Hey @MatthewJA, the best place to start, after understanding the task at hand, is always to identify the conclusion and premises supporting that conclusion. For a principle question, we are looking for an answer choice that, if true, would allow us …
@nicole.hopkins your unicorn meme usage is unparalleled lol. I wish this picture was substituted in place of one of the answer choices... would have made me feel better about missing this question because who can be mad looking at that
Try buying some earlier books of PrepTests from Amazon.

These are my weaknesses: I have a weak LSAT score, I don't know any foreign languages (and aspire to practice foreign law eventually, and specifically, criminal law in one of a couple developing nations), and I don't have any adv…
Not sure if it would help, but if I ever freeze translating tricky "no" statements I always think of the example "No cats are dogs" because its translation into "if you are a cat, then you are not a dog" seems intuitive to me. It's just following th…
@JuliaZLSAT PT52 is September 2007, June 2007 is the free PT that LSAT provides so I think they just skipped it in the numbering (or it's listed in some places as 51.5).
The argument concludes that there must exist some undiscovered planet because of the facts that (1) Uranus is being pulled away from the sun and (2) Neptune and Pluto do not have enough mass to pull Uranus away from the sun. But what if there was so…

I really want a better understanding of reasoning and arguments, generally, beyond just what's on the LSAT. I'm struggling now to decide whether I should do that kind of deeper learning now, or just sometime before law school.…
First, we should zero in on what the argument is trying to prove. The conclusion, indicated by "so", is claiming that at least some of the people of Q were murderers. Therefore, we need an answer choice that offers a principle that would allow us to…
C is incorrect because we have no information about the relative sizes of the nests, only that the boxed nets become crowded. It could be true that the natural nests are very small but that their small size isn't a problem because they are so well h…
From the statements in the stimulus we can validly infer that the Public Works department is hierarchical. Even though this is true, it is also true that the PW department operates quite differently than other bureaucratically controlled (I.E. hiera…
Especially with RC, I think a lot of times there's an instinctual urge to really rush through the passage to get to the questions. I've found it's useful to approach the RC like the games in that you have to spend a proper amount of time up front be…
Depending on where you're beginning, you may be able to improve 8-10 points just by mastering games! For most people, logic games are quite unlike anything you've seen before and is reflected as much in your diag, but study hard and you'll see your …
I have a similar test day experience as you, and this is how I think of it: Everyone goes into the LSAT with 3 bullets. Some people kill the test on their first shot, and others need one or two more. What matters most, though, is not on which attemp…
@bSM45LSAT nailed the explanations for A and D! It's important to note what the conclusion is about, and keeping tabs on that will help you to see why A and D can't be correct. The author is concluding that marine biologists are wrong when claiming …
Hey @nicole.hopkins, quick question: you mentioned you flipped through your tests and marked questions for each drill set, but where did you get a categorization of the all the problems from prep tests 1-34ish?
Thanks for your help!
