I wish I found you sooner for this April LSAT. I’m trying to watch as many videos as I can of yours, your very easy to follow!!! And show quicker strategies.
Good luck on the test! Make sure to do ~10-15 minutes of warmup an hour or two before the test. An easy LG and two or three LR questions from the first 5 of a section.
Can you help me understand a LG rule? Not this particular game, but test 73, game 2. It’s 5 speakers at a conference and they give speeches in the Rose room or Gold room. Here is one of the rules: If Long speaks in the Gold room, then Xiao and Zimmerman speak in the Rose room. Here is how I diagrammed it: if Lg --> Xr and Zr. Then I did the contrapositive: if X and Z are not in the Rose room, then L is not in the Gold room, and since there are only two options, then if X and Z are not in the Rose room that must mean they are in the Gold room. So, if Xg and Zg --> Lr. Is this correct? My understanding of this rule then, is that X and Z can never be in the same room as L. Is that right?
This question is unrelated to this video. Just wanted to know if you would advise doing the writing section of the LSAT after completing the actual test. I know they won’t release scores until that portion is finished, but would it be advisable? It’s tempting because it would be a relief to have the test out of the way to then focus on the writing section.
Hello again, regarding the rule about the speakers in the rose room or the gold room, I see now I messed up. I deduced that L, X and Z could never all be in the same room as each other. But, in fact they can! All three can be in the rose room together. It’s just that all three can never be in the gold room together. Is that correct? Based on your hearted comment, I thought my initial reasoning was correct, but it wasn’t. I realized this after doing another game with basically the same rule. Six kitchen appliances will be demonstrated by one of two people: Taylor or Zulla. If the grinder is by Taylor then the mixer and rotisserie are by Zulla: if Gt --> Mz and Rz. And the contrapositive = if Mt and Rt --> Gz. Now I see that believing that M and R can never be with G is wrong. They can all be demonstrated by Zulla. Is this correct?
Sorry, I wrote a reply to the other one that I can see didn't go through. Your analysis in this one is correct -- in the Gold/Rose room game, L can't be in the Gold Room with X or with Z. But they could all be in the Rose room together. Similarly, here, G can't be with M or Z with Taylor. But they can all be with Zulla.

Yes, there's no reason to do it before the test. As long as you do it in the week after the test you should get your score back on time.
