THIS HAS MADE FLAW QUESTIONS MAKE SO MUCH MORE SENSE I OWE YOU MY LIFE
Haaaaa
I've been suffering through studying today and this actually put me in a good mood again. 10/10 deserves an Oscar
this was the best lsat vid ive seen thus far, the little dad jokes and animation was beyond on point n did such a good job in holding attention on such a dry topic, y'all killed it (just like how i hope to kill flaw questions now)
haha, thanks for the love, go Seal Team Six on them boys.
This is your best LSAT lab yet! Thank you so much!
I've been studying relentlessly for my LSAT this June and every other video makes me wanna fall asleep. These LSAT Lab videos have been just what needed to keep my energy up while learning.
This is GREAT!! I feel much more confident at spotting flaws now and it really made me feel less hopeless about the test :)))
This video is AWESOME!!!! Literally a lifesaver and so funny and informative. Keep em coming!!!
I really like the diversity and inclusion this content entails. Thanks!
I love this especially basketball since I was a prior female baller!! Great job 📣📣🕹🕹🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏾❤️
I feel like it says something about my life that the best laugh I’ve had lately was watching this LSAT video. It’s just so good.
Definitely your best video yet . Greatly appreciate y’all putting these out for us 💯.
Thankyou! Lsat Lab. It's an amazing channel.
There couldn't be a more perfect video on flaws than this one! I could watch this for fun instead of studying. Bravo!
I never thought I would be laughing while studying for the exam. This was awesome!
I love this! It’s very helpful and entertaining. Thank you 🙏🏼
This is an amazing video. I am really bad at LSAT, but after watching this, I regained my confidence and believed that I should be able to handle those flaw questions single-handed. Thank you again for this video!
I loved it! Used creativity and helped us to memorize LSAT concepts easily. Thank you!
BEST educational video I've ever seen.
This is the most helpful LSAT lab video ever thank you!
Honestly, this was the best way to put it for me and I went and practiced on khan academy all night and have only gotten 2 wrong. This is such an efficient way to explain topics!!! Thank you
This video is a great study aid for the LSAT.
So far I have mastered the : Resolve the issue, weaken/ strengthen, necessary sufficient, justify the conclusion, logic games and reading comprehension. But the identifying the flaw questions affect my grades significantly. I noticed I always get 7 wrong in the arguments section and it’s always the flaw questions.
This was entertaining while being so helpful! Awesome
Video!
you GOATED on this video ! I have my lsat tomorrow
How did you do?
This is such a fun video!! Thanks for making this material which sometimes seems so dull, really entertaining and understandable.
Thank you so much for making these, I wish I found your channel earlier!!
Amazing video I just started my LSAT prep and this really explains things extremely well while being entertaining. Good job!
I loved the style of the video, it made the flaws so much easier to understand !!
Excellent.............Excellent..................Excellent! Very well made.
Thanks a lot! This actually really calmed me down before taking my FLEX test lol. Jer-bear was my fav part.
Great video.. Can you please explain difference between Commonly correct vs usually wrong ( 22:26)
By commonly correct we mean that when you see these flaws in the answer choices, they turn out to be correct more often than not. While the ones that are usually wrong turn out to be incorrect answers when you see them in the choices.
Thank you so much for making this video!
Didn’t know studying LSAT could be this fun
This is great! Thank you, Patrick :)
This is awesome! Thank you!
i love this!!!! Helps my lsat studies stay entertaining!
Thank you! Great video 👍🏾
Crazy Work, Phew!
Woow! Impeccable! Insightful! Thank you !
Very very helpful video! thank you ❤
This was amazing and I need more! You helped me soooo much!! Amazing content!!
Best LSAT lesson video ive ever seen lol. subscribed!
your channel has helped me way more than the service I AM PAYING FOR has ----yeah that is right I am calling you out Kaplan
Hey LSAT LAB! I love your content! looking forward to logic games and reading comp!
This is the best commentated lsat video I have seen by far
Great video!!!!!! It helps the best with flaw reasoning!
Thank you SO much! Very helpful video.
This was a great video, thanks.
Incredibly well done
Thank you for this amazing, entertaining and funny video! I really enjoyed.
These videos are so freakin funny, understandable, and easy to remember. THANK YOU guys so much for taking the time to make them.
Thanks a lot! Glad they're working for you.
Excellent video! The improvisational tone keeps things exciting. 😅
this video is SO ENGAGING compared to the ones I use in an lsat program I paid for lol, I love it!! Thanks for sharing
I have been stressed studying for my LSAT and these have helped tremendously. I’ve laughed and truly enjoyed learning the content. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
That's awesome to hear, thank you. Good luck, good luck, good luck.
