Almost everyone I know is heavily left-leaning and many are even socialist. This doesn't mean that everyone in America is left-leaning (unfortunately), it just speaks to who I surround myself with and value the morals and beliefs of. This question seems like it was written by an artist in artistic social circles; while I, too, am an artist in artistic social circles, I definitely wouldn't claim that everyone wants to be an artist just because many people I know would attest to this.
Apply your own logic and experiences, within the scope of the question! Remembering that the LSAT is based in real, tangible logic that affects day-to-day life can help not only keep you focused but also grounded.
Reading the question actually made me cackle a bit, like who tf would make the argument that almost everyone in the country wants to be a youtuber because a lot of their friends wants to be a youtuber?! Needed this.
@jansenbienmbelarmino I just did the same thing. Were you able to get past these second guess instances as you progressed through the curriculum and took more PT's?
#feedback #help. where do we learn about circular reasoning? I know the term but I feel like we are just supposed to understand it. is there a 7sage lesson that goes over this?
@AlizaGGG Circular reasoning is when an argument presupposes its own truth. "Donald Trump is a good leader, because he is President of the United States". Just because Trump is inherently the leader already, doesn't inherently make him a good one, the fact that he is President doesn't prove he's good. You'd have to justify it with something outside of its essence.
@bradydalton77 I made flashcards of all the common flaws with examples and why they're wrong and drilled them regularly and found that really helped :)
There is some YouTube videos that go through the FLAW question types, or you can type in Part to Whole LSAT questions, and they are greatly useful in describing what they are.
The lesson we learned about it is the first you try called 'The House on Oak Avenue' after Lesson #5. I think it's a flaw that calls out when people try to apply how one part of something (like a kitchen of a house being well-designed) amounts to the whole of something else being the same (the entire house being well-designed). Just because the kitchen is well designed doesn't transfer necessarily from the parts to the whole.
There's also a lesson on this if you need further explanation: https://7sage.com/lesson/21-common-argument-flaws/

Please make every question this easy when I take the test next month.

if only every question could be this simple
Ngl this was one of the first questions where I actually had to pay attention to who the speaker was
i may have gotten this one right but trust and believe i will get the next five wrong!!!

The difficulty in this question was 2/5 (meaning not as difficult as other questions), however, I got it right, and I am so happy yayyy got it right!

i knew the correct answer was D but still chose E because i thought they were trying to trick us

@MALCOLMMACINNIS my go to example of circular reasoning is religious defense argumentation. "God is real/ Jesus is.. because the Bible says so" lol
If we just read the lesson, will be miss any important insights? Or does the written lesson always parallel the video? #help
So cute
this question was so easy it had me think i was going crazyyyyy
I'm barely getting any of the flaw questions right, does anyone have any tips or tricks?
Same

girl thinks she knows everyone
real
Why cant this just be it? 3 hour test of questions like this lol.
Maybe it is!
ok, manifestation!
Not me manifesting it
lightning round af
This argument made me LOL. Wish they were all like this.
Whoever wrote this argument is from Nashville-Tennessee.
I got this one right, but does anyone know which lesson we learn about part-to-whole? Or can anyone explain it to me?
