i got 5/5 really easily, but i just don't see how this will click for me while i'm taking a test. whenever i try to diagram while taking a PT, it takes too much time and contrarily confuses me even more. what do i do???
I feel like I understand these statements and arguments without using Lawgic. I guess I am struggling with understanding the point of Lawgic if I have a good grasp on the intent of an argument, do I need to spend a lot of time understanding Lawgic for the LSAT?
5/5. But here’s what I’ll say. Six months ago I went 2/5. Two months ago I went 3/5. This test is really hard, and it takes time, and time alone, to improve. If you feel discouraged, beaten up, or like you want to curl into a ball and do anything else, trust me, I have been there. It does get better. One piece of advice. Depending on your timeline, try to move at a pace that lets you actually learn. My biggest regret in my studying journey was trying to plow through lessons just to be “done studying for the week.” I highly recommend slowing down. It’s way more about quality than quantity. I hope this tangent helps someone. I seriously mean it. If this made your brain hurt, you are not alone. Take a break, go outside, then try again in an hour. Do not just click next lesson.
For question 2? if I negate loyal companion in my lawgic structure is that the same thing as crossing it out? Or do we have to cross it out? I think I might just be losing my mind.
for the question 1, does using "someone" not differ from using "one"? I thought the final chain made weak sense because "someone" already implies 'some others' who can still use force lightning without negative emotions.
In the "Mordor" question: "Unless" is a Group 3 word. As the commentary explained, in order to venture into Mordor, it is necessary that you are brave. "Unless" indicates sufficient conditions. I am not sure why that is in this context. Being brave is certainly a necessary condition for entering Mordor. But couldn't there be other conditions that might be required to enter Mordor? For example, you might need to be "prepared" as well as "brave"? Maybe I need to return to the Group 3 explanation.... Any advice would be appreciated.
Memorizing the indicator words is the key! And in case of "no" and "unless/until" in the same sentence, going with the later made it easy. Took the "no" just as a negation and not group 4.
For #5: regarding the initial claim, I went like this:
Water of Life --> BG's Rituals
Thinking of WL as a subset of the things used in BG's Rituals; it appears to me that the verb "to be" ineluctably functions as a first group indicator, by that meaning that the attribute of the sentence serves the role of neccessary condition, whereas the subject serves the role of sufficient condition.
2 feels weird. At no points does it say that dragons are creatures so to me the first part cant be chained unless I make the assumption that dragons are creatures

5/5
did this section again, and got a better score. but that was after I went back to review. I need more practice to feel confident...
For #5 can I assume the "no one" and "without" cancel out making the chain
WL - Mt - trial - suffer ?
anyone having issues with the video stopping entirely at 10:45??

Good luck Future Lawyers!

For question 2, how were we able to infer that creatures was a referent for dragons?
for the question 1, does using "someone" not differ from using "one"? I thought the final chain made weak sense because "someone" already implies 'some others' who can still use force lightning without negative emotions.

Im really not understanding this and even reading through the comments I'm still not getting it.

It starts to make sense, surprisingly.

All cats ARE (to be) mammals.
C --> M
I keep seeing "no" and thinking it is group 4 before continuing and seeing a different indicator such as "without." urgh lol
#1.... I thought the last sentence, However...was the conclusion. Am I wrong?
once I have all the indicators memorized its pretty straight forward.
