@fart180 So the key to B being correct is "These changes are intended to increase blood flow to the udder." This shows the intention of the mattress was to first get more milk, and therefore profit. It just so happened that it's also good for the cow's environment and they can claim they're nice farmers.

Meanwhile E assumes the environment was the most important (or necessary) for profits. But there are other ways to increase profits. What in the stimulus is saying that the environment is the most important (or the key)? A small nitpick way to eliminate E is also that concern for the environment does not equal putting something into practice (aka the mattress).

I think another reason to eliminate B is looking at the argument. Why is the argument even mentioning other concert merch if it's not important to the argument?

C finds the flaw that includes this key comparison, while B ignores a major part of the argument.

I don't care I'll still take this over scientific passages T_T

@asanchez The third paragraph say about the flowing glass "must be heated to at least 350 degrees"

This tells you 350 is the bare minimum. With that information, you can infer that above that 350 degrees, maybe even "well above" it, is needed for this visable this transition.

I hope that makes sense! If you still happen to be studying.

The way I only got this right because of POE...and I was 1:15 over....

@VivienneTran The last sentence of the Zanotto paragraph says "demonstrates dramatically what many scientists have reasoned."

I also had to use POE before I caught this though!

My timing is still a bit slow (~2 minutes over), but the rough summary strategy has helped me sooooo much. I used to get bogged down by the length and tried to memorize everything...leading me to forget everything at the questions.

Thanks for the great RC curriculum! 14/14 bby~~ (I also only had a level 3 and level 2 difficulty passages though!)

Love finding Necessary (and somewhat Sufficient) Assumption the most difficult and it's only at level 2 T-T

What an ominous warning T-T

Time to drill my flaw questions more if I wanna Get Good

For anyone who wants to still see how they would do timed but doesn't want to fix mistakes in the BR, I recommend going through all the questions as if its timed, but instead of going straight to BR you just go back to the first question.

Since it tracks how long each visit is you can still check after if your first attempt would have been good timing-wise.

@Isabella! I think he's just trying to visualize the logic error. If you write three separate lawgic's then they all point towards motive but doesn't link motive as a sufficient factor.

The backwards error just simplifies this into one line.

Idk why but I read 'change requires a motive' to be motive --> change. Anyone else?

Remember when I said Sufficient Assumption was difficult? Yeah no, Necessary is way worse...

This question showed me how important 'kicking it up' is.

If you see the conclusion we're talking about etching tools. The first sentence also talks about etching tools. Therefore, we can kick up 'etching tools'. It then becomes a much simpler two set question.

(I also took 4 minutes and didn't realize this till I watched the video so...)

I'm so over Sufficient Assumption bro...I lowkey want to skip over this and come back to it.

...This is a question I'm just kinda skip without understanding the reasoning. Bookmarking it to come back to later when I've developed my skills more.

@ariamisc There is no direct way but if you go under your analytics-->questions and sort by the question type you can calculate based on your right vs wrong answers.

shaking my fist at the air

freakin' vocab

@Virginia_Garcia2026 While a little difficult, I think it would be nice if they had a 'basic explanation' that's max 5-6 mins, and an 'in depth' explanation that can be as long as needed.

POE and identifying the argument strategy seems to be key here. If you identify its an argument by analogy, you know you are looking for how the analogy doesn't work.

And C only talk about cars/motorists. Nothing to do with the argument. D talks about the city and advisors, but is already addressed in the stim. They already got the advisor, end of story. E was also in the stim. "payoff in several years"

Even if you aren't confident in B, its the only one that talks about the argument strategy/flaw.

(I write this as someone who was very lost before watching the video lol)

@LindaLopez We all have questions types that are more difficult than others for ourselves! Just means you have a clear idea of what to focus on in your studying. You got this!

@EmmaKeane8 It may be helpful to compare all those questions and seeing if there are similarities on the wrong answers during that 50/50. If you identify that you tend to pick an answer that attacks the premises but not the link, for example, then you can make sure to look out for that in the future.

I feel like I'm slowly getting better at the science based questions and its jargon! Repetition and exposure really is the answer huh

@nycxchi Yes 100%! I find it helps to do outside reading and make sure to consciously read every word and not skim. If you get into the habit outside of LSAT questions then you're less likely to do it in studying.

@oldguy I feel this. Wanting to study consistently with a job but also trying to make it productive when you're tired from your job >_<
