@pb_24 came here to ask similar.... i would not assume that "usually" necessarily indicates "most"
i'm going for a november test date.
i took my diagnostic in june. i wanted to get a sense of where i'm at now, so i just took a second practice test. i still need to complete the core curriculum.
what's the best next step? do i blind review this PT first? i never blind reviewed my diagnostic (should you?). i know i struggle, perhaps mostly, with speed. would that help me get the best sense of where i need to focus, or should i just go back to focusing on the CC?
TIL: there are multiple ways to pronounce the word "culinary"
@RyanApro i feel like this is just about trying to ignore extraneous information/fluff
going for a november test....eeeeekkk!!!
@AbeShapiro yes i think so!!!! lol
@AnnaWallace0321 take the contrapositive and see if it makes sense, i find that helps
at 8:08 i was confused because unless = negate sufficient, but i see with the double negation we just jumped a step ahead and flipped them. in case anyone got confused on that.
more videos before this containing chained "or" statements might be helpful
i mapped it correctly but #2 is BREAKING MY BRAIN

I can no longer un-see sufficiency/necessity....
@abboshap560 subsets and supersets. girlfriends are a subset of the superset, the world. if there is no world, there can be no girlfriends.
Being a cat is sufficient (it satisfies the requirement) of being a mammal.
If you're a cat, it's necessary (it's inevitable) that you are also a mammal.
Try flipping the ideas (taking the contrapositive) to see if it still makes sense. If it doesn't, you probably mixed them up.
Does being a cat make you a mammal?
Yes. All cats mammals.
Does being a mammal make you a cat?
No. You could be a cat, however, being a mammal does not necessarily mean you are definitely cat. Cats are just one of many potential mammals you could be.
Say you have an apple. Does that mean you have a fruit?
Yes.
But does having a fruit mean that you definitely have an apple?
No. If you have a fruit, you could have an apple, but having a fruit does not necessarily mean you definitely have an apple. Apples are just one of many potential fruits you could have.
Having an apple is sufficient (it satisfies the requirement) of having a fruit (if you have an apple, it's inevitable that you have a fruit, so fruit is the necessary condition).
However, having a fruit does not satisfy the requirement of having an apple.
Hope that helps. Did you go through the core curriculum segments on this? Learning "lawgic" and how to take the contrapositive of statements like this can be super helpful!
Which live classes are best to attend? Just beginner ones? Do I drill? I've read others say to hold off on significant drilling until you finish CC.
i find this practice exhausting but super helpful. the contrapositives really help clarify whether i got the order correct.
as others have said, the video on group 1 indicators must be edited because i too am only watching the videos, and the list did not include "the only" so question 3 had me very confused.
I chose D, though A was the only one I didn't eliminate.
Something about the phrasing "indicates that" threw me off, making me think the sentence was a statement of fact, which made me think it was a premise. Maybe I misunderstand the definition of "indicate"?
But I guess even if that were the case, the statement "there is a warm sea" and "the presence of such a sea is ... a primary factor" are separate statements nonetheless that together support the overall conclusion. I did not differentiate these separate ideas.
@jadendhaser maybe the inspections only happen 4 times a year. that leaves a lot of mondays where there are no inspections!
