  • @d931n027h said: Also what if "Jane will select neither the blue nor the black dress: Jane will not select Blue dress AND Black dress"?? Can you sum them up as J→/Blue + /Black? or do you have to separate them as J→/Blue AND J→/Black? …
  • @d931n027h said: If, "neither P nor K are cute", then can you say P+K→/C or do you have to keep them separate?? This would be separate because it means that "P are not cute" and "K are not cure" separately. P → not cute K → not cute P o…

  • Thank you, @roychess, for explaining logic. I think 7Sagers do understand what "only if" means logically since we learn it in the Core Curriculum. As you can see from J.Y.'s comment, we were having a discussion on how ambiguous English can be.
  • I may be missing something here but the original post says: [Argument #1] Premise 1: A ---> C Premise 2: B ---> C Conclusion: ~A some ~B This argument is valid because Premise 1: Dogs ---> Mammal Premise 2: Cats ---> Mammal Concl…

  • There is a post on Reddit about taking the LSAT in Beijing. If you haven't seen it, it might be helpful for you: https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/3vqjw0/my_experiences_taking_the_lsat_in_china/ I'm not certain, but is the June LSAT in Asia i…
  • Thank you, @hon132 for your detailed explanation! Your example has some issues, even though the factions fought, that doesn't mean their problems were never addressed. I think that even if they never address the issue of disagreement, it is po…
  • @"work all week" said: I think you are just judging B too harshly as if it's a MSS question or similar. While it's true that nothing is mentioned about staying in power, that doesn't really matter for this question. We just need a sentence t…
  • Maybe you should crop the photo to 2”x2” (195px x 195px). http://www.lsac.org//jd/lsat/day-of-test/photo-requirements/?view=1 LSAT photo requirements may not be so strict, but it certainly is better safe than sorry. It really depends on the proct…
  • Thank you so much Such an honor!!
  • Last week I was blind reviewing a question for several hours......in my dream. I don't remember exactly what the question was, but it was a bizarre argument and I couldn't figure it out while I was sleeping. lol I was like, "Wait, is this context? …

  • Hi @hello1002 ! While one adjective can modify two nouns, in this case, I think we can't interpret as 2) because the original sentence says "that they shared" (relative pronoun "that" + S V). The C and the E had differing interpretations of [{A} a…
  • Sorry I posted the above before refreshing this page. @"Alex Divine" said: If someone wants to find you they can. Namely, like the feds, lol. Law schools ain't got time to be tracking you down like a private investigator. You'll be good if yo…
  • @Kewlaidd said: No, just set your profile settings to private on all accounts. But this would have to include comments and groups and such. My accounts (including posts and groups) are all set private, but @jayjack34 & @"Alex Divine" are…
  • @jayjack34 said: Just saying as an investigator, it didn't matter how private an account was set to. I could find the information I was looking for in a matter of minutes. Since being an investigator I have scrubbed all of my social media ac…
  • @Freddy_D said: Fingers crossed for a test with 5 sections of LG Oh that would be great. I will pray for that...
  • In terms of questions on the LSAT, I think it's fine to think the negation of "few" as "most." Few are A = Some are A, most are not A Few dogs are evil = Some dogs are evil, but most dogs are not evil. Negation Few are not A = Some are not A, mo…

  • I do what's so-called Cookie Cutter Review on each PT. This seems to be working especially for Flaw questions. Whenever I do a Flaw question, I try to label the question as one of 19 common flaws. https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/19-common-argumen…
