7 slightly threw me off because I felt as if it introduced a completely new thing aka a "warm bath" was random. But after the explanation, I understand it.
@KevinLin'sOldUserName When I watch your videos I like think you are trapped in a digital dimension (due to the pattern of your background) and that you await for anyone who clicks on your videos to help them. When we log off you are trapped but you are there to help the next person. How do you survive....i do not know. But thank you for helping!
with these videos, it def makes answering these questions a LOT easier/helps my understanding. i do think thats largely bc we're doing these question types in isolation w these drills, i can see how hard this would be moving from one type to another constantly throughout the test
hi, these videos are great but i noticed that when i have the drills in another tab and im switching between the tabs sometimes the video will freeze and the only way to fix it is reloading the page and then it restarts the video.
The way I finally understood why 7 was E was because it connected to the idea of the causal mechanism. They explained it was by raising body temp slightly before bed that you could achieve better sleep. Even though "warm bath before bed" isn't an idea mentioned in the stimulus, it's conceptually linked and that link is what the LSAT writers are testing us on - recognizing conceptual similarities rather than trying to word match. Excellent video!
I do not really understand number 6 because the article mentioned nothing about labor costs. But however, for C, they explicitly said that they are looking to replace high paid skilled workers which directly shows that C is correct right?
@LawrenceCheung88 i thought the same thing and chose C but then realized the stimulus said "highly paid skilled workers" but C just says "highly skilled" it's missing the paid part. Being highly skilled and being highly paid skilled isn't the same thing :/
For number 5 I still think answer d is wrong.... because more eggs hatching does not mean that they will survive their environmental hazards.
what if a lot of eggs hatch and all get eaten still? C seems more correct because one possible way does not take away from almost impossible (not impossible)
I still think d is not most strongly supported! Because even if more eggs hatch they can still die???
@MayaVM You're right that more eggs hatching does not guarantee the condor will survive. But that's not what D is saying. D is saying if more eggs don't hatch, they won't survive. That doesn't mean if more eggs do hatch, they will survive.
Basically:
If Not A, then Not B.
is different from
If A, then B.
I encourage you to review the Conditional Logic module in Foundations for more on this point.
@MayaVM I think the reason C is wrong is because there is not enough information in the stimulus to support that its impossible. Even by eliminating the effects of the factors does not mean an elimination of the factors themselves. I e=got stuck on this one too but eventually chose D because if survival depends on eggs hatching, and more eggs don't hatch then the condor as a species would not survive!
I choose D for 7 because I've mistaken the question as NA (or SA) question. If it was, would D then be the answer? Because if we negate the D to "some people in the control group experienced a rise in body temperature just before bedtime", this would hurt the researcher's argument that working out in the afternoon helps deep sleeping by pointing out that even if you don't workout in the afternoon, you can get deep sleep.
Maybe I'm overthinking it but on #6 is C partly wrong because it just says "highly skilled workers" not "highly paid skilled workers"? Because you could be a skilled but not highly paid worker (I'm thinking of someone entry level with a lot of skills but not much experience)
About Q6... I chose A over C for a different reason, and that reason was that C had no support from the first example (i.e without the second example, C could not be concluded at all), so I didn't look that closely at word choice of C and didn't notice the "no longer" vs "looking for". Just want to make sure thats also a valid way of arriving at C -- in most strongly supported questions like this, can automatically you rule out answers that aren't supported by both examples, even if they seem to be supported by one of the examples?
@JordanButler That's an interesting question. I'm hesitant because it's not clear to me that "the examples presented above best illustrate..." require both examples to illustrate the correct answer. It would be unambiguous if the stem were something like, "Each of the examples best illustrates..."

Kevin is the GOAT!

love you Kevin
it looks like you have a dubai chocolate soccer
ball behind you

Great lesson! Though I can't stand this question type arggggg
@bellas32110 my worst
This was extremely helpful! I realized that I was overlooking extreme language, which can make answer choices wrong.
Q4 - I don't know why but the use of "a crop" not sunflowers threw me off.
@NunyaBizNiz Grammar strikes again!
@NunyaBizNiz This gave me a bit of trouble too - I initially took it as "if a crop" or "any crop" in a conditional. A crop is just referential
These videos are really helpful!
Super helpful video

@GeraldineMas Hi! How did you manage to open the drills in another tab?
@aswarre3 right click the link and select "open in new tab"

Thank you!
This really made me realize how I overlook strong and provable language! Thank you
I really enjoy these most strongly supported questions.

What is considered a high diagnostic with regards to jumping directly into the fast track lessons?
@NunyaBizNiz about 160+ I'd say suggests strong starting reading/reasoning skills
@Kevin_Lin thank you!
Thank you. But these are the hardest questions because several answers can offer support
