It sounds like you’ve mistaken the conclusion (last sentence of the stimulus) for a premise and you think answer C attacks the second half, which it does.
Conclusion: If we reduce production costs so operas can be funded by tickets and individua…
People without an LSAT score get some also. Don't read much into it. If you're interested, happily take advantage of that fee waiver.
Also, know that there are hidden application fee waivers. Sometimes you'll be surprised with an application fee wa…

"For dates when you canceled the score, the form doesn’t allow you to type in CAN or something to that effect in the score field (really, that whole section needs an overhaul), so for canceled scores,…
Yes, it is separate. When you apply, you will have to indicate if you're applying for full or part time. There are a certain number of seats available for each program and part-time usually has slightly lower admissions criteria for LSAT score and G…

I chuckled from just reading the title because I didn't anticipate this topic appearing on the test. I've never seen this question before. This PT is from 1992 so subject matter fits. The derogatory term doesn't …
I'll add some more info about strategy. This assumption question type is rare (one or none) on the more modern tests; nevertheless, worth learning about.
1. Read and analyze the stimulus
Take time to analyze the argument. Try to identify the bigge…
Look at the phrase you pulled from the stimulus. It's helpful to look for words/phrases that indicates the type of reasoning used. There's language there that indicates causation (but not sufficient/necessary). Do you see it?
Tells you the difficulty level from 1-5 (easiest to hardest).
Each corresponds to a specific section. This is additional information beyond the difficulty level noted for each question. This is helpful in anaylzing your performance on a test.

Your first interpretation is correct. At least 2 must be sandwiched between F and R, regardless of which one comes first. I've never seen your second interpretation for such a rule. Stick with the first.
At least 2 are after F AND before R.

Whenever I'm not sure about the logic or how to interpret it, I ask myself, "What traditional logic indicator words could I use instead of 'whatever'?" Consider synonyms (keep the part of speech in mind). Then see if I can translate it to an if/then…
In short, the argument says they should use the new Salmonella test because it’s better.
My strategy for weaken questions:
This is a question-type that challenges me because the gap typically doesn’t jump out at me. I usually have to narrow it dow…
Here's how I thought through this one. Let me know if you had similar/different thoughts about C.
Conclusion (Proponents):The odds are very high it’s not likely to get a match just by chance.
Premise (Assumption): Each part of the pattern is indep…
Sounds like you're in a tough spot. The reality is you cannot cram for this exam. My only advice is to revise your goal score or revise your test date.

Re-do the game board! It's not enough just to know how to do a game or get a question right. Compare your thought process of the redo to your timed thought process. What would you do differently. No matter how comfortable I feel with games, I'm alwa…
As long as your notation is clear to you, it doesn't matter. However, I would definitely go with the Powerscore notation. It's easy to get confused, have a slip of memory, and miss slight shifts in language in answer choices under timed conditions.

Nope, you're not missing the point. You're almost there. I also identified the ad hominem flaw in the stimulus and was able to narrow it down to one answer. Ad hominem is present in E, but not C.
For parallel flaw, it is more important for the answ…

Search the "Study Groups" discussions. Most welcome new people. The scheduling of meetings is usually down outside this forum through some type of group chat such as groupme.
You're fine. It sounds like you're spending time on the review part which is more effective than rushing it and just jumping to the next topic so you can say that you've gone through the material. I don't think the schedule is realistic about the ti…
