@kaylabjessup391 Or even 1-2 sentence definition boxes when you hover over the different question types

So it seems like most of who got this wrong were tripped up by the word "property." I don't love LSAT questions that simply use a word in an uncommon way and that's why I get it wrong. Feels like there's not a lot to learn from the mistake.

@BillyM_ The conclusion only applies in the hypothetical world where we have an interest in preserving populations. And we want to prove the conclusion to be correct. Proving the condition applies to a certain scenario is different from proving the conclusion to be true.

I'm just really confused by this concept that the sufficient condition "if we have an interest in preserving any (species)" is actually a hypothetical scenario we need to assume to be true.

I like that these video explanations are all using the same write down the premises and then the conclusion strategy. Feel like I'm getting faster with this question type

@DocRieux learning all sorts of stuff on 7Sage lol

I haven't tracked any applications yet because I plan to apply to law school in October. I added a profile picture though. Am I eligible for the $50? Is tracking applications a sufficient or necessary condition of being eligible for $50?

2:54 JY says ineffect-ual instead of ineffective which should be a word I love it lol

Surprised this one was only a 2/5 difficulty, took me longer than the last few 3/5 questions. I feel like I've watched so many videos that when I work through a question I hear JY's voice in my head lol.

Shoutout to everyone else studying for the LSAT while working or going to school full time. It’s not easy, but we can all do hard things!

After reading the stimulus I thought of an alternative hypothesis that the surgeries were causing the throat abnormalities. My takeaway is that the best possible answer choice for a strengthen question is taking the x->y relationship and rejecting that y->x. Even though there could be unlimited alternative hypothesis you could think of that make equal or more sense logically, you need to favor the rejection of the conclusion causing the premise. I'm not sure why, but that's the lesson I learned from this riddle I mean question.

@BillyM_ I'm going to chalk B being incorrect to the fact that we aren't talking about people's views on new challenges. Instead, we are talking about tech innovation.

@BillyM_ After hearing the explanation for answer choice B I'm even more confused. So it's wrong because some people are reluctant to take on new challenges because of social inertia, and therefore this answer supports the conclusion in the stimulus. Can't I apply the same reasoning to answer choice A? People are afraid technology will take their jobs and oppose tech innovations. Why? Can't we again blame social inertia?

I ruled out A because I assumed a large group of people holding the same belief that influences them to resist social change would fall into the "social inertia" bucket. But I guess social inertia is just referring to the result of populations resisting change. A is saying a large population is resistant to change because they hold this belief about job loss. To me, this just seems like social inertia with an extra step, and therefore A would be supporting and not weaking the stimulus. But this isn't correct. I think my problem was I made too big of an assumption about the term social inertia.

@LowriThomas I just took the LSAT in June and plan to take again in August and feel like stamina is my #1 issue. How would you recommend I study for that, should I do longer studying blocks?

@danjpeach96 Same, I spent so long on this question cause D felt wrong because it was so similar to the passage

Let's all manifest: One day we will all be studying actual laws in law school and will look back on all the hours we studied how to solve hypothetical riddles and laugh.

It took me 18 minutes, but I went to Shell City, and I rode the Hasselhof and I GOT THE CROWN BACK!

Well I got it right but it took me nearly 10 minutes. A win is a win I guess lol

5/5, but I want another level 5 difficulty question!!

@kaliyahwilliams Same, I just missed the word "always" in question 1.

@BillyM_ Another example is I locked myself in my room and made an 808s heavy rap song about being a lonely loner trying to free my mind at night, people would say I was borrowing from Kid Cudi's song Day n Night. I guess people accusing me of borrowing from Cudi would be trying to prove that I was copying Kid Cudi intentionally. Even though I didn't intend to borrow from Cudi, I still did. I guess I could argue "copying" doesn't depend on intention, while borrowing does. I'm getting to far into the weeds, but just wanted to write our my thinking.

I chose answer choice A because I did not think the word "borrow" implied that storytellers from diverse cultures were intentionally using each others themes and ideas in their own stories and "copying" them. I thought it was simply acknowledging that there were common themes in their works. For example, if I made my own LSAT Course all on my own and it happened to be identical to 7Sage, I would still be accused of "borrowing" their content. So the takeaway I have is that "borrowing" implies the intention to copy, and eliminates the possibility that storytellers unintentionally used common themes in their stories.

@Kevin_Lin Thank you! Yeah coming back to this three days later and it seems much more clear.

"What really stuck with you from the 7Sage LSAT course?"

One time JY said he likes normal butts
