saw someone say earlier to use the highlight technique, and it's actually really helpful. stilll getting the hang of it, but it allows you to fully see the argument structure. I highlight the premises in yellow and the conclusion in pink.
premise(s): comparative (school year vs. /school year)
Conclusion: Contains "Most"
I did POE and got the correct answer, but my solution does not match the video explanation or text. Is my way of tackling these questions not a reliable way to do it or?
Something that I just now noticed really helped me on the ones I thought could be right was rearranging the language in the answer choice to match the stimulus. So when I got to E I flipped it around in my head and said "When other people's children come to visit, parents give out more snacks than usual. Therefore, we know that most of the snacks parents buy go to other people's children."
#help I have gotten every single question in this module right without having to diagram. should I still be diagraming anyway? I feel like its easy for me to intuitively see the form of the arguments in this module without having to break it down in lawgic.
@Jessievitarelli i am the same way. writing it down just uses up time and i can visualize it while still getting the answers correct and under time. i have not had an issue so far with doing this in any section. i think i remember him saying that the reason to diagram is to eventually be able to intuitively solve.
@natcat same. JY thinks of the right answer/wrong answers in certain ways that he prefers. Unless specifically mentioned in the future/other similar questions are right with that difference, I am going to assume we are okay in using that as a reason to eliminate an AC
I'm starting to understand that mapping doesn't work for my brain bc it causes me to really overthink. I've discovered that what helps most is genuinely looking similar forms of argument; this one was really focused on quantity (not as the content/context) but of the basis of an argument.. truly just go with your gut on what matches the best.
Even though I got this one right this section kicked my butt. A was super attractive but I chose E because it just sounded more logical and followed the pattern of the passage slightly better than A.

stimulus has most and more. I just looked for both of those in the answers and wallah
@mosheelish94 wallahi thats the way brother
so if this exam expects me to pick yp on parking citations vs reg citations i would like to die
9 QUESTIONS RIGHT IN A ROW LETS GO!!!!!!
Got it in BR after mapping the correlation described in the stimulus. This forces you to read the stim more intently, I find.
Its weird because did this question as:
premise(s): comparative (school year vs. /school year)
Conclusion: Contains "Most"

alright guys, any back up career ideas for me?
@Bayside LSAT writer?

i am sooooooo back
the way this question is broken down is so damn much to process
I eliminated A on the basis that it was not a comparative claim.

i find the difficulty so inconsistent on these, like this felt easier than some of the previous questions...
@VibrantXerographicAgency Agree. I felt like this should've been a 1 or 2 instead of 5.
@VibrantXerographicAgency retweet, the last one was harder even tho it was rated a 1 LMAO
Thank the lord I finally got a parallel reasoning question right in <5 minutes
no one is doing worse than me rn it's not even funny...
don't let it beat you up! parallel is usually only 1-2 questions per section :)) you got this!
First one I have gotten wrong this section, and I changed it to the wrong answer on the BR.... misfortune is upon me
We may actually be back
answering this question felt very similar to that feeling you have right after you see you have a parking citation
damn, i mapped it out and changed from E to D kms
