If you've made it this far, then congrats and keep going!!! Some of these questions are rough (especially if you didn't learn specific concepts yet like me!) but don't be discouraged. It's a lot of new concepts, a lot of weird grammar, and a lot of patterns to learn through practice. The best thing you can do is to keep at, keep learning. Remember, you're trying to learn complex logic rules in a couple months versus a couple YEARS, It's going to be rough and take longer than you'd like. Don't give up, I believe in us!!
This all made sense but after all the drilling on conditional logic my brain was in formal argument mode and kept looking to use lawgic on problems where it wasn't applicable.
@GDatria715 The Adaptive Drills are Mixed Practice -- so they aren't meant to always show you things that you learned about in the lessons around it. That's why the problems might not seem related to conditional logic.
Boy, I did it once and got 1/5, retried a new set of questions and got 4/5. Neither time did I feel confident in my answers. After spending hours learning about conditional logic, a question set on assumptions just feels deflating.
took one and got a 1/5 which made me feel like I have been doing all of this studying for nothing. I took another one with different questions and got a 5/5. I am still going too slow and it seems I lack consistency. Maybe I am anticipating the questions and therefore ready to use different tools and tactics, but then the question is asking something different than what I was preparing for. Does anyone have any advice on how to go into each question prepared, but not where you are ready to use a skill or tool that does not apply? Or how to know what tool or skill to use just by reading the question?
@AdamNelson418 My only advice is to go into each question with a blank slate. In the sense that there should be no set expectation.
Try to really understand with the question is asking for and re-adjust your approach based on the major key words. Also, really understanding what you have to do when you see specific questions because it doesn’t matter how many question types you can identify correctly if you don’t know how to solve them.
@inky Do not give up. If it is of any help, I was getting anxious yesterday cz I could not answer any question correctly. I kept studying and today, I just scored 3/5 first attempt with a significant reduction in time..... Good luck!!
I thought I got fluent in Lawgic, diagramng, translation, and valid arguemtns and this was supposed to be a drill for that but defintley not helpful at all. The questions are a lot more complicated and it feels like the conditional logic don't get used the same way. In fact, I think trying to force using conditional logic made me miss the obvious answers and problems with the question.
Didn't expect the Foundations module to be as helpful as it turned out to be, but after applying its strategies, I scored 5/5 on my first attempt. AND I only felt uncertain about one question!
Ok yeah now I'm seeing how internalizing the rules of logic has made this so much easier, I'm actually shocked! Didn't think all that work of studying logic rules would have as much an effect on my time and correctness wow

this was terribleeee, i was so ready to apply the skills about conditional logic and didn't use any of it
@StarBrooks I felt this. I tried it out and got lost after the fourth question
@StarBrooks same 3 out 5
@StarBrooks SAME. UGH I am so disappointed
yeahhhh... this was not fun

what...just...happened?
2/5 this stuff makes no sense. its nothing like the lessons and it once again says the right answers are information we never got in the question

@Kevin_Lin although you guys probably made that clear already it seems like i didnt know and i was so confused as to where to apply it to. lol
I'm a bit slow at responding but this is my first 4/5 so its a win
3/5 but I am SOOO SLOW!!!!!!! I'm averaging about 4 minutes each question ☹️
4/5 on the first try BUT my issue is im still taking 3-6 minutes on each question. its still early so im praying i get faster!
I'm only getting 2/5 twice. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

this was bad
im cooked.

got none of them right and a 1/5 in BR. ugh

@TharcilleTuyisenge thank you for this. I needed it. We are gonna whoop the LSAT.
I got 2/5 and then 5/5 in BR. I don't understand what I am missing the first time, since I am choosing the second best answer in BR
The adaptive drills honestly make me feel worse lol
4/5! could have had a full sweep but I didn't trust my gut lolz

@Shwani this is mixed practice not all the questions are about conditional logic
4/5 - i cant believe i got number 5 wrong out of all of them

5/5 yay
Ok yeah now I'm seeing how internalizing the rules of logic has made this so much easier, I'm actually shocked! Didn't think all that work of studying logic rules would have as much an effect on my time and correctness wow
3/5 which I will take but I can't seem answer within the one minute and whatever seconds the LSAT requires to maintain timing ahhhhhh
4/5 first try but these were nothing like conditionals lol?
