@"hosny.yhm" you're not wrong, but the reason the answer is over-inclusive with "ever uses words ambiguously" instead of "sometimes" is because this is a sufficient assumption question and not a necessary assumption.

I just took PT83 yesterday, and will probably take a recent retake a couple days before the exam (similar to what David mentions in the podcast link above), just to kind of …
I also fell for D, even though I knew C strengthen, but my reasoning was that D had "most" so it meant it would be a stronger candidate for the ice cooling the atmosphere. This is, of course, if you read the comparative conclusion in terms of HOW MU…
Then conclusion that there was more mercury in fish in the 1880s than today is supported by two sources of data -- the amount of mercury in bird's feathers today, and the amount of mercury in stuffed birds from the 1880s. The second premise is that …
There's a lesson on embedded conditionals that might be good to review:
https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/mastery-embedded-conditional/
This isn't the same kind of embedded conditional, but I think a similar thought process is required to really ma…
I agree with @drbrown2 (especially on how the first two sentences aren't really that important compared to the last two) -- I think what's more important than simply translating is just understanding the general argument, and then translating the re…
@TheDeterminedC pretty much covers everything one might need to know. The only thing I would add is that when you decide on a pace, or at least a set of things you're going to do per passage (i.e. low res summary, eliminate wrong answers, go back to…
@hlsat180 points out the assumption being made, which is that deep carbon deposits can't have biomarkers, so there's no way this is what made petroleum.
I think the more interesting thing is why E is wrong, and it's so sneaky -- characteristic of t…
As I'm prepping for June, I think the difference between the older and newer tests is really only possible to "feel" or notice when you're just blasting through timed sections in one "era" for a while and then switch to the newer tests (70+). Becaus…
I just briefly glanced over the game, and don't see a "either/or" rule, but I think you mean this?
https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/why-is-or-so-confusing/
"Or" rules I always circle or pay extra attention to because we're so used to seeing "Not b…
You are definitely not alone! Especially when studying for something as drawn out as this, at least I've definitely had points where I've felt like "I mean I put in all this time, but why am I not improving?" or "If I get a hard passage or a game th…
I think you misunderstood the flaw in the argument, which is that just because UV light is correlated with attracting insects (for mating or food or whatever) that doesn't necessarily mean that there's a causal relationship. The argument is saying t…
I recently took PT 79 too and didn't do so hot on the RC lol
There are noticeable times where anxiety kind of throws me off my game, but for that RC, I think the lacquer passage and the last passages were pretty hard, and I think the former was har…
I think in the beginning there is very little value to timed practice because, as you liken it to sprinting (though I'm not a sprinter/know nothing about track), without starting with the right form and baseline strength/knowledge, you're just going…
The issue here is that we won't know which wills are more recent and which one is the most recent. The proposal is that we write on each will which one it supersedes. So this solves the first problem (identifying between two wills which one is more …
I was also confused -- I think this ultimately comes down to negating a conditional statement. When they say the precept was violated, we can take that to mean the conditional statement is negated: if the original statement is A -> B, then A ->…
This was a rough question just because of the terminology. I think the biggest hurdle is just understanding what the stimulus is saying. In this case, I was particularly confused about what they meant by "testing" the gamma thing. But basically, tod…
@"Logic Gainz" truth lol
Also stuck in a similar position, and I agree, I think efficiency is key, as well as really deep diving in your BR to find any conceptual mistakes. I think it really just comes down to how fast can you rip apart arguments, …
Currently in the same situation, and the advice above is great. The only thing I would add is that searching for a job can really add to the anxieties the LSAT already gives you, so make sure to exercise self-care in meditation or otherwise not bein…
If you're talking about the hardest couple of questions in a section, I'm usually okay narrowing it down to two and just gambling from there (it's unlikely I'm going to figure it out anyway, so time is better spent on other questions). But for quest…
There was a similar discussion a couple days ago: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/comment/136814
And here's the link to the Post-CC Webinar: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/
I would say con…
I think you may be overthinking things when it comes to precedence of properties regarding long/short/duration etc. A key factor of this stimulus is the way referential phrasing works with " descriptive labels of short/long." It's referring to their…
I would agree with the above -- as a paralegal myself, I really don't think you need that much more exposure than part time would allow. It's a great experience for the exposure and people you meet, but in terms of actual skills and self-development…
Update -- just got the book and read the first couple of chapters. I thought the first section on how the LSAT stimuli are designed to be hard to read was really interesting, but then kind of felt like I already knew the rest of the stuff about "rel…
