These are useful
In question 5, if it isn't how would approach a question like this, as you said, would it not be more useful to show us the quickest, fastest way to get to the understanding in reference to a real question
Wildly convoluted, it would be helpful to show us this with real questions
You mention how its useful to know this in case we need to understand a real lsat question, but these are not real lsat questions. I understand it is there to help understand the concept, but it would be useful to include a real question so we can actually apply it to the bigger picture. The "lawgic" on the tests are never this rudimentary and change the grammar a lot more and much scattered order. If we could actually have a full complicated question broken down it would be useful at this stage. I know it later stages this will happen, but by the time we get there, these simple examples do not translate over immediately
I am about a sixth of the way done with the curriculum, a little over half way done with the foundations. I am curious if i should be starting the drills. I have started doing some drills related to the foundations lessons I've completed, although these drill questions are harder than the example ones at the end of lessons and I am getting a lot wrong. While I am concerned, should I wait to be doing these drills until I have more of the core curriculum done?
Honestly trying to do the chain method only made it more confusing and took longer than when I just read the statement as a whole and looked through the answers. The correct answer was the only one that even made sense. This method is of narrowing down the answer through chaining made it more convoluted and even if you were proficient at it, the amount of time you should spend on a question barely leaves you time to read through the answers after figuring out the logic of the original statement itself
For the third condition, Even though you said it was repetitive, wouldn't it be useful to still have it in mind to rule out C. I got the answer correct, but I nearly chose C but did not because the answer nearly triggered the investment aspect. You said it does not preclude other things like money, but the third condition says they should not buy if there is an investment aspect. So would C be right if it explicitly said she was wanting it for the value of its investment or are you trying to say the third condition is moot entirely?
