Damn, 2/5 first try, then 5/5 BR. I think I struggle to correctly identify the conclusion even when I think to myself "what is the main point" etc. Anyone have any tips on how to get better with these questions?

over time, but finally starting to grasp this concept. 4/5 then 5/5 on BR. a win is a win.

FINALLY HELL YA

finally starting to get this

Why is D a bi-conditional and E a sufficiency-necessity confusion?

@TekenaAbere can you pleaseee explain how you used this on the previous alien question? i'm so confused by it.

can someone explain this to me as if i'm a dumb alien? i read through this and still don't understand how we're drawing the inference that the aliens are not as intelligent as humans.

everytime i think im out of the weeds, this course throws rose thorns at me.

my mood is constantly fluctuating throughout this course.

HOLY WORDY ASF

@jessverpez Late to the game, but responding in case it helps someone else. Lawgic can be used whenever it is helpful to you in understanding the stim. A lot of high scores will use Lawgic on a couple of questions during the LSAT. But only a couple! The goal is for you to be able to understand the stim intuitively without the use of Lawgic because you will not have time on the LSAT to use Lawgic for every question. It's not incorrect or unnecessary to use it during your study phase, but you should be working toward rarely using it (if at all).

@JuliaSchroeder Lovely to hear, thanks for the reply!

Curious how others are approaching this - I have been getting the 'you try it' and 'drill practice' questions right over the last few LR modules without exceeding time constraints too much. I spend time reviewing questions I get wrong in-depth, and log them in my wrong answer journal (along with why my choices were wrong and why the right choice is correct) but I'm wondering if I should be doing the same for the questions I answer correctly? I don't want to brush over an opportunity to reinforce the lessons but I also don't want to spend ages working through this content.

A main conclusion question has NOTHING on me.

@lmoore I could be misinterpreting how you've chosen to abbreviate the passage, but regardless, the way you've written it suggests there is a "most" concept and most is not indicated or implied in this passage. Many does not equal most. Many is a claim about a number or amount. Most is a claim about a proportion. So, your notation is not written logically.

4/5, not focusing on timing but things are becoming more intuitive :)

5/5 and quick w it:)

4/5! But why is #3 approached as a sufficient condition? Isn't 'only' a necessary condition indicator? Wish the video would have spent more time explaining that rather than breaking down modifiers of the word myth :/

5/5 and timing is getting significantly better!

@Bnwilborn8

I thought this initially as well but then realized its because 'Rae's newest work' isn't actually attributed as being a 'most successful novel'. The passage is saying that it could be a successful novel. Considering 'work' as a referential to 'successful novels' would be deeming it is as a successful novel.

I know I'm late to this but I'm going to give this my best shot, as I'm also trying to wrap my head around some of these examples. The way I see it, is that the core sentence should be understandable, in that there is a claim being made, once all of the modifiers are removed. In question 2, for example, the subject is Alfred Wegener and the verb is developed. If the rest of the sentence (i.e., "the concept of continental drift") were a modifier than the core sentence would be "Alfred Wegener developed" and that doesn't make sense - what did he develop? He developed a concept (object). The same can be said about question 3. Mary Simms is the subject and declared is the verb. If we stated that the core sentence was "Mary Simms declared" we would be left asking what Mary declared, which was that "billboards are the basis of our business."

This thought process doesn't work for every sentence, as some sentences do not contain an object. But in those examples, despite not having an object, the core sentence still makes sense (i.e., a claim is being made).

5/5 on the first try! Just gotta reduce my time a little.

3/3 - so so happy!

5/5! Making sense!
