@Bamboosprout said: IMO, NA don't have any direct relationship with the flaw. It may or may not fix it, or even need to address it. It's good to have an idea of what the flaw is, but recognizing the flaw is not the same thing as prephrasin…

@MindyKale This is actually uncanny. I literally just had this realization a moment ago. As I was reviewing a recent take, I noticed a certain type of error I was making on grouping games, and that led me to realize that instead of just noting the p…

@DivineRaze said: @Shrilaraune You should definitely prephrase NA questions. The assumptions are easy to figure out if you pay attention to the arguments reasoning. I wholeheartedly agree. I'm actually really good at figuring out assumptions…

@Alex said: @Shrilaraune said: Hi there! So I'm still trying to answer this question and could use some help! Lots of different sources, including 7sager and the Trainer, suggest I find the flaw in the argument if I can, befor…

@Ohnoeshalpme said: For NA questions, you shouldn't be pre-phrasing because NAs can be virtually infinite. In general, it is useful to understand the flaws in an argument because they can give you an idea of what to look for in the answer choi…

@"Cant Get Right" Hey there! Thanks for getting back to us! I'd love it if you could elaborate on this process! Maybe with an example questions? Thank you!

Did @"Cant Get Right" ever get back to you on this? I'd love an answer too!

@"Rule No 8" said: I have noticed a pattern in some correct answer choices. They are the opposite of what was stated. For example, (and this is an easy made up example to clarify what I am saying) if the author of the passage says they are tal…

@MindyKale said: @Shrilaraune said: When I started my LSAT journey, RC was the section I was least concerned about. I finished all the passages, and would get maybe -5. It was something I could see improving with time. Then I did a…

@Nicolekh said: Hi- So what I did is I quickly jotted down the flawed logic of the argument. Then I go to existential vs universal quantifiers. For example, the argument contains no 'some' or 'many' existential quantifies, so I take out any AC…

@Nicolekh said: Hi! Its good to ask questions and get clarification- don't worry about how much you are posting, we are all in the same boat:) So let's recap the question. We know this is a NA question. The core of the stimulus is: …

@BlindReviewer said: @Nicolekh sums it up nicely, and just to add in: It might be helpful to rewatch JY's video in the curriculum about Necessary Assumption questions because D is very clearly not an NA but could be seen as a kind of Suff…

Hey there, I know this is a super old request, but I figure I'd put in my two cents for future generations to find. I actually went with A when I took this test timed. At the time I was between A and C. I went with A because it seemed to me that …

@MindyKale and @"Lucas Carter" Thanks for responding! Both of your responses make sense to me actually and seem pretty intuitive. The next phase of my experiment is really to see if either of these notations work with the actual question. I've read …

@"Logic Gainz" said: D gives us an irrelevant comparison! We know that in both scenarios, the average payout is lower than the cost - thereby losing us money - except it's okay to be at a loss with insurance but for some reason it's not okay f…

@BlindReviewer Thank you so much for taking the time! This makes so much more sense!

Okay, Third time's the charm. I took a proper nap and came back to this. Your responses have been fantastic and super patient given my previous inability to explain the source of my consternation in language we both share as long time lsat prepper…

YOU CAN IGNORE THIS AND READ THE NEXT POST @BlindReviewer said: It's interesting because what you say: And so at this point I'm almost not sure what I should tackle. Do I tackle the fact that the author's conclusion doesn't address …

@BlindReviewer Thank you so much! This is wonderful! I think part of my confusion (and it is still there) is that there are three different discussions happening? 1. Economists say financial rewards are the strongest incentive 2. Author says, no…

@"Leah M B" said: @Shrilaraune Re: the BR score, I haven’t really thought about it this way, but yes as far as LG goes, I think a super high or Perfect BR score doesn’t really indicate a whole lot. Most people can get perfect scores untimed on…

@"Leah M B" said: There's definitely some good advice here. The one thing I want to convey though is that timing being a problem really means that you still have work to do on the fundamentals and understanding things. LG in particular is not …

@keets993 said: So you should be able to the two sheets and what your hands are doing and clear enough so you can see if you're making markings, indicating support structure, eliminating ac, etc. I'd also recommend making a very detailed sprea…

@lsatplaylist said: Maybe consider upgrading to Ultimate. You'll get more materials that way. I've never regretted upgrading. Thanks for the suggestion! I was actually an Ultimate customer waaaay back in the day, so I know what you mean. …

@keets993 said: Do you videotape yourself and then watch the footage back after a PT/timed section? That might help pinpoint which questions you're spending too much time on so that you can be more cognizant the next time you're doing a PT/tim…
