It got me because I identified But as the transitional indicator word from context to argument. I guess I tried to save too much time. Any time that you find yourself using the last sentence as the main conclusion in a longer stim, just pause for a min
It’s not about the stimulus focus. It’s hypothesis (conclusion) strengthening. If it asked you to strengthen the premise A would have done it.
Because it implies the possibility that sunscreen does work and destroys the conclusion
Causation doesn’t require it as much as the conditional. You’ll want it for parallel reasoning. You can pretty much get through the 3 star Qs with basic reading comp.
I highly recommend you take the time to learn it. JY isn’t teaching you this because he thinks you’ll enjoy it
Not really cause and effect because necessity can exist without sufficient conditions. That is more causational logic. which are weaken, strengthen, CandE question types.
If by flexible you mean can be more than one thing, yes.
all cats are mammals
all dogs are mammals
but Mr. Fat Cat will always be a cat. He wont ever be a dog.
The crazy thing is they do tell us everything. Just keep listening and watching and drilling. It is frustrating. I have posted crazy rude angry stuff here, but if you keep plugging it does start to make sense. Trust the process and LEARN the Lawgic.
I test at a -3 in RC, but -11 to -14 in LR because I didn't learn conditionals. This is so important. It's awful. I literally failed geometry because I couldn't get the theorems. Now my future relies on them lol.
I know you can set your drilling mode to only conditionals, but it is still a mix of MBT, SA, NA, Parallel, and Flaw. You will not necessarily be practicing this set of skills.
I have an LSAT practice exam book from Amazon I use to highlight group indicator words and physically map out conditionals. They're like 10 bucks and you can find the practice tests on here for explanations.
Good Luck
For question number two we have to start with the killing of either Bran or Robb, because it is a group two indicator "must" making it a necessary condition.
What I still struggle with is placing Sansa in the chain. Any tips?

I am having a very hard time with the double necessary negation in this question. Is it possible to work through the first statement a little slower or recommend another video where this is explained in detail?
How can we drill these?
Number 2 is sooo much harder if you start with not killing Rob. It leaves Sansa out there doing nothing because like you said "not both" does not mean will be one.
This has to be a 5 star question
What I don't understand in number one is why we didn't negate necessary here, "If he synthesizes LSD, then he cannot cook meth" Please help
Never mind we're just negating one in both?
#feedback
Is this correct?
Negate Sufficient: Negate both
Negate Necessary: Negate one
Never mind. Imma shush and watch the videos lol

For number 3 I thought that "the only" was a sufficient indicator word. The tricky one

SKILL BUILDER PLEASE!!!!!
Does this resolve the example?
A and /B → C
/C→/A or B
Pool is too big. Never assume sample sizes

How are we identifying what is sufficient and necessary in these statements? It seems like we are just reading left to right.
English:
Some almonds are grown in California. Some produce grown in California is properly categorized as a fruit. Therefore, some almonds are properly categorized as a fruit.
Lawgic:
A ←s→ B ←s→ C
A ←s→ C
#help
My issue is with linking conditionals. Making the assumption that Almonds → Produce and Produce ←s→ Almonds is a simple connection to make here because this is an introductory level fact pattern, but in disciplines that I am unfamiliar with this is extremely difficult!
When do we exponent the specific why isn't it aP? What would the question need to look like to be aP? I'm not looking for an explanation of:
All cats are black. Max is a cat. Thus, Max is black.
C→B
mC
_
mB
I understand that. I'm losing the plot in complex applications
I clearly cant cut cookies
