Is it correct that for a lot of these weaken/strengthen questions we can find an alternative hypothesis (like in RRE)? I find that in a lot of these I just looked for an alternative hypothesis/something that would disprove for the weaken questions. However is this the correct approach?
Is it valid to see that only A had the word "MUST" which was in the stimulus? So the must was matching making it most similar?
honestly if that works for you and you're doing well then don't worry as much about the logic. I agree, I've been getting super confused with the logic part. I'll get the answer correct, but then when I listen to the logic explanation I get lost. Definitely do what's best for you!!
How do you guys take notes during these lessons?
Or do you more just watch & listen?
Why is the logic not:
Train hard → Win (Best Sue) ?
I know this is the sufficient necessary mix up, but I don't understand why the two are placed on the opposite sides of the lawgic to make: Win (Beat Sue) → Train hard
Would anyone be able to explain please ??
Premise 1: if a plant is a flower, then it is pretty.
Premise 2: the plant is not pretty.
Conclusion: the plant is not a flower
Is this correct ???
Premise 1: If a person is tall, they are also smart.
Premise 2: JB is smart.
Conclusion: JB is also tall.
Being a teacher is enough to be considered as an employee at a school, but it is not necessary for an employee at a school to be a teacher- a principal, janitor, para, etc. can also be an employee at a school.
I keep getting them correct, but honestly I don't understand the lawgic for these type of questions? I have intuativley gotten the answer right, but the explanation is making no sense and I can't apply lawgic... anyone else having this issue?
@czarneckimatthew967 & @yhtkim985 - Thank you both so much for your response!! This makes me feel a bit better about possibly taking it while abroad.
Hello everyone!! Does anyone have any information on taking the international LSAT? Is it the same exam and does it look ok on law school applications?
I am thinking about moving abroad for a year before attending law school (a life long dream of mine), however I'm worried about taking the LSAT and if taking the international test is a good idea? From my understanding if you're not psychically in the US or Canada you can't take the regular exam and need to register for one of the specified international dates, so this would be my only option if I chose to go. This is probably a niche question, but any insight would be helpful. Thank you!!
Why am I doing worse now that I've started to do the low res summaries than I was before I started studying RC :(
Does anyone have any tips on how to get past the boringness of some of these... I really feel like I do poorly on some of the passages because the topics are so obscure and boring that I just can't focus. How can I better stay focused on these and understand them more??
Is this relevant for Logical Reasoning? It seems like it would help with Logic Games, but that is not being tested anymore. I am having an extremely hard time with lawgic. I feel like I can properly draw conclusions most of the time from just reading, but when I try to use lawgic I get completely lost and can't understand the conclusion or what the sentence is even saying at all. I feel like I've wasted hours trying to learn lawgic and it gets worse for me with every lesson.
Does anyone know if lawgic is necessary? Am I just wasting my time when I could be continuing to study something else that I could actually understand? I'm feeling really lost and I've almost stopped studying completely due to the confusion around lawgic. Does anyone have any insight into if this is necessary for the LSAT?
Do these exercises take anyone else WAY MORE than 30 minutes? ;(
Why do you swap clause 1 and Clause 2 in some of these problems? Does it matter?
For example- Question 2.3 stays: A pilot earns his wings when he completes his training.
it breaks down into- [clause 1- A pilot earns his wings], [clause 2- when [glue] he completes his training.]
So, why isn't the lawgic this?:
PW --> CT
The answer on this exercise states it should be: CT --> PW. Can anyone explain why they get switched? And also why does the contrapositive get switched again?
Yes I would be interested in a study buddy! I just started studying and it could be helpful to work with someone.
I'm wondering if I should skip these early lessons and go to the LR and RC sections instead to make better use of my time. What do you guys think?
Can someone explain this to me better? I am reading the answers and it makes absolutely no sense. And can someone let me know if this even matters for the exam? I feel like these foundational lessons are confusing me even more and making me feel worse about this exam.
If we do chose to switch over to the new site, will we lose access to our data on the classic site? Or will we be able to come back to this one forever and see our Drills/PT?
