Do you understand the form that goes A->B, A->C, therefore B some C? Assuming so, take the contrapositive of each premise you used above and compare the structure, and you'll have your answer.

I've been thinking about this and I've come to the following: The LSAT rewards pre-phrasing, but punishes tunnel vision, and the two are not mutually exclusive.

Let's say you and I are researchers. After months of research and experiments, we've just come up with conclusive evidence that any person who takes the LSAT turns into an insufferable human being within five years. At this time, we're the only two …

I don't have a good answer for you, but I do have a question - assuming such a resource existed, what would you look for in it/how would you like it to be structured/what would you like it to cover?

After attending this webinar, I expect my score to improve from 120 to 209. Josh, David, Daniel, and Nader promised!!!!!

Taking your story at face value, and not knowing any specifics, it seems pretty likely you'll get it. But LSAC can be inconsistent and weird about this stuff, so best to act like you don't have it until you have the approval letter in your hands.

Chiming in to say that tutor proficiency should always be priority #1. You should not settle on that simply for an in-person experience. Obviously if you can get both and you prefer in-person tutoring anyway, that's great. But if you have to choose,…

If all apples are bad, then candy is awesome. (A->B) -> C If candy is not awesome, then not all apples are bad. ~C -> ~(A->B) So now, your proposed inference: If candy is awesome and I have apples, then I have something bad. C and A -…

Whoever said there's no negation to a most statement is wrong. This is a classic example of memorizing vocabulary and failing to recognize the conceptual basis behind it. "Most" just means more than half. Let's say there's a pool of 100 puppies. I…

I'll be home in ~15 minutes. Feel free to drop in and ask any questions that you may have kicking around! I don't bite, promise.

@"Rigid Designator" That's an excellent lecture! For the rest of you who haven't seen it: Worth a watch. My problem with this whole thing (I know you didn't ask, but I have a big mouth) is that while medians might be how law schools are ranked, ev…

See here: http://outsidethelawschoolscam.blogspot.com/2015/12/tracking-dramatic-decline-of-lsat.html for a decent set of data. Whether you agree with the editorializing or not is irrelevant - the raw numbers are unmistakable and wholly uncontroversi…

I have a few hours to kill tonight. Any interest in an impromptu Q&A on Discord?

@quinnxzhang said: There's a somewhat famous story about Paul Cohen (mathematician) looking down on logicians and trivializing their work. In response, some logicians challenged him to answer one of the unsolved problems of logic at the time: is th…

LG really is just a dressed-up math problem because logic is just a branch of mathematics; just go look at any university course catalog for an abstract logic class and see what department it's classed under. As for why people say it - it's because…

If you have the resources to do so, you can sign up for December and see where you are three/four weeks from now. If you're not progressing like you want to be, eat the fee and push it back. You won't be too late for this cycle if you take Decembe…

There's some confirmation bias here. There are assuredly plenty of times where you narrow to two answer choices, pick one because you get that same gut feeling you mention above, and get it right, but you don't think about those because those aren't…

C'mon folks, Discord is fun! Wonderful real-time resource to bounce ideas off of others without having to set up a formal BR call, but it takes a critical mass of folks idling in there to make it work. Wonder if it would encourage folks to get in th…

@hlsat180 said: Trump transferred from Fordam to UPenn for college (and never went further) yet he consistently refers to his degree from "Wharton." Well, Wharton has an undergraduate program. Trump did, in fact, get his degree in finance from Wha…

Yet another person who thinks Steve Schwartz went to Columbia Law School. Can't even blame him for the "creative" wording in his bio, because clearly it's working. Good piece otherwise.

@coconutsberries Silly me, I had no idea you were the originator of that thread too. Perhaps I'd better explain myself a little bit more: Whatever explanations you trust, whether they be official or not (in the previous post I had a sample hierarc…

There was a similar discussion of this a while back, here: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/comment/52777. I weighed in there. Short version - if you're not, you should be. @"Dillon A. Wright" said: @"Jonathan Wang" is also an ins…

@twssmith said: If you don't mind elaborating - are you saying that you have found that every question should be reviewed no matter the level of confidence. Yes. The mere act of forcing articulation of things you think are self-explanatory deepen…

Where is that claim ever made in the stimulus? Can't support a statement that was never made.

For me, unequivocal yes. If you have time, you should read them all. And, in my opinion, you always have time. It is the most obviously worth-it use of time in all of LSAT preparation, in my opinion. First, how long does it take you to compare your…
