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.

I can't believe I got it wrong for the reason I did. It's easy to read over answer choices. Didn't even catch the "his opponents" in B.

Got it right on the BR and I really think I could have got it the first time if I caught that. Live and learn I guess!

Most confident I've felt on a question. 25 seconds under ayooo

Is it bad to read an answer, think it's right, and pick it without reading the other options? Specifically for RRE.

I went 21 sec over time but I felt confident about A when I read it, so I could have saved time by skipping B-E. Would this be potentially detrimental?

I don't know why I thought doing this in a noisy place on my lunch break would be a good idea...2/5 and I feel like I didn't really learn anything T_T

Eliminated wrong answer choices made this very easy for me.

B, C, E all go way outside of what the stim says. retail cost? engineers focused on? engineers will ever be able to? All never stated or implied.

A does a classic. It takes a given statement/result (raised speeds) and says its the only cause/result. Also not implied in the stim.

Therefore even if D is a little confusing, all the others are 100% wrong.

@npf87 I also had this issue. I realized its an annoying grammar mistake. The stim is basically saying "they only sell plants they guarantee to be disease free" This is like saying they sell the guarantee. Therefore in the conditional (and answers) the negation would be like "they were not guaranteed"

If it said "they only sell disease-free plants" then it would be a conditional sell --> disease-free

I did the logic so fast in my head that I read the answers too fast and picked the wrong answer the first time...It seems like I usually fumble once I get to the answer choices T_T

I got it right...in 4 minutes lmao.

I'm still very slow at conditional logic-- definitely something to work on! Unless in particular trips me up

I have to start taking negatives at face value. Instead of just mapping out the logic with the negatives, I got caught up in making it into the contrapositive, which in turn confused me way more than it should have.

In the video I was very confused on how the B to possible D connection was made, but I think I got it?

Sentence 1 is saying accelerated growth --> more demand for tech development (A-->B)

Sentence 2 is basically reinstating what 'demand' is, which is more buyers than sellers (sort of reinstating B). That and there are some business on that supply side.

Sentence 3 says the accelerated growth can cause business failings (D-->E).

Then we can (kind of) assume with 'supply businesses' wanting to seek the 'demand' (B) of that growth (D). And what happens to those businesses? It can cause failure.

...idk if that made any sense to others.

I still got it right but I'm worried about making mistakes regarding this leap in more difficult questions.
