I understand this:
A ---most---> B -----> C | Valid Inference A---most--->C
I don't understand this:
A -----> B ---most---> C | no valid inference
Why isn't A (---some---) C a valid inference?
Please Help!!! :_(

I'm also first gen Asian American and I studied Marketing in undergrad! Currently 29 and decided to swerve because I wasn't feeling fulfilled in my role. I've always wanted to pursue law right after undergrad but had some setbacks due to financial reasons. I'm not sure how much time you're dedicating to studying, but you sound proactive and if you study full time, you should get to your goal score.
Take a diagnostic first and see where you're at. Then create a study schedule and jump into the core curriculum. I sped up the playback speed on videos and skipped some problem sets on concepts that I have a strong grasp on. I like to go back to problem sets in between taking practice tests (PTs) to review. When you feel comfortable attempting practice tests, don't pressure yourself into doing them under timed conditions in the beginning. I used the stopwatch function on my phone and then record how much time I've taken to map out how I can improve. I started doing timed PTs 2 months out from my actual test date and that's been going well.
Take as many PTs as you can and don't skip out on the blind review process. That's where I started to see progress on my scores. I've taken plenty of breaks to review concepts and even read The Loophole to strengthen my LR in between PTs. It's important to review concepts even when you've moved onto timed PTs to address your weak points. Your time frame is quite limited so don't beat yourself up if you're not getting to the scores you want. Some schools will accept LSAT scores as far as January.
Congrats on beginning your law school journey! Good luck on everything!
Hello! I'm taking my first LSAT ever this April and want to be sure that I'm well-prepped equipment/tech wise. Quite a few people mentioned they had tech issues using a Mac with ProctorU and this is making me extremely NERVOUS!
Can you please share your experience and any tips/insight you have? I wonder if I need to borrow a PC laptop from someone for exam day. Thank you!
What has helped me tremendously is speeding up the instructional videos to 1.4x or 1.7x. I can still understand JY and save a bit of time.
I would love to get the quizlet link as well, please! My biggest struggles with the LR section are the assumption questions, especially NA.
That's brilliant! Thank you so, so much @!

Here is an example using letters:
AAAAAAAAAA
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
.....................................CCCCCCCCCCCCC
All "A" is B. Most "B" is "C." There is not at least one (some) A that is a C. That is, there is no "A" that is "C." So, no valid inference can be made.
Thank you!!!
I think I get it. So just B doesn't mean A because the correct contrapositive of A----->B is /B----->/A right? But satisfying the necessary condition doesn't lead anywhere.....I think....
I think my mistake is assuming every B is A
