lol this passage was literally the topic I wrote in my capstone thesis
I decided to skip the split approach for this question and go straight to sequential to get a real feel for how it is. Just to give me a better idea of which style works best for me (I will revisit split after I do that).
So far I think I like split more- its literally a "work smarter not harder" method, which is more my style. but I thought I would give the other method a fair chance too!
I wouldnt have gotten this without using POE
I think this is a great question to solidify how important low-res summaries are
i fell for it smh
Is anyone else finding RC easier than LR
My low-res summary.
Ginsburg:
W.Tech (doesn't equal) W.Culture.
+ opp (to) strengthen culture
This was more helpful for me to remember there were 2 main points she covered in this paragraph.
Find the general idea of the stim/ the message its trying to portray and then apply that idea to the answer choices. which ever fits best is ur answer
Awesome got it right!! I took a little longer but idc at least I got it right lol
Stim:
A→ B OR C
A→ /B
Therefore: A→C
Matches E perfectly.
idk if anyone else has been doing this.
But its been a lot easier and faster for me to translate both the Stimulus and the question answers into basic Lawgic.
Once I got my basic formula for the stimulus, I quickly sifted through the answers to see if they follow my pattern. as soon as it deviates at all, I will cross it out.
I find it easier to translate into A, B and C, because the large phrasing can be confusing and take up time. So instead of focusing on the words I just translate and follow a formula/pattern
So if the stim is:
All cats are green. Most green cats like cheese. Therefore all cats like cheese.
I translate it quickly into
A→B‑m→C
Therefore: A→C
Then, I look at the answers that follow it by translating them into A, B, and C.
This was a great lesson! I feel like I really get it and how to apply it
councillor acting liking he got evidence too
theodora what are you even on
damn I did not have a fun time w this one
girl thinks she knows everyone
Damn the way I read this question was not at all as how he read it lol.
dumb wording fr.
I get why B is wrong. And I knew the flaw.
I have to remember POE and be SURE when crossing out answers. smh.
not only was this a hard passage FOR THE FIRST ONE.
it was also incredibly boring. or maybe it was boring bc I didn't understand.
But anyways I def took way more time on this then I should have.
Personally, I agree with the first perspective.
Yes, there is more to life than work; however, in a changing society where your quality of life is severely impacted by your ability to get a job, career preparation is a vital skill.
As a recent undergraduate with a Biology degree, I have had the opportunity to work in the field and in the lab to gain experience; however, that is not enough. To become a biologist, you need additional certifications and specific experience that school just never provided. To find a job in this field, many places of employment already expect you to have years of experience.
My friend, who obtained a master's in biology with a minor in ecology, has minimal field experience in school, however, he is struggling to find a job after a year of graduating. He is drowning in student loans and works three part-time jobs to keep him afloat, just because field technician jobs require years of experience, which he can't get without first getting a job. The irony.
If school had prepared him for his career, he would have had a better chance in the job market today. A lot of us are lucky to live with our parents or have financial support as we prepare for the real world. But what about the people who don't? The people who have to work 8-12 hour shifts to keep a roof over their heads, whilst studying full time and trying to navigate what their future looks like? The purpose of an undergraduate degree should be to help prepare students to transition into adulthood.
Just because the school puts an emphasis on career preparation does not mean a student can not cultivate their own values and learning. There are many extracurricular activities, friendships and skills to be built in any type of setting. However, the skills we have fostered through social relations and self navigation are useless if we are never given the opportunity to use them in the real world. Without career preparation, the skills we cultivate will remain on the shelves. Unemployment rates for young adults have skyrocketed, and housing has become incredibly expensive; to live, you need to eat and to eat, you need money. How many people do you know who went into the career their undergraduate degree was focused in? Even though I have a degree in Biology, I am currently working as an accountant for the city and am preparing to take the LSAT. All are vastly different career paths. Sure, I am building skills I never knew I would through self navigation, but I got to where I am today by being lucky. I had connections and time to build a name for myself by entering the workforce at an early age. With career preparation, schools would be able to introduce students to potential employers, allowing them to foster connections more easily and allowing them to build skills/experience without worrying about getting a job after school. Having a job in today's society is not a want but a need to live. What's the point in having the "university experience" if you never get prepared to get out of it.
Oh, my bad. I went on a tangent, I was not tryna write out a whole ass essay but anyways if I was writing this prompt my answer would be kinda similar to this I think, with obvious grammar mistakes, more examples and concise organization.
Kinda sucks that there wasn't an essay with this perspective.
Awesome 4/5 first try done in 5 minutes!
Imma take that as a win!
6/7 THATS A WIN!!!
that trick we learned in lesson 2 really helps!
does anyone know how many NA questions are usually in the LSAT
Wouldn't 60% of people choosing B just mean this is lowkey a bad question?
(just tryna cope T-T)
