missed the "except" smh

but dad i don't waNNA eat my peanuts with aspergillus

any tips on definitively telling the difference b/t conditional and causal?

domain: (shallowness)

when i dip u dip we dip

you're actually pointing directly to the flaw in the argument!

after analyzing the stimulus, once you kick "houses on River Street" up into the domain, bc it runs throughout each subject, you're left with:

brick → front-yard —m→ two-stories

or A → B —m→ C

the only valid thing you can draw from this is that most brick houses have front yards (A ‑m→ B), not that ALL of them do. we really aren't given any information about the houses on River Street in general, only the subsets that either 1) are brick houses, or 2) have front yards. hope this helps!

#feedback i think these lessons are very clearly and concisely written AND i would still appreciate videos :)

may you be blessed

skip to your heart's content! i don't listen to his explanations for ACs that are obviously wrong, and will skip the stimulus analysis if i already understand. similarly, will mostly skip whole videos if i got the You Try right, i just skim the written explanation to see if there are any important points that get made.

i think it's hardest to hear when he's explaining something you already understand and he goes into hypothetical mode – also probably doesn't help that i'm mostly watching 1.4/17.x speed lol.

also, regular breaks are good. take some deep breaths, get some fresh air, don't look at your phone or play music. you got this :)

it's clear from your comment on this question that your expectation of satisfaction with that question did not obtain

(didn't for me either, it was archaic as hell)

PSA question stems typically include "most helps to justify" where it seems like the wording for any NA question must be about requirement, ie "[...]an assumption on which the argument depends," "the argument relies on which assumption," "the argument requires the assumption that," etc.

i hope u score a 212 on the LSAT 🙏🏼

bingo bango bongo

picked C initially then talked myself into E in BR. i'm really struggling with why E doesn't work.

it seems to me that the rule laid out in E fits the counselor's argument really well – what am i i missing? i get that the conditional logic when laid out doesn't agree but intuitively it's not making any sense to me. any help is appreciated 🙏🏼

mmmm delicious word salad!

definitely not, keep it moving

you've throughly punctured my positivity balloon lmao

not necessarily, the poverty level for <65 could be 10% and the malnourished percentage could be 5%, which would still be consistent with the idea of more of them being impoverished than malnourished. and we're supposed to take all the answers as true for RRE i believe

count me in if you're still making a group!

soooo....the scientific method basically?

goated

I feel like this would make way more sense if we also were given a valid form of the argument.

So for this one, I think that would be:

Most of America's almonds are grown in California. Most of America's almonds are exported to Brazil. Therefore, some things (implied: produce) grown in California are exported to Brazil.

US almonds ‑m→ grown in California

US almonds ‑m→ exported to Brazil

_

grown in California ←s→ exported to Brazil

It may the case that some things [produce] grown in California are not exported to Brazil, and some things [produce] that are exported to Brazil are not grown in California.

If this is wrong, let me know!

thank you, this was more helpful than the lesson for me haha

#feedback i have an app to block distracting websites incl. youtube while i study, so if there's a way to embed them natively and then maybe additionally provide a link that would be super helpful

#feedback even when introducing new concepts, even if it's not a full "you try," it'd be nice to get the questions and answers in text form first so we can give it a shot ourselves and then see if our instinct matches up with the correct answer, as explained in the video! tyyy mucho

it's mentioned previously that in a timed situation, lo-res summaries are best done mentally. the lo-res recap technique seems somewhat reliant on having written them down, if the idea is to cover it up and recap ourselves. do you believe it's possible during the actual test to remember all the lo-res summaries/reader-created paragraph breaks mentally without taking some physical notes?
