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 >_<

@BoluwatiwiAlabi I find the logic for the sea sickness and jogger tends to only apply to the experiments and comparing two groups.

This question doesn't compare those who wear sunscreen and those who don't. It's talking about a general trend, which makes it difficult to weaken or strengthen with the same logic.

Need to trust when I know an answer is right! I saw 40-60 years olds and was like "wait but what about first years?"

If I didn't understand why an answer is right, I definitely need to parse the grammar of an answer like B. But confidence means I can skip over any ones I find vaguely confusing.

Got it right but over time by 40 sec!

I tend to subconsciously skip over longer or more grammar heavy answers in fear of time. Definitely need start analyzing the grammar in even the obviously wrong answer choices so I can do it faster during the real thing and not miss these questions!

Was briefly tempted by A but got it right and under time LEZZ GOOOOOOO

@danjpeach96 A typo, apologies!

Dang...this could have been a 5/5 for me! I flagged an except question, but when I went back I forgot it was except and chose the opposite answer! ugh!

@nehirrs25 While I understand the reasoning, this is making some big assumptions. How would a spectator even get ahold of a script? Did they write it down themselves while watching?

We can more reasonably assume an actor would have at least a parts worth of the play.

Just an aside as a Shakespeare lover-- the actors indeed only got their own parts of the script! They would only know the last couple words from the line right before theirs so they knew when to come in. I can't remember if it was for anti-copying or to save paper, however.
