@Pacifico @"Jonathan Wang" Thanks guys! I think it's pretty clear the sound vs. tone thing. But, is it fair to say that for B to be correct, the arguments must share an explicitly stated premise? I figured the "what's more" was referencing Jane…

@pritisharma Political debates on TV are even more infuriating to watch than before. EDIT/addition: A benefit has been rewatching some of my favorite shows like The Wire, The Sopranos, or Seinfeld and catching the subtleties/brilliance of the wr…

The first statement is definitely flawed: Librarian--->enjoys spending time organizing books. Susan enjoys spending time organizing books. Therefore, librarian. This is a common invalid reasoning form X--->Y. Y. Therefore X. The gist of …

@nye8870 My bad; typo. It should be question 23
-
@nicole.hopkins Time was ticking and I had question 26 to still do. I eliminated all of the answer choices, so I had to just pick one and move on.
-
@nye8870 Thanks for the kind words! And thanks for your diligent responses! This is a very hard question, and I have read through A a few more times; my only reasoning for eliminating it is the fact that the argument doesn't really establish a cor…
-
@Hibiscus Thanks! I get that that's the flaw (SOME statement vs. a necessary condition), but my beef is the way the answer choice is presented. How does the argument fail to consider what D says? Isn't answer choice D the premise for the conclusi…

PT 55. Curve is -9. I took it yesterday, and it was the lowest PT score in a month (by 4 points). First LR section is brutal, last 2 RC passages are impossible (especially the 3rd one where I went -4), and game 4 is really hard (somehow pulled a …
-
@c.janson35 Thanks! But doesn't this seem more like a necessary assumption rather than a sufficient assumption? After reading your explanation, I do see why A is the best answer choice (since it links up efficiency and effectiveness), but I don't…

Conditional logic and causality are two different things. For one thing, causality has a time/temporal aspect to it. For X to cause Y to happen, the cause (X) must have occurred before the effect (Y). Conditional logic does not imply this time asp…

I know this doesn't exactly answer the question, but one thing that I commonly due (not so much anymore since the more PTs you do, the better you get at managing your time) is when I get to the last "fold on the exam" for LR (i.e. questions 20ish-25…

Smoking? LSAT causes lung cancer confirmed Seriously though, don't start smoking. Eat some carbs, drink some coffee, and meditation are all good. If your mind starts wandering during the exam, take a 3-5 second break during the exam to take a re…

@DumbHollywoodActor Just a suggestion, but do you want to throw in superprep II that was release a few months ago? Since it is a "newer" exam due to the comparative passage in it and since there are no video solutions for it, it might be valuable…

@aamirvir I am a CPA as well and took the exam the September prior (September 2014); my score was a full 10 points lower than my average PT scores (which were in the 170s). I can definitely relate to your situation. I decided to go back an get a…
-
@c.janson35 Thanks! Is this breakdown accurate do you think? It's pretty rough, but I think it gets the idea across. "Many human diseases are genetically based" translates to Human Disease SOME Human gene. "Each of the genes ID'd in cats are in …

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/ Definitely memory method some of these as well. The Volokh Conspiracy is the best law blog on the Internet. Must read for all lawyers and aspiring lawyers.

@nye8870 But we need to #maketheLSATgreatagain LOL

Thanks! Right on. Excuses don't get me that 170+ score. Good habits do.
-
@DumbHollywoodActor So, answer D is denying something that contradicts the "sheer economics" is the only criteria that is relevant? That makes sense. The only thing I still don't really understand is why does employment need to increase? Why ca…
-
This question sucks. I did watch JY's video, and now my head hurts. @c.janson35 Thanks! I do understand that D is definitely an imperfect answer choice and that no good reason isn't parallel, but in answer choice A, does "demonstrating that the…

I BR over two days. I do it a little differently since some of my exams are retakes (I studied a lot about a year ago for last September's LSAT and completely choked, so I took a year to get my masters/took time away from the LSAT; I am actually su…

Gotta say, #8 was my face after the first time seeing a logic game...and then finding out I had to do 4 of them haha

Just googled it and I found this: http://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED469242.pdf Holy shit. If you think the LSAT is bizarre now...

@nye8870. I see what you are getting at, but the principle is a comparison. How is it relevant that the most people can assemble the thing easily without looking at the instructions? Couldn't the people think it is very easy to assemble and not l…

Honestly, it depends on what your target score is. If you target 160 or less, I think it is definitely doable. 160 is an excellent score and you will be able to possibly negotiate some money with that/get accepted to a good school. However, are y…

thanks!

@nye8870 Thanks for the response! I still have an issue with the fact that the new dominant party (the insurgent party that is now in power) will not stay in power if it doesn't address the disagreements. Specifically, the correct answer choice s…
