@arieatsoranges Thanks for the video! It helped me understand the concepts clearly.

@LiviaLSAT I'm the same way. But I heard that we don't need to diagram all the questions. I try to read it to understand it and figure out what's the missing piece.

You’re painting is beautiful! 🤩

Congrats!!

Not going to lie this one has been the one that has tricked me up the most from the section! I picked B thinking it had something to do with the argument, in the contrary it mixes up sufficient and necessary conditions and it also triggers the wrong thing. Then in BR picked D realizing it sums up the argument.

I've learned with these types of questions are to first identify the premise and conclusion in the stimulus and understanding what you're reading. Then find an AC that matches or links to the premise and conclusion. In the wrong AC most of them have a similar pattern, they confuse sufficiency and necessity, bring in unknown information, or uses language weak compared to the stimulus.

My example: Gas vehicles have been around since the 1920s and have been used all over the United States. Electric vehicles have been newly introduced and have less of an impact on the environment than gas vehicles. In the United States, most people prefer gas vehicles, although they pollute more than electric vehicles, since they can find gas pumps more convenient than charging bays. Although electric vehicles help the environment, people are going to choose gas vehicles.

3/5 on both passes. Question 4 and 5 were confusing.

Yes, this is not fair but honestly this motivates me as a test taker to do my best and prove that I can beat the LSAT and LSAC’s expectations!

On this question, I was between A and C. Once I asked myself, the argument isn't referring to most peoples it's referring to Early Urban Societies. I knew the correct answer choice is C.

I started getting these right but now I am having a hard time understanding.

This question had me stumped for a bit. Then I started to pick out necessary and sufficient indicators and realized the wrong ACs had issues. Then "think" is not a strong indicator, so I was left with B that made sense.

I picked A because I thought of the moral rule, but rereading it in BR, it's asking about the counselor's reasoning. That's where I realized I made my mistake.

Congratulations!!

If we have similar causal arguments to our argument, it strengthens it. When we have different causal arguments, then it weakens it.

@MarcosGuzman415 Not going to lie, I’ve been struggling with WSE, but I feel because I’m still learning but with some drilling I’ll understand!

On the other hand, if you are struggling with the basics you need to go back and review the fundamentals to make sure you have a better understanding.

In paragraph two the word mammals is spelled incorrectly. My constant issue is that I misread and read too fast.

@M1ckeymina Thank you! I would've liked if they explained a bit more and given more examples.

Thanks for the motivation! We got this!! ✨

@Chanda.m That's what I've been focusing on accuracy! Right now we're trying to understand the concept but not focus on our timing.

I've been trying to find a pattern and I realized that for strengthen the conclusion has key words I can use to find the correct answer.

I'm going to put this out there and I am struggling with weaken and strengthen questions. Out of all I've done I probably have gotten like 4 to 5 questions correctly.

@TeklaCo I did this and it refreshed my memory on those important details in an ideal experiment.

Hello! I'm interested!

Hey! I’m also new to the LSAT studying, I started studying in December and planning to take it in June, I started with a 135 diagnostic and grew two points. I’ve learned that quality is more important than quantity. I was studying 2 hours everyday when I first started, but I burnt myself out one month later and not understanding anything I was learning. I decided to work for my dream score first and then worry about when to apply. You might be burning yourself out and putting stress on yourself.
