@cccmaye542 I got it when it came to the failed necessary and satisfied necessary but got lost with the sufficient parts. Thank you for taking the time to write this out for me
No matter how many videos and notes I take I am still having trouble understanding when the necessary is being satisfied or failed and the same for sufficient. I understand what the rules are saying but I still am not understanding how to recognize the two when it comes to in/out games.

In reference to this game, in game board three we have In: K, N ,L and Q. I understood why L went in but for Q this is when I get lost. If K went in then I thought that the sufficient was being satisfied but if the sufficient is being satisfied then the necessary must be satisfied but that wasn't the case because Q became a floater which means that the necessary was satisfied. Can someone please clear up this confusion? I am not sure what I am missing or what isn't clicking.
Thank you so much for your response! I was thinking 2 pt's a week but then I think I saw some discussions say that people spend like two days on a blind review so I am not sure how to approach this. And I will definitely be reaching out once I reach those higher pt's.
Hey guys! So it shouldn't be much longer before I complete the course curriculum! I plan on taking the November LSAT and I was wondering how many pt's should I do before the test.Also if anyone is about start with their pt's and you would like to form a study group where we can help each other grow and discuss blind reviews then feel free to comment here or message me.
I see a lot of discussions of the LSAT having a curve but what exactly determines how much the curve is worth. What exactly is the curve and what is it based on?
If you are presenting a counter to another argument then you are weakening it. Albert is going to do whatever it take to weaken argument therefore making his stronger.
36 was a parallel reasoning because the question stem was talking about principles most similar
Principle Question stems look like this
1. Which one of the following most accurately expresses the principle illustrated above ?
2. Which of the following conforms most closely to the principle illustrated above?
3. Which of the following is an application of the economic principle above?
Cant you still apply to the school but just have your November scores sent to them so that its the only thing they have to wait for?
Yes that helps I think I was trying to do more of a pattern with the stimulus and answer choice and had no luck and then diagramming wasn't working all the time for me. Another thing that I have a problem with is the fact that the answer choices all seem very similar
For parallel flaw questions, how do we go about finding the correct answer choice? Are we looking for invalid arguments? Are we looking for answers that are opposite from the stimulus. Can someone clarify how I should go about finding the correct answer choice?
Thank you all so much, I had a hard time with the wording in both.So basically A told us what we need in order to succeed and D didn't so that's what its wrong right?
Yes I get the indicators and negations confused sometimes. Thank you
Still having trouble understanding why A is not the answer and D is.

The thing that got me with answer choice b was the translation. I understood that P was positive but I thought Cathy being ill would have to be negated since unless was a group three indicator word.
Mines was GL→PW
/CI→PW
/CI
Conclusion: /GL
Where did I go wrong? # help

For Jy's explanation shouldn't it had been C's are B's instead of B's are C's since the c represented the critical success and the B represented the commercial success? # help

The sentence there can be no industrial growth without new capital investment is what caused my translation to be wrong and explains the reason as to why I had a difficult time finding the answer. No is group 4 and without is group 3. I thought in a situation like this you should pick one indicator and choose to either negate the sufficient or necessary. Now I heard JY say that he negated Industrial growth but I dont see how when there is no negation sign. I thought it would like this /ig→nci or ig→/nci. I did that because I negated one of the ideas. Then I thought he took the contrapostive but that cant be right because it would be backwards. Where did I go wrong? # help

How do you master whether or not if something should be placed in a group or not and by that I mean how do you know to add plants to not having a nervous system instead of just diagramming it like a regular sentence? I diagrammed it with each letter representing something but my EP did not end up being negated. What did I do wrong. I couldn't follow JY's diagram explanation
EP→NS
P→/NS
_
/MTP
Then I saw the NS and /NS so I did this
EP→NS→P→/MTP( I added the /MTP to the end because I knew that it was the conclusion)
So my answers were either EP→/MTP or MTP→/EP.

Ignore the first post I made because I went through and reviewed this question again and it sort of makes sense but I still have a question. Why wasn't /cr←s→/l diagrammed? For future references in a problem like this would you just automatically add whatever is missing from the conclusion to complete the chain?

I feel like after doing all of those lessons my mind wants to use logic and when I try it doesn't work because I am not sure as to what should and shouldn't be diagrammed, what words I should use for my logical indicators that will grasp the whole concept and how my final answers will match the answer choices. And then when that doesn't work I am not sure how to go about getting the correct answer. Is there an alternative way to get the answer without doing logic?
How do you know what to diagram first? My diagram is cr→/lw→/sr→l and then I stopped because I realized that the conclusion had to be l→/sr but I didnt know how to diagram it. I see that JY diagrammed the SR first but that threw me off because in the other lessons he always went in order and how do you know what premises to not diagram?#help
I would like to see a post about the anxiety of taking practice tests
