In short no, you can't do this. But you have to be careful what your elements are. Say you have the argument you gave: Probably Not A--->Probably Not B Probably B--->Probably A is not a contrapositive because it doesn't mean the same thing …

http://www.onalytica.com/blog/posts/top-200-most-influential-economics-blogs/ A lot of people recommend the economist, but as a finance/econ major, a lot of their stuff is just OK (with the exception of Ryan Avent, who is great). I recommend picki…

@"Cant Get Right" A cave? No!

1.) Yes, that's what the conclusion means. "Without increasing" could mean staying the same or decreasing. If answer B had stated something about increasing anxiety, that would probably weaken the argument because it would be giving us data that s…

Here's our argument: To help us treat freshmen, we have noticed that those reporting the highest levels of time spent doing fun things also score the same on depression/anxiety tests as those who report the lowest levels of time spent doing fun thi…

No. Think of it like this: Not J-->T What can happen? J is in. J is out. T is in. T is out. If J is in, the rule is irrelevant. T can float in or out, which makes this "or" statement inclusive since it's OK for T to still be in. If J is…

Eh, it happens. I had my worst PT score in like 5 months a few weeks out from the June test.

@"Dillon A. Wright" said: d assume that unless LSAC sent out a mass email before the LSAT, people would be walking in to take their accommodations and get slapped in the face with the experimental section. I wonder when/how they contacted people a…

Your CAS is good for 5 years, too. @"Alex Divine" is right; the sooner, the better.

Strictly speaking, the distinction between a conditional statement and its contrapositive is arbitrary. Both mean the same thing, and determining which one is the "original" statement and which one is the "contrapositive" has a lot to do with the p…

"Feasible" means viable, so if answer C was talking about the plan's consequence, then it becomes attractive. But, answer C is talking about the plan's implementation, which is entirely feasible. It is possible to create such tax-incentives plans …

This question is sort of like a parallel reasoning question disguised as a principle question. We need to find out what the principle in the original argument is and then pick out an argument that uses that same principle. It's wrong to think that…

Tricky question; answer E wasn't really what I anticipated, but it's the best answer. The question asks us to describe G's response to J, so even if the "scientific explanation" describes something in J's argument, it doesn't help us answer the que…

Answer B is wrong because there is no new evidence, and there is no generalization. A isn't creating a generalization about what makes a good writer; A already has her definition set in stone. A does discredit C's evidence in two ways: C's criteri…

Those two statements don't contradict each other. It just so happens that we are living in the low probability period. If the first statement stated that it would be impossible to live in anything other than the high probability period, that would…

I sometimes go back and forth between ELSACK and L-S-A-C. I've always called it the ELSAT unless I'd get mad. Then I'd call it the LSHIT

This has always been one of my favorite questions ever to appear on the LSAT; good old Bayes' Rule. Here's a short paraphrase of the argument: In this community, what matters most is for the weather forecast for rain be correct. Most of the time, …

@"Cant Get Right" Yeah, the pdf ban is pretty stupid. I've thought about it a lot over the past few months, and the only thing I can come up with is either the LSAC is planning to just release these tests in the future at a higher price than they…
-
In short, answer B isn't really weakening the "most" part of the stimulus. It's instead weakening the argument as a whole. Here's the argument: Most of the best reps have engineering degrees but no experience. Thus, in the hiring process, we shou…

1.) To my understanding, an LLM requires a JD, so you'd have to either be out of law school or complete it as a part of a dual degree in law school. 2.) To my understanding, an LLB is an undergraduate degree. To get a JD, you have to apply to law …

Really, the only pattern that I've noticed is that per section, there will roughly be the same amount of As, Bs, Cs, Ds,and Es (about 5ish each). Powerscore did a blog post about this, too: https://www.powerscore.com/lsat/help/guessing.cfm http:…

This sort of reminds me of one of my tax law professors in my masters. No matter what, the answer to question 10 on any exam was C, just so he could say (10 is C; Tennessee) while explaining it the next day. It didn't matter if it was the hardest …

You have to consider the cost/benefits to you. If you take in Sept, you're out $50 and one of your 3 takes in 2 years. The benefit is you get to "feel" what test day is like, but I'm not sure how useful that is with the mindset that you will can…

@blah170blah said: The LSAT prepares you to think in a way that will benefit you in law school. haha I'd argue that the LSAT doesn't even do this all that well.

Essentially, there are two arguments, and then an analysis of their relationship to each other. Argument 1: 1.) The role of the supreme court is to protect human rights against government power. 2.) The constitution doesn't talk about all human rig…

I signed up for the Chicago one in November, but I'm on the fence about going. How many schools were there? Was it useful? I called the LSAC about the forums, but the guy on the phone didn't know anything about them.

Buy it now. It's good for 5 years (I think). It's used to simply the admissions process so you don't have to send your transcript, LORs, etc. to every school individually. I think most schools require you use it anyway.

@LSATKingsman you can look up the dates on the LSAT Explanation link here: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-explanations/

Excellent advice given. I think improvement in RC comes from applying the memory method to your blind review. For me, reviewing RC was the most time consuming section to review (that was intentional since I thought it was the hardest to improve). …

I built an Excel spreadsheet listing all the games that either gave me trouble (I was pretty liberal with what this meant: I thought it was hard; I took too much time; whatever) and games where I missed questions. Don't worry if the list gets huge:…
