The line of questioning for these questions is too simple to made into something so complicated. This video complicates these questions to an unnecessary degree!

What's natural for one may not be easy for another. A teacher must find a concrete way to allow all students to arrive at the correct answer even if the initial learning stage seems redundant. What's important is that the results are consistent. Over time and practice, any concept can become second nature to all. An excellent teacher can erase any natural advantage enjoyed by some and deliver the same result to all.

I don't get it!

could the answer to a "must be true,except"

be must be false

[lsat179com]

Two answers will be correct to a "must be true, except"

1. The answer that Must be false.

2. The answer that Could be false (and could be true). In other words, it has a chance of being false but it doesn't HAVE To be false all the time.

Wow this is great!

You put princeton review and kaplan to shame : )

You are very kind. How can I  help you more?

the LSAT never asks "which of the following must be true/false, except"

it asks "all of the following must be true/false, except"

the way you word it in this video doesn't make sense.

It helps to write down what your looking for because sometimes you forget the "Except".

So if you want a Must Be True write mbt to remind you that is what you want.

such as:

cbt, cbf, mbf, mbt

Nice!

This is just the kind of systematic / skill building approach that I've been looking for. Glad to have found this! I mean you could develop some better terminology (state, mode, operator, or something) and graphical scheme (rather than a single axis labeled end - middle - end). Anyway, fine job explaining the basics for developing reaction through question-type recognition training. Very important for doing well on the LSAT.

Can I just point out that "Which one of the following is not necessarily true, except" and "Which one of the following must be true, except" is NOT even correct English (i.e. doesn't make any sense) and would never appear on an LSAT written by people who actually know the English language well! They might say "Each of the following could be true, except" or "Which one could be true?" but what you wrote/used in video makes no sense. Not even talking LSAT here, but just plain old English.

This may look complex, BUT in-fact, it does save time! Professional study tools look rather dull next to your technique.

cheers.

This is like busting out a book on quantam physics to explain why a car is faster than a tricycle. Good luck with that.

I get it, its just ridiculous. Its math without math.

The conversion with the word except is

Must be (X), except ----> Could be (opposite X)

ie Must be true, except ----> Could be false

Must be true and the could be switch, and the true/false switch