This is a very educational and hilarious video. Half the time I was distracted by how good the quality was and how well everything flowed together. Awesome job!
Don't worry, it is an unsustainable level of quality. Crappier future videos will be easier to concentrate on. :) Thanks for watching!
If I could get all of my LSAT study videos in this form, I could ace the exam! Thank you 😀
I am watching this before my exam and this is the best video for the final review ever!
this is great thank you so much!!!
Very VERY good explanation!
Thank you
Amazing.
This video gave me a BREAKTHROUGH regarding flaw answers that mention confusing sufficient with necessary, I could never wrap my head around it until you made the simple statement that it's fooling up the conditional logic! I know it sounds so simple but it was so helpful, especially with the visuals accompanying the explanation (3:52). Thanks!
Also explicitly stated at 5:03 !!! Amazing!
This is GOLD! I love the humor, the cussing, the rawness and examples. You’re perfect omg ! Did you fall from LSAT HEAVEN? 🙏🏽
haha, thank you for the encouragement. yes, I am a fallen angel, and let me tell you that LSAT Heaven is a surprisingly raw place, with an unexpected level of cussing and examples!
This was fun and informative. Thanks! Can you please use all of these voices in your next class XD
This was really funny. Thanks!!
I literally love this so much
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you so much for this! Such a useful vid for recognizing flaws correctly.
You're welcome! We're glad you liked it.
Incredible.
These fallacies @4:00 are actually called Affirming the Consequent (necessary condition) and Denying the Antecedent (sufficient condition). We basically are doing to the other what are supposed to do with each condition (either we affirm the antecedent or deny the consequent for it to be logically valid).
Yeah a bunch of recurring LSAT flaws have fancier names (often latin). For example, I've heard students say that Part vs. Whole is called the Fallacy of Composition.
But LSAT doesn't ever use language like consequent and antecedent, so we stick to language the test likes to use.
I like your notion of "we basically are doing to the other what we are supposed to do with each condition", though, I'll probably steal that at some point. :)
@@LSATLab You are definitely right about the language, I just remember learning that in my formal logic class, and it helped me understand necessary and sufficient conditions a lot.
And steal away! It’ll be nice to know I helped my helpers, haha!
I wish all the videos on lsatlab were like this one, haha kidding. Great work, guys!!
Its good to mix it up now and then :)
Best video on youtube
If I ever taught high school logic, this would immediately become my go to classroom instruction aid.
Thank god I’m not a high school logic teacher 😮💨
This was amazing! Basketball references were on point.
haha, thanks! I literally just logged into UA-cam to see my nightly NBA highlights over a dish of ice cream, and this comment is the cherry on top.
This was fun.
OMG, my being a former sports reporter, you just made understanding flaws a slam dunk! Okay, maybe not exactly a slam dunk, but it was certainly the most interesting and engaging flaws lesson ever! I love sports, especially basketball. Anymore "basketball" lessons in the series?
Haha. If I had my druthers, every teaching example would be basketball related, because bball is the background radiation of my brain. But, sadly, other students hate sports and roll their eyes and mentally check out every time I use a basketball/sporting analogy. Sigh ... if only we didn't have to try to reach lots of different styles of learners. :)
This must’ve took hard work to make, thank you
I know Patrick had a lot of fun making it!
Thanks for trying to make the learning process a bit fun - everyone knows how boring it can get
Please make more VIDEOS LIKE THIS!!!!
Thanks, we're trying. As you can imagine, they're more time consuming to make (and when it gets close to a test, we usually have to spend 95% of our time on student support), but there are a couple more like this that we recently made for Reading Comp.
I really appreciate this! Because I have taken the lsat two times and did poorly. I will be retaking it for the third time this April, and I believe with content like this, it will be my last! So, please do for ALL the sessions if possible. Happy New Year!!!
Hi. Thanks for your video. Can you clarify what 22:23 “commonly correct and usually wrong” referring to? Thanks
6 of the 10 famous flaws are worth taking fairly seriously as the CORRECT answer. They really are the problem with the argument, a decent percent of the time.
But 4 of them (Circular, Equivocation, Self-Contradiction, Inappropriate Appeal) are very rarely the correct answer. We mainly learn these flaws because they show up so frequently as an incorrect answer choice.
LSAT Lab thanks so much
The only bad part about this video is that it ends
Thank you this was so helpful. Just one question, maybe someone else can chime in. At 22:37 there's a chart showing 5 flaws that are commonly correct vs another 5 that are wrong. What about them is usually wrong and what is right? Is it saying like the answer choice saying it's a like a sampling flaw ?
