT this year in November. But had a couple of surgeries so naturally had to push the date. I started studying late November, after I had recovered, and registered for February 2026. I work full-time so have limited time to prepare.
The admissions at my prospective law school advised me to push it to April 2026. Their reasoning was that I will have more time to prepare, obviously, and in case I do not get the score, and thus the scholarship, that I want, I can re-take it in Sep 2026. Which would also allow me to apply to school early. It made sense so I took the advice. And all the LSAT attempts and scores show on the transcript so I'm trying to limit my attempts to two.
@kimwexler Bruh, better to get a high score and good aid then go to law school with low score and no aid. Most people spend 3 years or more getting out of debt for law school so try to minimalize debt as much as possible. If you need to take a gap or another gap, it's not a big deal. Not everyone's time is your time, but your time will come. Type shi

I'm a bit confused on how in the stim it says fishing could have a effect on public health, but the correct presents it as more of a fact. For these questions, should we assume if something could/might/may happen, it will?
I think that we are just describing the argument. Different stems will ask for different parts to be summarized and thats what we look for in the answer choices.
There was no mention of moral principals in the stimulus. In fact, the stimulus is mostly concrete statistics. Also, answer B mentions when the principal is "usually correct," to which the stimulus never mentions when such a principal is or is not applicable. There was also no mention of "foreseeable effects" anywhere in the stimulus on either side of the legislation: neither side mentioned the "foreseeable effects" on the local fishing economy or on public health.
I'm sure there are other reasons to knock out B, but those are the ones I noticed.
if anyone needs a full on explanation of MOR questions and common AC types (including common wrong answers), there are two really great explanations in the comment section of the first module in the v.1 curriculum for the MOR unit. sort the comments by "Most Likes" and those two are the first to show up!
#feedback this should be added to the V2 curriculum. Seems like an oversight that it isn't here. Makes me want to review V1 more broadly to see what other material I might be missing out on..
Excellent lesson. I learned alot more by going through the answers in order first so I could pause the video, take notes, and ask myself "is this where the argument is leading?" not knowing if that answer was correct or not until I hit play.

Is there a methodology for determining which is the sub & main conclusion?
@ThomasMunnia What I tend to do is ask myself, "why" when I find a conclusion.

Good luck with your test! I hope you crush it!🤞
Circling C rage baited me so hard.
@JackFoley No really, I was like, "heck no," then when he circled it, I was like, "excuse me?"
Guys my LSAT is in November am I cooked im worried. I started studying in July and I feel behind tbh.

@JackFoley thanks bruh :)
MC: The Bill should be enacted
SC: Continuing to permit fishing in Eagle Bay could Thus have grave effects on public health.
That is the SC because its explaing need or supporting the MC right? I dont see how its the MC when its supporting the reasoning for the bill.
@AutonomousTacticalTheory
The bill should be enacted.
"well why?"
"...because..Continuing to permit fishing in Eagle Bay could Thus have grave effects on public health"

chat my lsats in 4 days am i cooked
@... How was your LSAT?
I miss V1 JY, more aggressive approach towards answer choices. He's really soft and sweet now when explaining it.
going over C
J.Y. : " Oh yes this is good."
Me: I agree completely, C is great.
J.Y. : Just kidding it was a trap :)
Me: Of course C is terrible I agree.
For lessons, please put harder questions so that we get a better understanding before "you try" questions and drills.

I'm a bit confused on how in the stim it says fishing could have a effect on public health, but the correct presents it as more of a fact. For these questions, should we assume if something could/might/may happen, it will?
The correct answer (D) doesn't say it will affect public health, just that it RISKS public health. This is the same as you are describing here.
In a way, for the stem "The argument proceeds by presenting evidence that..." are we just looking for a restating of the conclusion?
I think that we are just describing the argument. Different stems will ask for different parts to be summarized and thats what we look for in the answer choices.
can someone please provide a straightforward concrete explain as to why b is incorrect I couldn't catch exactly why its wrong for this question

Haha nice one, Mr. Ping! That was a masterful ruse with C, you guileful knave!
Xenogears!
