As soon as I saw the correct answer, I ended it. Probably not the smartest but if it must be true than it must be true.
These type of answers don't seem to understand the larger picture. He's trying to show you how to think, not how to answer the question as fast as possible immediately, that comes later. I don't get how people don't understand this
Hopefully this good karma came around and YOU got into your favorite law school
"Forget this. (crosses out stimulus) Let's go for a walk in the woods."
JY is a literal riot.
Question for all: are you guys reviewing all of the individual breakdown videos or only if you got it wrong? Or just depends how much prep you have already done?
^Gen Z lawyers be like: "Your honor how could my client be lying? He just put it on God."
LOL, of course I tried to employ the method described in the previous lesson to "save time," not expecting a straightforward stimulus with 5 answer choices that are all seemingly explicitly stated in the stimulus. So I chose C because I saw "thus," only to play the video review and hear the first thing JY says be "the LSAT writers are quite aware of shortcuts"
LSAT writers are a step ahead, but so is JY
Structure:
CTX: "A large company....behavior"
Main conc.: "Still, the trial was worthwhile..."
Major premise / sub-conclusion: "...since it provided..."
Minor premise: "After all, ..."
Answer Choices:
(A) Author says trial was worthwhile, doesn't speculate on if the company had not been convicted.
(B) cookie cutter wrong: premise not conclusion
(C) cookie cutter wrong: context not conclusion
(D) answer: structure: The company's trial (referent = good) was worthwhile
(E) doesn't answer MCC question type at all
JY be like "How do you like me now?" to everybody who commented "HOW IS THIS APPLICABLE??" "need more LSAT examples!" "Where are the videos??
Why "B" is incorrect when looking at just the first 3 sentences as the entire stimulus:
B - description of the support, the premise. Answer choice B says species use camo to avoid predators and that is why fish living around coral reefs do, but the conc / hypo (of a contextual portion of the stimulus, as we will later see) explains why fish that live around coral reefs have brilliant colors to begin with, not why do they use that camo or why they have camo. Specifically the hypo / conc about the phenomenon (again, in just the contextual portion of the stimulus) is about why the fish living around coral reefs have brilliant colors, not why they have camo which happens to be brilliantly colored or why species have camo.
@JY @everyone
How long did it take everyone to get through Foundations?
I work full time, but feel like it took me much longer than it should have. Also definitely agree that the time estimate for the lessons is very conservative. Did anyone complete all or most of these lessons within the assigned time estimate? If that is what is expected my study approach needs to drastically change.

Then you're cancelled out by the people in the other group who also are not aware of it OR the parameters of the experiment are explained before the test is administered
This isn't a TikTok video. Sometimes it takes time before the payoff becomes apparent.
hum·drum/ˈhəmˌdrəm/: lacking excitement or variety
What's the expression for hypothesis 4 in lawgic? If no (A →B) is that /A → /B? Is there a A → B (strikethrough of →) ?
Or "correlation does not imply causation" as the well-known saying goes
Study plan could be better than just an hours breakdown based on when you take the exam. If there are more comprehensive organizational tools, I'd like to know where they are + see them advertised more so I take advantage of them.
Increase the little blurbs in the corner that give advice.
More LSAT style example questions injected into this lesson to drive home the points.
Oh, in the lawgic portion. Okay, yes I agree. Didn't see that. I kept looking at the text and couldn't see what you were referring to.
All dogs like bacon
Most dogs play fetch
Some animals that like bacon play fetch.
Previous was trying to negate A → B by saying A ←s→ /B, that's where the "some" came from, but it doesn't mention the possibility of the tie
Same! I was confused as well until I remembered that coffeehouses / restaurants may just be the tiny dot inside of a big circle encompassing all things that are well designed. Since the second sentence of the stimulus says most well-designed things feature artwork at least a majority of that big circle of well-designed things, say 51%, features artwork. But there is no guarantee that the dot that is coffeehouses / restaurants is included in that "most" portion of the circle which also features artwork.
