@soniaarun127 a paranoid part of me suspects that a disproportionate amount of correct answers for these parallel questions might actually be D or E as to act as a time sink for the unwary. #epsteindidntunalivehisownpersonhood
Goodness me, these questions are the abstractest of the abstract. They will take lots of practice to feel confident/choose an answer/choose the correct answer.
To anyone else struggling with these: You will get better! Everyday you learn more and become better at understanding these questions. By the time you take the LSAT you will be an expert test taker! :-)
@EthanSegerman this is where tactics on test day become important. Imagine seeing this at Question 21.. you still have more questions to go through, this would be a good one to skip and come back to.
Indeed, KY even says in previous lesson that unless you have a good grasp on the foundational skills to probably outright avoid these questions.
these lessons are so helpful, thank you!! these were the most intimidating questions for me - my brain would just shut down but mapping it out has made them feel so easy.
I actually despise when the answer choice is E. I'll be reading through each answer panicking like "I don't think this is it, but I'm getting to the end and what if the last answer is wrong!?!?"
All of the answers in Parallel Reasoning so far have been E. I wonder — considering the length of these questions, if we are faced with one in time trouble and thus cannot read the entire thing — should E be the default random selection for these questions, which is preferred to just not answering the question in time trouble? I think it might be ever so slightly more likely than the other answers, especially if the test writers' goals with these questions is to make us spend time (thus prompting them to place the correct answer last).
this is some conspiracy level stuff... Is there any way we can check the percentage of previous parallel reasoning questions have been answer choice "E" lol
not a conspiracy. the frequency of right answers in questions 18-25+ are C,D, or E. They do want you to chew up time. hope this helps and don't ask how i know this lol.

shallow dip is singlehandedly responsible for my answer streak
three of these being E in a row scared me ngl

@soniaarun127 thought the exact same thing lol
This question would have been so much easier if Miyoko would just show a little academic curiosity.
PUT ME IN COACH
I take back what I said 2 lessons ago.

It takes so long to do these questions wtf

JY casually deleting Miyoko from existence
Got it right, but took too LONG
okayy, i like this lil section
Maybe I should try to disregard this, but I've had three answers that were E in a row, which really messed me up lol
@JayEgger lol me too I refused to pick e because of this
JY eliminating D after the word "Miyoko" was wild
I hate these questions with a burning passion

The Charles Entertainment Cheese guy better have a comeback as to why Janine did not choose the Mouse!
DANG IT I GOT IT RIGHT BUT I HAD TO PAUSE TO GET A FLY IN MY ROOM SO I WAS A 2 MINUTES OVER
@ManusWeber thanks for letting us know glad I'm not the only one oversharing
I'm usually not good at logic but I'm surprisingly fast and I'm getting most of these right so far. Yippee!!
Honestly the cost of this course is worth it for this lesson alone, LFG! I was so bad at this type on my diag test. Now I'm knocking it out!
@BrandonSchittone
Totally agree. The flaw 'cheat-sheet' before was a big one for me too. It really nailed down some of that vocab.
I've been organizing the content of the stimulus and then shallow-dipping this way using colour and it's been helpful:
There should be a short Lawgic review section before this unit
These questions have me internally screaming.
I actually despise when the answer choice is E. I'll be reading through each answer panicking like "I don't think this is it, but I'm getting to the end and what if the last answer is wrong!?!?"
Makes me freak out

The author presumes, without justification, that E being the correct answer a few times in a row was not simply a coincidence.
do you have legit statistical evidence for this? What's the frequency? this might be a game changer for an extra point per section if ur low on time
