I might stop by for some Monday morning LSAT fun, if it happens!

At its core, the argument is saying, "Humans and cats have so many diseases in common because cats are so close genetically to humans, and many human diseases are genetically based!" So, the author is concluding that the diseases share a genetic kin…

@Pacifico said: I'm going to challenge a bit of orthodoxy here and say that drilling is overrated. Agreed. Drill PTs. Drill by complete sections. Drilling by question type can quickly lead to diminishing returns--like a pencil factory. The one pla…

Taking the Feb test with a March deadline is really pushing it in my opinion. You will more than likely be one of the last few applications that the schools you are applying to are receiving, which obviously isn't ideal. Not only would this potentia…

Let's begin by diagramming the statement that the author believes to be absurd: if gov refuses to support then it does not allow" This can be diagrammed as: /GS-->/A. How does the author show this is absurd? By rewording the relationship: A-->…

This is a great question. The stimulus provides us with two courses of action that must obtain if either of 2 conditions occur. If unpopular with faculty, then modify. If unpop with students, then adopt. The key to this question, though, is the las…

@Pacifico I wouldn't say there are contradictory rules, but that in some worlds the application of the rules contradict each other. At least I haven't seen any. If 2 rules contradict each other from the outset, it seems the game would be impossible.
-
Hey Benny, I can see why you chose D--it is a tempting answer. What you have to ask yourself is: if the bear population around the preserve has decreased, does this mean that the road closure is not what is causing the Bears to migrate to the prese…

Haha Nicole's picture says it all--I echo the sentiment. Thank you so much!

Exactly as @DumbHollywoodActor said, pay careful attention to the English as LSAC is very precise. In this case, the at most rule means that Q has to be in either 3 or 4 because Q in 1 or 2 would violate the rule. I would split up the game board acc…
-
Yea, read them exactly the same way. The only difference is after you read the second passage ask yourself, "How does this passage relate to the first?" Sometimes this is rather explicit because they are arguing against each other , but other times …
-
Well, the answer to this question is B because B does not weaken the conclusion. C does weaken the conclusion, as do A D and E. This is a weaken EXCEPT question, so we are looking for the answer that doesn't weaken the argument. B does not weaken …
-
@DumbHollywoodActor yea you're right about Santa, I was taking his conclusive non-existence for granted because you did in your original post lol. Sorry Santa. I won't make the same mistake with the Easter Bunny. It doesn't seem controversial to m…
-
@nicole.hopkins I agree with you, but you are arguing with the premises of the stimulus. It has been conclusively proven that centaurs do not exist. We are taking that as a fact.
-
@dumbhollywoodactor Well in the examples you gave you are assuming that all of those things have been conclusively proven to not be true. That's a different matter.
-
I would argue against you here @DumbHollywoodActor. It is true that your children believe in Santa, but their belief is not true (sadly). It is a different thing to assign a truth value to a belief than to say whether or not it is true that someone …
-
D, on the other hand, says there's no good reason to believe in centaurs, which is different than saying that centaurs conclusively do not exist.
-
You have to ask yourself this question, which is key: what does it mean to say that a belief in X is false? How can a belief in X existing be false? There's only one way: X does not exist. So, the conclusion is slyly telling us that ETs do not e…
-
There's no way you'll be able to remember 7 question stems while reading and trying to do so will ultimately hinder your overall ability to understand the passage. Reading questions before the passage is a big no-no.
-
I would also recommend that you read the stem first. It's a good habit to get into as long as you spend an appropriate amount of time on the stimulus analyzing and diagnosing it, because that's really what's most important to LR success. Good luck!
-
That's perfect reasoning for eliminating B. Answer choice B directly refutes one of the given premises, so it is incorrect. A is supported pretty well because we know that both groups get sick as often as eachother and have equal amounts of stress…
-
Not to belabor the point, but th negation test will work 100% of the time..not 99% of the time or even 99.99% of the time. The reason is because a necessary assumption is something that is REQUIRED for an argument to hold. If that assumption were to…
-
You pick one of the variables, candy or bitter, negate it, and it becomes the necessary condition. No candy is bitter= C-->/B B-->/C
-
For LR I would recommend only checking the clock two or three times, if that. After 10, 15, and 20 questions. While it doesn't take much time, I think it uses mental energy that's unnecessary. Of course, I already know how fast I need to work to fin…
-
Your explanation looks solid! Great job on the "what I am looking for" section. That's the kind of thinking you need to excel.
-
The thing about the LSAT is that you never know when a game type you've never seen before will just show up, so it's impossible to be completely prepared. That said, you can apply all of the lessons to every game type so if you just keep your cool, …

I think you can infer A from these lines: 10-13 and 17-20. Both deal with specifically directing art toward political action and important political/cultural purposes. The critics believed that Ellison's individual voice prevented him from comment…
