I think interjecting some questions from past concepts would actually be another useful way of making sure certain lessons and ideas really stick to our heads, by making sure they are getting brought back up on a semi regular basis, even if the lessons covering them were "a while ago" relative to where we are on the curriculum.

@ckilk Comment section really is the underrated hero of this website, so many good alternative explanations provided

@dannyurbina18387 All this makes more sense when you remember it's an exam for law school and that in stuff like law suits, contracts, etc... all this pedantic nitpicking is of the utmost importance lol. Gotta make sure everything can be defended in court.

I got got by the Q5 Red Herring

These lessons honestly are kinda daunting at first, but I find that learning to approach these logic statements from so many different angles really deepens your intuitive understanding of it eventually, it's just a "tough nut" to crack at first.

@D.K._DANDY Awesome profile pic and name lol

@Dom80 Makes you understand why stuff like false advertising claims in court and lawyers/lawsuits go hand in hand lol

@studyever1234 Def not a fan, but still trying to go through it because I'm afraid it will be one of those cases where it pays off in the end but seems dumb at first sight.

@dgeter Same here. It actually felt "too easy to be right" for me and I wasted so much time second guessing because I thought there was a catch.

@AlexisNjoroge To be honest this whole section makes me think of someone trying to explain how to breathe or blink, you just do it naturally without really thinking about it. For native or advanced English speakers (which lets face it, you have to be in order to even think of taking the LSAT) this feels a bit superfluous.

Seems like most people don't like this section in general, me included tbh. I'm sure it's one of those "pays off later" skills that won't seem obvious at first, but man it's a slog to get through.

Major advantage for bilingual people who speak a case based language like German- identifying the Object and the Nominative of a sentence and which adjective or adverb ties to what is basically second nature.

@cmonc093 That's how most kids learn languages while growing up to be honest, if you ask most native speakers of any language to explain their own grammar they often won't actually know how to.

Honestly these questions are fairly easy without the time pressure, it seems the real challenge of the LSAT really is about doing this stuff quickly more than anything.

Basically, the more you have to "assume" the weaker the argument is? e.g. the Disney example doesn't leave any room for guesswork, there is a clear set of instructions to follow which lead you to a result, but the Fat Cat example forces you to make an assumption that Mr Fat Cat ate something based on suggestive evidence?

@KeannaGates-Harkrider Same boat here lol, misery loves company at least. Lettssggoooo
