JGoody lives under the GW bridge.

EDIT: GT, do you live in Westchester? I thought JGoody lived in the Island.

It's nice down there. I run under the bridge every morning. Sometimes I run over it, but I typically try to stay as far away from NJ as possible.

eta: I think that answers your question.

Oh, okay. So you're from NJ.

I never got the NJ hate. And no, I don't live in Jersey.

I've been running through every RC passage and I found one which I think is especially difficult. PT 53 passage 2. Anyone else find this passage very difficult? I defintely did not get it, even after having done the passage multiple times before.

English common law?
Yeah, that passage is the worst.

Back from non-TLS land! (Damn you midterms and the shortest weekends ever).

So I have an LSAT related (stupid) question... how do you all approach "most strongly supported" questions different than "must be true" questions?

Actually, yes. MSS questions don't tend to be as clear cut and logically perfect as MBT questions. Sometimes the answer to an MSS question can fall more in the territory of a strengthen question, with the caveat being that you're not really supporting a gap in reasoning (MSS stims are not generally arguments), but rather you're looking for the statement that would be most strengthened by the statements in the stim. The subtle difference between that and MBT is that is doesn't necessarily follow. It's just supported.

So kind of like a hybrid of MBT and Strengthen?

guys anyone done PT 68 game no.4? Pretty ridiculous.. basically froze up got 2 correct missed the rest lol.

30 minute 7sage explaination ..

Yeah, definitely the most time consuming game ever. I'm not sure if it's possible to finish that one in less than 12-13 minutes. I just pray we don't get a game like that.

No not at all. These are inferences questions not assumption questions. Get the strengthen idea out of your head. FOr all intents and purposes these are MBT questions basically. You are just picking what can most logically be inferred from the stim. W no premise conclusion there is no argument to strengthen

Now wait a minute, I think the strengthen comparison had merit, as long as you realize that it's working in the opposite direction. The correct answer choice in a MSS question is supported by the statements in the stim, rather than the other way around. But it's more similar to strengthen than MBT in the sense that the correct answer is not always logically necessary.

[Colonel_funkadunk]

Tbf GT I haven't read what you posted as I'm at the gym and won't read ANYThing over a sentence. Just saw MSS and strengthen. I'm sure what GT said had merit But DK BC DIDNT READ

[Colonel_funkadunk]

Stolen from FA:

[WorldsCollide]

I guess I'll just drill MSS and see which approach gets me the most correct
