Take a moment and think about the argument itself without referring to the ACs. The author is telling us that because there exists "more great artworks in the world than any human being could appreciate in a lifetime, works capable of satisfying vir…

@uhinberg I don't think I follow why you think I'm trying to validate it...my explanation for answer choice E in no way tries to validate the argument. My issue is that my interpretation of A does not strengthen it whatsoever. Not even a little. I'm…

It's a combination of both. The key is to 1) make identifying the the argument parts of each stimulus second nature; 2) get familiar with the types of flaws they exploit for their questions so that you begin looking for the right answer instead of e…

Thank you @danielznelson and @Mellow_Z for the discussion! It's an interesting perspective to look at the logic of the English language from. Like @danielznelson pointed out, I guess the only inference you could logically make is "If I go to the mal…

@AllezAllez21 said: When I select a wrong answer, I just usually have that feeling like "Huh, that seems like a weird answer to be right, but I think I eliminated the others and I sorta see how it works, so I'll go with it for now." It's reall…

@"Daniel.Sieradzki" This is a great idea! Definitely going to use this. Thank you everybody for your input

@"work all week" @DumbHollywoodActor Thank you both for this back and forth. Reading your interpretations really illuminates the different ways to approach this question. BTW, @DumbHollywoodActor I don't consider the negation of E to be that "Fault…
-
@jknauf Well, if we negate the premise (at least how I am understanding it) that there are some faults/regions that have NO earthquakes, then, yes, it will render the conclusion highly suspect. (I see now that C is necessary to make the negation of …

@"lipe.casey" Thank you for your service.

@BenjaminSF Thank you for your response! This question threw me for a loop, so I appreciate you clearing things up for me.

@akistotle JY has office hours in the city? Where/when/how often??
-
Are you typing/writing out the argument in your own words when you BR? If so (and I would encourage doing so), then I don't think it matters too much if you have a hard copy or an electronic copy. I don't mark up my paper too much when I BR because …

This is great! Thank you, both. @ajcrowel and @"Cant Get Right"

The benefit is to assess your natural abilities versus your developed abilities later. You have natural weaknesses and natural strengths. This diagnostic is how you can identify those cold without the benefit of training. I wouldn't say it's necess…

@DumbHollywoodActor said: Tough distinction to make here. What are the different bases of comparison between (C) and (D)? For (C), what if the price of natural oil rose? (Answer (C) leaves that possibility.) Then, the likelihood of a sign…

Hi there! This is definitely a tricky question. The wording of the correct AC especially. Let's start by identifying the structure of the stimulus. Context: A method employed by defense attorneys to establish that a suspect was not at the scene du…
-
@potatocowpower Fantastic, thank you. I will evaluate your responses with my full attention in the next day or so and get back to you. Thanks again!

@danielznelson said: And that's just the tip on passages! But I don't want to write so much that nothing stick. And I'll probably write about ACs later. I have literally copied and pasted this post into a Word document so I can reread and …

I appreciate everyone's input. It's so valuable to have such a supportive community on here because, as much as I can complain and vent to my friends and family about this, they clearly can't empathize the way people on here can. No one understands …

@I.S.S_OVO I also was planning on testing in June (I even registered and everything), but if I can't get comfortable with my RC before then, then I will defer until September or December. Best of luck to you though! I know you've probably already he…
-
@ilikephilosophy (love the username. I was a philosophy major in college ) I think my problem is I tend to overthink questions. I refer back to the passage too much because I second guess myself (to no avail...this hardly ever increases my accurac…
-
@BinghamtonDave I am struggling with the whole section. Usually when I review RC with the correct answers, I can see why they are the correct answers and where I missed something. I am able to walk away with a plan on how to approach similar RC ques…
-
@"Cant Get Right" I totally agree. For some reason, I was terrified to test in an environment that I wasn't familiar with. Like I'm sure it's fine for some people, but the idea of staying in a strange town in a hotel and going to an unfamiliar venue…
-
Literally will be attending each one. RC is the bane of my existence
-
Thank you, @"montaha.rizeq" I actually totally agree with you and was planning on registering elsewhere, but I received an email this morning letting me know I got the spot! My guess is some Feb LSATer registered in a panic but decided that they app…

@"work all week" and @JustDoIt Thank you both! @JustDoIt , I completely understand what you are saying now. I posted this question on Manhattan Prep and someone (ohthatpatrick) had responded with a very enlightening perspective on this question. It…

@DumbHollywoodActor said: Right here is your problem. This is not a sufficient assumption. It's a necessary assumption ("assumption on which the argument depends"). YESSS. Thank you! That is why I'm confused. Whenever I see the word "depen…

You should check out this webinar. It's gold. It talks about skipping in general, including RC. https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/skip-it/

No problem @M.Yanka106 ! Happy to help. After watching the video, I don't see what conditional you think I may have messed up. Maybe you can point it out to me? My conditionals seem to match up with JY's. And yes, I am saying that the first senten…
