the LSAT Games App has one particular game called "Logic Blitz" that I think is really helpful if you're trying to become more proficient with these arguments in your head. it will ask you if an argument is "valid" or "invalid" and frequently gives you All/Most/Some type questions. Try it out!
I think it is better not to kick up ideas for this question type. Premise 2 written as A^B -m-> C gives us a clear indicator that two conditions need to be met to entail C. The additional condition is what makes E correct, but cannot be immediately seen during the first pass if one of the conditions is kicked up i.e. kicking up wastes time and forces us to evaluate answer options twice instead of once.
this question type was killing me in pt, I feel like this fast past tip is amazing/ totally broke down the barier i was experiencing with this question type.
Got to the right answer quickly just by matching up the wording and logic trains in my head. I greatly recommend rewatching and studying the explanation video of the previous lesson "Houses on river street". Completely changed how I saw these questions.
I immediately chose D after see the most-most-most format repeat and that was a mistake. Always read to make sure its actually following and not just using the same language.
Okay so so far, my current takeaway for Parallel is:
Separate passage into premises/conclusions/conditionals.
Find answers that use similar conditional language
Revert back to grammar should a potential answer actually be wrongbecause it's first sentence reiterated 3 subjects, whereas your wrong answer only reiterates 2 subjects.
Shallow Dip/POE any that don't match said language.
No actually i crossed out A-C immediately bc it didn't match the most-most-most set up in stimulus. Took a little sec to deep dive and saw D didn't follow the stim set up.
I didn't get it right on the first try but the second ACED. Shallow dip definitely help, because I can quickly deduce the pattern. But ngl I think I might have to flag these and come back because I want to be like okay this goes to this. And it is so nice that I dont have to actually understand what the argument is talking about, I just need to understand the form of the argument.

Can someone please map and explain the logic chain in D?

I have to repeat how great that last lesson was. It really helped on this question.
got it right AND on time??? someone pinch me
Now do not try to link a most on me!!
BRO that last lesson was so helpful
@ColinBoyd Aye fr though

Okay got it right but damn time is going to be a BIGG issue with these ones.
Well shit. That last lesson actually worked.
@Njbrunette Yeah definitely one of the better lessons so far.
I tried to go fast and then I got it wrong and then I got it right on the br LOL

Shallow dip is helpful. I think the move for these is to flag them and come back at the end on the exam. And hope there isn't a lot of them lol
Timing is going to be brutal
correct and perfect timing woo hoo
shallow dip helped SO MUCH
def not my worst question type but i worry about timing
