Strengtheners can be deceitfully subtle. There have been many times when I've thought each answer choice was irrelevant to the argument construct, but clearly one of them has to be correct.

Great read! The best thing about this post is the use of examples depicting each of the steps you were talking about. I liked that. That must've taken a lifetime to compile. My personal method for moving through these types of flaws is most like ste…

Corn, hands down.

RC: Seismic activity and Italian/German operas was real LG: Organizational, visitors, booth was real LG: Don't know, I had 3 of these.

These have all been really helpful comments, team! @10000019 , the example given in the link was a parallel reasoning question. The stimulus in the argument is simple, hence why I didn't diagram, but answer choice A uses a contra. I missed it upon f…

Lol @Ohnoeshalpme I love that analogy. I'd say go with your gut. The thing with making these types of decisions is that you can rationalize both options. There's evidence for and against either scenario so you might as well just go with your intuit…

I apologize for the length of my reply, but I wanted to be thorough. @Nunuboy1994 My 167 is nothing to shake a stick at. I was ecstatic, but at the same time it's not as catchy as that sweet sweet 170+ club. It's also not on a legitimate administe…

@"lady macbeth" I'm sure you did fine on the test. I agree, the junior/senior executive circular game was such a time suck. I guess we'll see what we see! I'm not fond of taking a break right now. I'm not burned out. If anything, I'm more motivated…

@"lady macbeth" My avg LG is -3 right now. That comes from not finishing a weird game or silly mistakes throughout the section. I have taken retakes and they're consistently in the low to mid 170s but I'm not letting that stroke my ego since they'r…

If you're on the last game or passage and you've been given the 5-minute warning, I would bubble in your answers with every single question answered instead of waiting until after all the questions are done in the set to bubble them in via a cluster…

Ask yourself before diving into the answer choices, "Which of these can I prove?" I know the bar doesn't have to be as high as with MBTs but this question in mind helps me eliminate unnecessarily strong/specific answer choices pretty easily. Also, …

Thanks, team!

We know that the new antihistamine drug's social impact is understood somewhat since it's being marketed. This inference needs to be made in order to understand the stimulus fully. The first contextual sentence tells us that drugs can be marketed…

@LSAT_Wrecker Ehh... I fluctuate between typing and writing. I retain more when writing, but I type sometimes because it's faster and because it improves my typing skill which is something we'll all need for law school (I know this benefit is applic…
-
@LSAT_Wrecker So when you blind review, are you simply completing the process and then moving on, or are you writing notes like: "Okay in the future for a problem like this, be aware of words like many." That's an arbitrary example, but I'm starting…
-
@NotMyName okay okay okay... in short, one must separate belief from significance. We could have a juror who doesn't see the testimony as that significant, but nevertheless, thinks that what the witness said is incriminating to the defendant. On the…
-
@NotMyName Also, I think I was confused with your initial response to my question, because a premise didn't state that some jurors didn't believe the testimony. The conclusion stated this, but regardless, the conclusion is still a piece of the argum…
-
@NotMyName I'd say that's a very fair assumption to make, but a part of me is thinking your question in response to my own question was posed because of how obvious the answer is - that it is a fair assumption to make, therefore the difference in si…
-
@NotMyName The argument concludes that not all of the jurors believed the testimony, so does that suggest that the jurors disagree on its significance? If so, then I see how the argument considers answer choice E and doesn't overlook it at all.

Lets say we have a forest of 100 moths. 50 of them were resistant to poison and 50 of them weren't. We then nuke this forest with the poison and come back a week later to find that the total population of 100 moths is now 70. The argument's conclusi…

I grin like a psychopath when reading law passages because they make me feel like the thing I'm trying to become. I was a fan of the stealing thunder passage.

You misread answer choice A. The population of a particular type of caterpillar hasn't increased, it's share has - i.e. its percentage of the population. Now ask yourself, what's the one thing that differentiates this resilient caterpillar and the o…

PT72's RC section for me was a -9 taken a month and 3 days ago. My average has been a -4.6 since then. I feel your pain, bro. Given analytics, it might just be something we're both subjectively bad at.

I listen to a couple of EDM tracks while sipping an iced coffee or espresso. It usually does the trick.

@LastLSAT My apps were complete toward the beginning January.

Hacksaw Ridge had me in tears. I forbid myself from watching it with other people. It's probably the best movie I've seen in a few years, yet it gets very little publicity.

@CRISTINA.PHIPPS I had a solid offer too, but no scholarship offers. I'm actually still dangling my feet on the fence about going, but as of now, I'm retaking in July and set to reapply this coming cycle.

I see. In other words, although we can't definitively conclude things from past performances, that doesn't mean we can't make some predictions based on them. The conclusion states that the premises are completely useless in forming an opinion on fut…

C: Mistaken reversal. Conclusion: Absurd ( Grant implies successful ). Premise: ( Successful implies grant. ) We just switched the variables around the arrow, without applying the appropriate negations. Also note, that simplification is after ap…