Yeah, I struggled to think of a pithy way to communicate that, sorry. Mainly, I needed a 5 and 5 split for the sake of visual organization, but of the 10 famous flaws profiled in this video, 6 of them come up fairly frequently as the actual flaw (Nec/Suff, Causal, Part/Whole, Sampling, Ad Hom, Unproven/Proven False) and 4 of them primarily show up as incorrect answer choices (Circular, Equivocation, Self-Contradiction, Inappropriate Appeal).
@@ohthatpatrick949 Ah thank you
im here to consult....foreboding
This!
Are these 10 flaw just for flaw questions or can they be used for other questions too
The famous flaws are mainly just for Flaw and Parallel Flaw. The BIG exception is the Causal flaw, which dominates Strengthen / Weaken / Evaluate questions. You'll also see Sampling tested in the Assumption Family, and of course Nec vs. Suff flaw (conditional logic errors) are tested any time the test gives us conditional logic.
When you say that certain question types are "commonly correct" or "usually wrong," what do you mean by that? Are these questions usually answered wrong by LSAT takers? Are the arguments in the blurbs usually wrong or correct?
Yeah, that's definitely the least clear part of the video, sorry. What we mean is that some of these Famous Flaws are commonly the actual problem with the argument we're reading and are thus the correct answer (Nec vs. Suff, Causal, Ad Hom, Unproven v. Proven False, Part/Whole).
Others are almost always incorrect answers (they're very rarely the flaw that's happening on a Flaw question). Circular, Internal Contradiction, Equivocation, Inappropriate Appeal.
Sampling is right on the borderline. It shows up a LOT as a trap answer, but it also IS the real problem (thus, the correct answer) a decent amount of the time.
Does that make sense?
@@LSATLab Yes. That clears up a lot. Thank you! This was an amazing video
Ensure, implies, leads to and will are on the left or right side of the arrow?
Those all basically act like the Arrow itself, so any idea coming after any of those terms would be on the Right side of the arrow.
X --> Y
X ensures Y
X implies Y
X leads to Y
X will Y
@@LSATLab I asked my questioned weird, sorry. So these are necessary condition indicators?
@@2012staytrue Yes, one can think of them as introducing the necessary term in the relationship.
Doubt: Can you elaborate more on false choice and Intent v Outcome flaws?
I didn't quite get them.
They're both super rare, so it's cool to not know them.
False Choice means the author is acting like there are only options, but he never actually established here are only two options.
(e.g. Taking a limo and taking a helicopter are two ways we could get to Vegas in time for the show. Since all the helicopters are booked, we'll have to take a limo.)
Intent vs. Outcome, aka Motive vs. Result, is when an author assumes that whatever thing happened, whatever the outcome of a certain action was must have been the person's intent.
Like if I said something that was meant to be complimentary about Lisa's shirt, but Lisa thought I was making fun of it and felt bad, this LSAT author would say, "Clearly, Patrick's comment about her shirt was intended to make her feel bad".
@@LSATLab I see......thankyou very much.....I understand them now.....
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Lol 22:51caught me off guard.
how do I put this lightly. lsat lab man I am in love with you
haha, you have a velveteen touch with words.
17:42 LOL Biden did pick Kamala Harris for vp
haha, excellent point. Umm, it was Susan Rice? (whom no one would call a Social Democrat, but that's neither here nor there)
Question: I still do not understand the difference between Part v. Whole and Flaw. Please elaborate further.
Part vs. Whole is a type of flaw. It's one of the 10 famous flaws discussed.
Did you mean "Part vs. Whole" as opposed to "Sampling"?
@@LSATLab Yes
@@yashraj8827
P vs. W is when the author thinks, "Since this trait is true of each part of X, it must be true of X as a whole", or when they think "Since this trait is true about the whole X, it must be true about each part of X."
WHOLE to PART
"Since this Ferrari is way more expensive than other cars, the floormat must be way more expensive than other floormats".
PART to WHOLE
"Since each cheerleader is unable to lift the back of this Ferrari off the ground, the cheerleading squad must be unable to lift the back of this Ferrari off the ground."
SAMPLING
"Wanda, who is a cheerleader, isn't able to lift the back of this car off the ground. Therefore, all cheerleaders on the squad must be unable to lift the back of this car off the ground."
With Part to Whole, the objection is "even though a single cheerleader couldn't do it, it might be possible for a GROUP of cheerleaders to do it".
With Sampling, the objection is "even though THAT cheerleader couldn't do it, it might be possible for SOME OTHER cheerleader to do it."
It was funny but I got confused somehow 🤓
Also, why would that be appropriate here?
H3O! H3O! H3O! Hahahahaha
I love how much you hate consultants
Was that a Princess Bride reference I heard? Was the guy in jail doing part of the YMCA dance? Bwaaa ha ha the socializing democrats! Good stuff!
so funny!
H3O H3O H3O H3O H3O :D
