Bonjer mone amy, jay parl fantsay avek un axon amerycan. But really, I spoke decent French once upon a time. If you're struggling and need some pointers, IM me. Prelim advice would be to do 4 things: learn 20 verbs and 20 nouns every week, watch Fr…

You have to change the "any" to "some" as well. The original: (All candidates)(~X->~Y) Or "All candidates are such that if they're not pretty then they won't get elected." Negated: ~(All candidates)(~X->~Y) Drop the negation on the quant…

I'm with you @TimLSAT180 The sentence says it's required. It's easy to get paranoid with LSAC constantly throwing verbal tricks at you, but sometimes you just gotta say "the sentence says x" and move on. What I find tricky about this one is that t…

@extramedium My dealer is Phil O. Sofia. Try some of this sh**: http://fitelson.org/proseminar/barcan_marcus.pdf @BinghamtonDave that is a beautiful, glorious example. If anyone's interested, the modal fallacy in No. 21 goes like this (BA=belief …

Heh, yeah. Pretty cool guy. I'm curious how he was raised.

This a lot like the naturalistic fallacy (NF) (is/ought). Both are modal fallacies. The NF involves deontic modality and these knowledge problems involve epistemic modality. Knowledge assertions can usually be treated the same as belief ascriptions …

The scope ambiguity is killing me.

Logic is a language like English, just a lot more precise. That means it's generative. There's no limit to the length and variation of things you can say, and each logical expression semantically entails certain valid conclusions. Short of proof -th…

Nice. I was pretty relaxed about the wait at first, but then I looked at the calendar and thought "It's only the 11th?! U-g-h-h." Btw it's Black History Month. People seem to forget. If nothing else, check out the new Roots or see the original if y…

Yep, you're normal...well normal in the LSAT world Lol @"montaha.rizeq" I wasn't expecting to be affected by it, but I admit the whole LSAT scene is quite an experience - and not one outsiders can really understand.
-
@ashley_k2204 I agree. That was a super easy 6-spot sequencing game in disguise.
-
Hey @"Cant Get Right". Yeah, I have to give the writers their due. They're crafty. Listen, thanks for hanging around and helping us out. Your voice on this forum definitely contributed to my preparation. There's nothing like the experience of someon…

@abdelmalak17 No, weird bubbling patterns are more likely intentional than unintentional, I think, so seeing that doesn't worry me. On that note, anyone else notice goofy BBB, AAA type stuff all up and down the experimental sections?
-
@cam Dang it. I did better on the fake one. Thanks man.
-
Sorry you got flustered. It takes a lot to collect yourself in the middle of LG like that. LG, LR, RC, LG, LR. I can't tell which one was experimental. Any way I can find out without breaking the rules? If they don't change the order, I guess it wa…
-
Cool thread. I would like to make a contribution by asking some questions. Suppose I claim that all swans are white. I offer this evidence. Every non-white thing I saw in my garage yesterday was not a swan. Does that in any way support my claim? O…
-
Lol @Aidoe I felt like you asked a poignant and challenging question, very much to the point. It made me feel like a bloviating asshole for throwing things out there and expecting them to be uncritically accepted.
-
Hey @Aidoe If you take correlation in the statistical sense of two factors having an improbable (assuming randomness) amount of covariance, then they are quite different. There would be absolutely no statistically significant relationship between …
-
On the LSAT, yes. Philosophically, no. Actually, I remember an RC passage about discoveries in Chaos Theory that implied there may be some physical processes we'll never understand because they behave chaotically, meaning experimental results are s…

How you feel going in https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/ca/cc/fb/caccfbc5c771bde940105f9bdb30e3e6.gif How it could feel coming out http://projectfandom.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Ragnar-hardcore-Vikings-3x8.gif

Hey man. Yeah, I sympathize. Work has interfered with my prep so much that I'm using a fat chunk of PTO to prep for this LSAT on Saturday. Every hour counts now. I stay focused by taking little breaks, for example by messing around on this forum bet…
-
Bottom line: Slow is fast. Stress and panic will shut your brain down, HARD. I know this all too well because I have a job that frequently involves on-the-spot mental arithmetic, and there is a patent correlation between my stress level and my abil…

Conditionals are more presentable in formal logic, but you can keep it casual in an appropriate setting. https://media.giphy.com/media/lfoC8HjUQlQT6/giphy.gif

Sorry for not addressing your questions directly. I don't know who would be in a position - who would have the statistics - to answer those questions. I've seen ppl here recommend "at least 20 PTs," though it's important to leave some for future pre…
-
Be careful about the scope. You showed a proof to this effect: (A->B)->C .... ~C->A; ~C->~B I gather that, in the discussion you alluded to, JY was simply showing hypothetical results for a situation where you start with that particu…
-
Sorry, but I think that's a unrealistic goal. You have until June to prepare. And you're aiming for 5 points? You should aim higher.
-
I like these occasional threads on the strategic and psychological issues around the games section, departing briefly from the details of any particular game or game type. It's a learnable but unpredictable section, so the focus (for me) eventually …
-
I have to confess it's unsettling to know a sufficiently weird LG can easily knock me out of my target range. I can just picture turning the page to G4 with 7 min left - perhaps I was off pace in G1-G3 - only to find a "miscellaneous" game everyone'…

Hey @Thoughtful, I'm actually not familiar with that part of the curriculum, sorry to say. It's a unique connective in that it's broken into two pieces, whereas the other truth functions (not, and, or) are solitary. That's why I can't say whether "n…
