I think you and I had mirror problems with this question. I actually did not understand the flaw. I looked at the flaw here as two folded: it concludes drop out rate on the basis of survey data that indicated high school graduates. This seems to m…
@"Aaron Frank" there is a thread, I will tag you in in shortly. I wanted to make a list in more depth. Categorizing what the LSAT was asking us in these questions.
I'm in the process of categorizing the appearance of every question that involves a calculation as we speak. What I hope to garner from a collection of these are the skills and strategy needed to tackle any such future appearance of these questions…
@jkatz1488 I started really really basic my friend. I typed: "what is a denominator" into YouTube. There is a ton of resources out there to help with these things.
A couple of questions that might help in diagnosing what is happening here: your initial average of -5 on LR, how many total test was that average drawn from?
Second, are these scores from preptests next to each other in order? Meaning, have you …
There are 3 things that have helped me with these questions:
Powerscore's LR book number and percentage chapter
The explanations on 7Sage
Supplemental studies that I have found on Youtube
I actually did more than 20 of these questions in one sit…
Excellent, excellent advice by @twssmith @jknauf and @TimLSAT180
A variety of approaches here that have a similar thread through them: reviewing questions and taking them apart for analysis can be very beneficial.
This is difficult to call. I normally don't dispense advice on what to do after taking the exam or what to do with applications because I have yet to cross that bridge myself. So to preface my remarks, I should acknowledge that this is what I pers…
In addition to the above comments, you might find a recent post on this matter instructive. It can be found here:

The time you spend per question on an LR section will be distributed across a range. 84 seconds is simply the average of a 35 minute section divided by 25 questions. On a real-deal timed PT you will be banking time on the easy questions to expend …
Eventually, one can build up an arsenal of understanding of flaws, and once you have assimilated them into your understand you will recognize variations on the flaws. You know you are making progress when you can quickly and efficiently eliminate w…
From my experience a high percentage of flaw questions are "cookie cutter" flaws: things arguments do over and over again. I believe no other question type on the LSAT can one benefit more from remembering an older variation on the flaw in front of…
In order to better assist you, can you please reference the exact lesson that you are asking about? I would need to take a closer look.
Thank you

Third point: game progress for me is a constant effort, it ebbs and flows. I have tested myself on PT C once every 5-6 weeks or so for an honest barometer of where I am. PT C is in my estimation the single hardest set as a whole in LSAT history. …
Unfortunately, from everything that I have gathered, I don't think there would be much of a chance that the LSAC will cancel yours/the other test takers' scores because of the incident as relayed on this thread, if you report it. It is also my unde…
The definition falls within the LSAT's concept of most. Essentially, this argument is valid argument form number 5 in the lessons. If you are reading this, the valid argument forms are absolutely worth a look/review of at least once per week. Kn…
Now, there is a second layer to this question in my estimation. I have only been able to identify what I think might be going on here 2 other times on the LSAT. I think what we have here is a question where the informality we have all spent hours …
I should start by saying that I don't think this was a really solid question that the LSAC gave us here. I think you have a valid point that when studying for this exam, we are so attuned to specific language and the scope of specific language that…
