i feel like im scoring worse after all these lessons - i was so distracted trying to do the formula we just went through that my common sense disappeared lol
So, let's say that E got the proportions right. Wouldn't it still be wrong since some and most could both mean all, so you cannot weigh one over the other?
@JamesFoleno yeah if the sample size for generous parents is 100 and self centered 100 we know 51-100 generous parents are good parents where as we know 1-100 self centered parents are good parents. It could be that 53 generous parents are good parents where as 78 self centered parents are good parents both still meet the claims of the premises but in this scenario some of the self centered parents (78) are good parents is greater than most of the generous parents (53) who are good parents. This is why E isn't correct because in this exact scenario it is refuted.
@Ella12 Practice, my friend! I struggled too. It gets better with practice. Don't stress about time, just focus on understanding and getting it right. If you get it wrong, figure out why. That will help you get better. Good luck!
@hawaze I struggled with this a lot too! It might help to deeply review conditional and set logic and just do lots of untimed drills on conditional logic and confusing sufficient v necessary. I've seen lots of improvement doing that so hope this helps you too. Good luck!
i got it wrong and right when i got it wrong i knew the correct choice had been D. yet that doesnt take away from the fact that i was so lost between the two of them. i also thought a was wrong but for the wrong reason. this one got me good. probably a sign that its been enough today lol
I was confused because doesn't the order of chain matter? You cant be a good listener unless you're a self-centered parent first.. or can you switch the order of intersecting facts and it doesn't matter?
I ALMOST fell for A however, E I smelled out wasn't very relevant to the diagram. While yes, there are fewer self-centered parents than generous, that's not the point of the argument. Idk if that makes sense to you guys but for me, the way I'm gonna go about this in the future is sniffing out any irrelevant information and ruling it out with reason.

wrong twice. omg.
same.
@NoaF123 you got this!
@NoaF123 same but first time doing this so not going to freak out about it just yet.
Same!
I'm confident the timing will come, but I got this right!

@MajadaNelson Me Too
I have once again fallen for the oldest LSAT trap.
Took a lot of time to diagram but at least I got it right! Hopefully in due time the diagramming will all be mental.
@petvma yes! try going back to diagram the spanish 101 question as well, it helped me!
@ArthurMorgan Thank you! Gonna try it now.
got it right with 41 seconds left over:D
Got it right but had to diagram every statement
I got it wrong but Im sure I know why I got it wrong
this was so satisfying to get right after all those mind boggling lessons
On this exercise I noticed that I got rid of all the wrong answers much easier compared to other drills.
Got the blind review correct!
I fell into the A trap and then did blind review and got the right answer after applying lawgic.

does anyone have an recommendations for diagraming? I feel like I still struggle with questions because I'm not mapping it out correctly.

i suffer with sufficient v necessary sm, should i just redo that whole section...?

wow that was finally a question that was open and obvious after lawgic
got it right w/o diagramming!
I was so, so confident in the wrong answer
i got it wrong and right when i got it wrong i knew the correct choice had been D. yet that doesnt take away from the fact that i was so lost between the two of them. i also thought a was wrong but for the wrong reason. this one got me good. probably a sign that its been enough today lol
wrong on both tries my goodness
Gen- m -> G
SC < - > G
G - All -> GL
—------------
GL - All - > G nope invalid
GL < - > / G nope invalid
GL - m - > Gen nope invalid
GL < - > SC …. SC <-> G -> GL therefore SC <-> GL Valid! :)

I got it right but I hand to diagram. I probably would have fallen for AC A if I didn't diagram it out.

I got it right
