I got this one right but was 38 seconds over -- when you guys are reading the stim are you diagramming as you do it? Or only if you don't fully understand it?
I worry that on these if I don't diagram as I read I run the risk of not understanding it at first blush and then expending even more time trying to diagram on my second read... Thoughts?
Just checking the conclusions works for this question. The conclusion in the stimulus is comparative and D) is the only answer choice with such a conclusion.
dont worry about the target tbh as long as u are around 1:30-2:00 per question you will be fine cuz you can make up time on some and use more on others. I was 1:32 which is fine by me
Try mapping out the argument. I do it for every single question, and even though I go just a bit over the target time, it has helped me get it right every time.
(Although I know that some people might have got this question wrong) I totally agree with the question (even this section) being easy and my confidence was diminished from the previous sections...ugh💀
Why did I think that because the stimulus compared Lot B to Lot A in the conclusion, that I thought because D compared the Liberals (A) to COnservatives (B) that I thought it was wrong because D should have had Conservatives before the Liberals to match the stimulus? Am I wrong in this thinking?
It's important to remember that the order of statements in a paragraph does not affect the logic of the paragraph. It's about the method of reasoning being similar, not the similarity of grammatical structure.
can someone explain the difference between sample-population and part-whole? i understand the experimental connotation of sample-population but they generally seem like almost identical concepts
I think sample to population doesn't necessarily carry as much risk as part-to-whole if that makes sense.
While I will take JY's word that it can be used properly, I can't remember a single time part-to-whole reasoning wasn't considered a flaw in the argument.
While sample to population can certainly be flawed if the sample isn't representative of the larger population, it can also be a viable method of reasoning if I am understanding the curriculum correctly.
sample to population in generalizing findings from the sample to the entire population whereas part to whole is a statement that is only true of a part of the whole does not make it true of the whole as the whole is GREATER then the sum of it parts.
sample to population would be a a study where a sample only including undergrad students u have some finding abt them and then try to generalize the findings from the undergrad students the the ENTIRE population of the university.
part to whole is saying these basketball players are the best in the league therefore the team they play for is the best team.
just because the parts of the basketball team are good does not make the whole the team itself good. the whole (the team) is MORE COMPLEX (greater) then just the individual strengths of each player it entails more than simply the players (the parts). like how well they communicate ect......

It is so crazy how fast you have to read on these things.
Pierre Poilievre and Mark Carney face off again in the 7sage curriculum
I fucking love this section
@chrisabulius hits my brain the right way
used the shallow dip method and chose the only answer in which the conclusion was comparing 2 things!!!!
Shallow dipppp!!!!
Just checking the conclusions works for this question. The conclusion in the stimulus is comparative and D) is the only answer choice with such a conclusion.
@AudreyGilmour Ohhh you're tuff. Thanks for the tip!
This was the easiest question ever. Shallow dip all the way!
Why did they portray "four hundred" in words but "300" in digits?
@VibrantXerographicAgency Just carelessness. The core curriculm is riddled with typos and other errors.
@kidkumquat That's not a typo. That's how it appears in LawHub:
@VibrantXerographicAgency That's just how it appears in LawHub. The question text is pulled from the files LSAC provides.
@Kevin_Lin Thanks for the clarification.
@VibrantXerographicAgency LSAT authors most likely did that to throw people off knowing they'd be looking for multiple sets of numbers.
@kidkumquat be nice bro
i still got target time but i was thinking theres no way this question could be that easy after having this lesson full of all hard qs
lvl 1 difficulty in the bag... oooo chat let me not crash out but use this as a stepping stone to ace the harder ones
I feel like this should have been so easy but I still was 34 seconds slower than the target
dont worry about the target tbh as long as u are around 1:30-2:00 per question you will be fine cuz you can make up time on some and use more on others. I was 1:32 which is fine by me
Don't sweat that 34 seconds is nothing you can't make up for in other questions.
This one felt harder than the last one and I almost picked A. Wtf

I wish all of them were like this :)
it took me 15 lessons but I'm so back
i b so scared on the easy ones lol. 7sage has traumatized me
real
if all the lsat questions were like this one i'd def get 180 <333
@leslymrivera524 For real!
7 in a row! The cheat codes work like a charm with the counting method
whats the counting method I forget lol
Counting words such as most, any, and all. Additionally, looking for comparatives
but dad i don't waNNA eat my peanuts with aspergillus
Way to easy
this question was too easy that i wasted time overthinking it... i have trust issues with the lsat
ME TOOOOOOOOOO rip :(
(Although I know that some people might have got this question wrong) I totally agree with the question (even this section) being easy and my confidence was diminished from the previous sections...ugh💀
ATE!
