4/5

Q2 was the only one I was a bit unsure on (not sure if it was a lack of understanding the question or the options)

It was also the only one that I felt like I did not have a definitive answer or feel confident in any of the options

q1 00:53 (-00:17)

q2 01:29 (+00:06)

q3 01:41 (+00:34)

q4 00:45 (-00:27)

q5 00:59 (-00:01)

"Becoming a Force user requires years of training."

Rey: hold my Lawgic. iykyk

Time: 02:15 (+00:14)

Result: 100%

I think maybe I'm a bit less of a visual learner than I thought (at least when it comes to these concepts in particular). I have felt though, that a change in mindset, similar to when I was taking Calculus helps.

Upon reading the question, the main gist I got was that just because bilateral symmetry is common, the author said that it was enough to justify it being advantageous, simply because it was a common trait (and survived and was carried over to other species and whatnot). This reasoning in itself in my brain felt like "um...okay..I guess?"

Using my own understanding that it wasn't really a strong argument or necessarily true, I looked for similar responses that had similar texts, which eliminated about half the options and then C was the only one that stood out to me in the end.

could have argued B and E but instantly knew it had to be one of the two (moreso after eliminating the others first and then going back into the passage to find reinforcing language)

even with context, inclusive ors feel like such a stretch to be making assumptions on...

FR though shoutout JY for all the visuals. It takes a lot of abstract thinking and brain chemistry altering just to get into the mindset of LSAT logic and can definitely be helpful for visual learners!

really like the part where they said "validity is (if(or pretend that)) all the premises are true". good way to remind yourself to remove bias and other logic and whatever you read is the truth and nothing else.

If one is a cat, then one is a mammal.

Athena is a dog.

Athena is a mammal.

too many sets and circles for me...

as long as we're able to make the relationships and understand them, know what is true and what isn't necessarily-true, then point A to point B by any route is fine right?

"Tom is feeling better today than he was a decade ago"

"well maybe Tom had cancer a decade ago. If he doesn't have cancer anymore, then I'm sure he feels better today than when he had cancer"

-2 seconds later-

"Tom had been battling an illness"

4/5 and some over and under. re-read q2 and instantly knew what the right answer was looking at it clean.

5/5 but why does q4 read so awkwardly? "and so displays" maybe the addition of the so is causing the issue?

"and so displays them only"

"and displays them only"

smacked E on the first read. something about it screamed out to me. i'm not sure if it was the one that made the most sense or the other ones didn't seem to make sense and that made it more correct to me..? 00:54. might need to read the analysis

5/5. re-reading is your friend (and also changing the tenses)

feel like for the last example, predicate could be even broken down more to "the cat drinks milk", whether the cat likes or dislikes to drink or wants to do the action (drinking). likes or dislikes feels like a modifier instead of being part of the main predicate.

i really like the venn diagram visuals to show a different way of how the modifiers are creating sub-sections of these nouns.

kernels gang up 5/5

BANG!

@EJay start looking at any posters or writing in your vicinity and break down the sentences. kind of lame but different way to put practice into play~

"Theory will only take you so far"

Fat Parisian divas trained by cats sing lullabies.

C'est la meow.

A clause is a sentence, a claim is also a sentence, is a claim a clause? Can I claim defeat?

If a verb is a noun, and a square is a rectangle, then what is the square root of my purpose in life?

q5 stumped me. commenting to revisit when my mastery of the english language has improved....drastically
