#9 was disrespectfully hard.

I thought E was wrong because even if Mars had the materials, how do we know that they don't have to haul them from a different part of the planet thus making it expensive.

Not JY thinking people are eating ribs in prison 😂

I would drill logic games until you get -0. Very doable with enough practice. For RC I would just do lots of practice tests

22 tripped me up because "serve the purpose of" seemed too strong... I thought that the transferring of risk was a byproduct and not the main goal...

Not sure if it is just my video but right when JY starts to explain Marta's argument the video pauses, turns grey, and there is an X in the middle of the screen

I guessed my way through most of passage B because I ran out of time. However, it really helped to circle the planets that each passage is talking about to refer back to them quickly. AKA it helped me avoid "mis-matched" AC

For BR.... it helped TREMENDOUSLY to draw out what was happening with conditional logic. The "premise" in the first passage hinted for me to do this. For example:

Aux assumption 1 (Newton's Theory) → explain Mercury's orbit

Aux assumption 2 (other planet's orbit) → explain Mercury's orbit

So when the Necessary condition failed (negative evidence) I pushed the arrow back and saw what Author A was saying.... which premise was the one that failed? WE DON'T KNOW! Anyway, this might be a waste of time but it was the only way I actually understood how to get to the AC for the last question

Something that jumped out at me is that the argument draws a conclusion about a PREHISTORIC marine reptile based on a premise regarding MODERN marine reptiles. The correct answer choice consolidates the two by mentioning "In most prehistoric and modern marine reptile species..."

None of the trap AC resolve the CHANGE OVER TIME question that you need to resolve

Conditional chain explanation:

Stim: Well intentioned actions ‑m→ not effective

PSA: not effective → not justified

-------------------------------------------

Conclusion: Well intentioned actions ‑m→ not justified

I felt like the word "discredit" was too strong which is why I did not chose C. In my mind, to discredit an argument as stated by the AC is to say something negative about the argument itself... however the politician is attacking the motivations of the people making the argument. UGH.

I got to E because every other answer is completely out of the scope. I still do not understand a word in this stimulus. Alas.

I chose A because some people are unable to imagine/picture things in their head. Therefore, if someone cannot picture things in their head they will not use the right side of their brain when trying to picture sheep. I understand why C is correct but thought I would explain my personal thought process.

I thought Arjun was wrong because Yolanda is talking about direct harm (physical vs intellectual) and Arjun jumped to physical through the intellectual. I understand now what the flaw was... i completely missed it under timed testing.

I thought about this a little differently.

A child who tends to be more extroverted can still be introverted as a whole... but can be more sociable than another introverted child who may have not been adopted by extroverted parents.

So are we just assuming this is a binary cut? Not falsified = confirmed. I am pretty sure you never confirm things in science... you just fail to reject?

This really confused me but I ended up choosing D by process of elimination even though I was not too convinced about the assumption that not falsified = confirmed

I solved by mapping out the arugment:

SDC → + →comp

SDC → - → /comp & benefit

---------------------

SDC --> Benefit

The only way we can get to this conclusion no matter what is if + →comp & benefit

"You might be discovering something about yourself"

KING J.Y. SOLVES PREJUDICE AND RACISM IN ONE LSAT VIDEO <3

The reason I ultimately eliminated B was because it said "local industries" instead of "older local industries" as stated in the premise. Not sure if this logic was correct.

Can someone please explain how to distinguish this NA question from a SA. I did not chose A because it felt like a "trap" as it seems to be a SA #help

Petition to make this a level 5 question.
