Multiple sections. If you focus just on one then your skills will diminish when you move onto another.

This was posted in the October 2015 LSAT category so they want to talk double layer sequencing especially.

You absolutely could bring a Chipotle burrito in with you. I would caution however that it would likely send you into a food coma for the 4th or 5th portion. Perhaps something lighter but still filling like a Jimmy John's sub would be more appropria…

Not a break... you need to unplug... No LSAT, no logic, no 7Sage... If it's too hard to do at home then go wander off into the woods and go camping for a week. Come back and tackle the areas of your fundamentals that you need to work on and then go …

Most gunnerish types seem to say don't bother with anything aside from the flagship law review. However, since there are a lot of different clubs and activities and people manage to do them and survive law school I would say it's all about your goal…

There are examples of this on 61 and 64 as @c.janson35 was kind enough to show me. So it is still happening and not just an older quirk of the test.
-
I'm told there are exceptions to this rule... but I've never seen one... perhaps @c.janson35 will magically appear to enlighten us... I can only recall PF questions with stems that have at least a small indicator to show their is a flaw (e.g.- "the …

It's that the LSAT reinforces the inequities in the system, which makes both entities discriminatory. It is taking part in institutionalized discrimination whether they intended to or not is beside the point.
-
You either have parallel reasoning or parallel flaw questions. The former have valid arguments and the latter have flawed arguments.
-
No, several people did research on the topic and found evidence that that is the case. Glad you think it's hilarious though. #statusquoFTW
-
You know you can just buy alcohol and make all the other stuff go away right? Stop desiring and start doing!
-
"what's more" makes B a wrong answer because it is indicating that Mark is introducing an additional premise. Mark is basically saying if Harper's ideas could have improved the sound, they would've already done so. The conflicting supposition is t…

You probably need a week off at least. Burnout city.
-
I don't remember a Cat Stevens question on that PT... Hmmm...
-
I think you might be able to make the case for that, though it perhaps wouldn't be in the traditional sense of what we talk about when we talk about part to whole flaws...
-
@Sheri123 is that number from a calculator or from having submitted all your transcripts to LSAC? Don't forget, if you took any college courses for credit prior to receiving your bachelors, all of those credits count towards your LSAC GPA. Also, mak…

@c.janson35 FTW! Hire this man for all your LSAT needs!
-
Yeah the only really large gaps to do this are between February and June, and June and September/October so I wouldn't expect to see too many more explanations in the question bank until somewhere next spring/summer. Everyone forgets this is largely…
-
Just to extend upon the advice given here, I would call rather than email. It's pretty easy to get a hold of an actual human there and your issue is one they should be more than willing to work with you on. Good luck and here's to a speedy recovery!
-
Yeah the post October and post December timelines are too tight for one person to make videos for 100 questions in the 5 or 6 weeks from when the test is released until the next administration. I am sure there will be BR calls for it so I would hit …
-
So really, at a minimum, it should look like A ---> A without the need for anything else.
-
Here is a much better discussion of how we got here etymologically... http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=2290

http://www.logicallyfallacious.com/index.php/logical-fallacies/61-begging-the-question Begging the question specifically does not mean raising the question as you used it there.
-
If you have actually just studied for ~10 hours then I'd say relax and then go to bed. Cramming is not a good idea. It's fine to take another PT after finishing a BR if you aren't totally brain drained but a full day of BR is more than enough for th…
-
It's sufficient enough to teach you that nothing is sufficient or necessary to achieving a given score on the LSAT perhaps that alone is worth the price?
-
The biggest thing in play here is that you could have narrowed the cause down to lightning or campers even if you have no proof that it was either one specifically. This is just not what a circular argument is. I'm not sure how you would make this a…
-
In a non conditional form you could argue that I'm right because I'm right... Another way of thinking about is that you are assuming what you are seeking to establish as true... I think in conditional forms it just necessarily becomes a sufficiency/…
-
And I was just using that example to show more clearly where a flaw would be.
-
No it's taking the premises and conclusion and then using the conclusion as a premise to conclude the premises. You have to take it as a whole.
-
This is not an example of circular reasoning. While the stimulus makes it a bit difficult to see the binary choice flaw in play, it is much more easily recognized in answer choice A. To further illustrate this, imagine that Ben Carson and Martin O…
