Hey! I’m a Mexican American first-generation student. My current score is a 139 but working on increasing it! I would like to join!

I literally got this one wrong because I thought it was still MSS. Gotta slow down and make sure to read the question stem.

This one seemed harder because of all the modifiers in the stimulus.

I restarted fundamentals because I was not understanding none of it, but if restarting helps me achieve my goal score, let's go!

I’ve been having these issues too! I just thought it was my WiFi connection.

@JennaInch That's what helped me choose the right answer. I think reviewing my prefixes and suffixes won't be a bad idea.

@bhabel814 The sub conclusion got me.

See y'all on the other side

Thank you for sharing this! This encourages me that I can accomplish a good score! I also started with a 137. How many months did you study for?

I understood it by thinking of the Formal Arguments #4 and #6. They all have to have some or most before all because we needs As in the other three two buckets.

A <--s--> B --> C

A <--s--> C

Some As are Cs. Because there is some As in the C bucket.

Not like the invalid argument:

A -->B <--s--> C

A <-s-> C

How do I have some As if I put all of them B. It does not make a correct conclusion.

I don't know if this is right but I thought of it like an algebraic equation: AMB+AMC=BSC.

So that means that quantifiers can come in a middle of a sentence not just the beginning, like in answer choice C ?

@NicoleGutierrez8234 Me too! This was super encouraging! Thanks Brad!

How do I know when unless refers to a conditional format or to the exception? I saw unless and put it as the exception for question 4 & 5.

@Elecoo Same here ✋ I get it bit better but the last two got me

I honestly feel the first one makes the more sense to me. I think they provide three different types of frameworks bc everyone's brain is different.

This was how I understood it:

If a resident lives in a building with more than ten units...

If is a sufficient indicator so this statement is on the left B10+

then either she has an inalienable right to keep a pet or she has not kept that pet openly and notoriously.

Then is a necessary indicator so everything is on the right of the arrow because we must have this

R or /OpNo

We put it together

B10+ --> (R or /OpNo)

It still doesn't make sense so we follow the sufficient negate rule of (or)

So now my rule says

B10+ --> (OpNo or R)

Well I can make it even more clear and pull out the inside sufficient condition to make it a sufficient conjunct in the outside conditional

My Final rule says

B10+ and OpNo -->R

The "have an inalienable right to keep a pet" is the necessary condition because it is the predicate?

In question 2, since the necessary condition is what is stated and it does not refer to the sufficient condition. We cannot infer whether SAS or /p is true. So is that why we have an invalid conclusion?

Hey! I recently started to study for the LSAT and reviewing the fundamentals to better understand the questions. Would I be able to join although I'm new to studying? Thanks.

Hey! Before you move on make sure to understand the sufficient and necessary and the indicator words thoroughly!

I highly recommend that if you do not have the first two groups memorized and do not understand sufficient and necessary to not move forward. Talking from personal experience! :)

I was using the study plan to study, but a lot of this explanation wasn't included.

For your subject, ask yourself who is doing the action? Then for your verb, ask what are they doing? Then anything before your verb modifies the subject and anything after your verb modifies the predicate.

Congrats!! 🎊
