You are correct in your explanation! Nice work!
-
Yup those are the three most recent volumes. Can't go wrong with those! If you eventually want the tests in the 40s, look on cambridgelsat or everylsat. Good luck with your studies!

"Bipedalism would have allowed early hominids to see over tall grasses, helping them to locate food and to detect and avoid predators." This is as direct you can get for support in a MBT question, but because of the relatively long stimulus it's ea…

It's hard to say if your diagram is correct without seeing it, but odds are you are just missing something on 18 because it's really unlikely an invalid diagram would lead you to the correct answer on every other question. There are only 2 places …

I think it's implicit in Tyra's response. She says she accepts Aristotle's principle of justice but does not believe that it is wrong for dentists to do favors for family or friends but not everyone else. Why does she say this? Because that's what f…

Think of it this way: "not until you pass the bar can you be a practicing lawyer." What does this sentence mean? If you pass the bar you must be a practicing lawyer? No, not at all, because you can pass the bar and never choose to practice law. But …

In this principle justification question, you aren't looking for a gap in the argument. You are looking for a principle that, if applied, would justify the course of action recommended in the stimulus. The difference between A and B is that A talk…

At the core of this argument, the flaw is "taking a lack of proof something is true as evidence it is false." The argument says that its never been demomstrated mammals can reproduce w/o fertilization of an egg, and it therefore concludes that this …

Great explanation for A @nye8870! "Because" is definitely important. I would also argue that we don't know Cynthia's stance on "pure theoretical research" because she only says that the government should fund basic scientific research. I think eithe…

For number 20, you can answer this question by just reading the first sentence. In rain clouds, molecules containing o18 are rarer than molecules containing ordinary o. This is almost exactly what A says. If o18 molecules are rarer than normal o m…
-
For 19, it is essential that you have a strong grasp on why the scientists were surprised at their findings that the amount of o18 was the same throughout the clouds' routes. We know that there is less o18 than normal o, and that when it rains, a …

It depends on how strong your logic skills are and how familiar you are with contrapositives. If you have a really good understanding of them, then writing out the contrapositive for every conditional rule would largely just be symbolism for you. Ho…

Well, not necessarily because there's nothing to say that G had to be in 1 or 7. You would only split the game board up like that if there was only 1 variable that could go in either 1 or 7. In this case, G and N could go in 7, and all three of them…
-
There's no gameboard when G is not in 1 because the second rule states that G is in 1. This means always and forever. There is no scenario in which G cannot be in 1. Also, rule 3 is 1-->/7. The contrapositive is 7-->/1.

You can overcome this particular problem by learning to use POE at a high level. There's always going to be tricky answers, but you have to start being very particular with what you're looking for while also knowing what makes wrong answers wrong. P…

@nicole.hopkins even the hardest logic games shudder when you invoke his name...

Skipping a question merely because the stimulus is long isn't a good approach. Sometimes longer questions are among the easiest, and I've seen plenty of 2-liners that are really really tough. When deciding whether I should skip a question, I always …

The tests are subtly different but are still worthwhile in my opinion--especially for drilling. You probably won't need more tests than 38-76 to take as full PTs either, so I wouldn't worry about using the early tests to drill and hone in your logic…
-
In general, I think you can approach these kinds of questions as sort of reverse most strongly supported types of questions because you're looking for an answer that can be seen as an example or illustration of the stimulus. So, if it is the case th…
-
Right @nye8870, it's especially helpful for tricky parallel flaw questions! It's best to know that A-->B, B most C, therefore A most C is an invalid argument form rather than thinking "hmm this doesn't match up with my recollection of valid argum…

I also think its unreasonable to try to shoot for finishing LR 10 minutes early. It just isn't necessary or sufficient to get a good score and may actually be more detrimental to your studies in the long run. Going from barely finishing to finishi…

Great breakdown @DumbHollywoodActor!
-
I think it's more efficient to learn both. If you only know valid, then you have to be constantly looking for valid and if you don't see something you know, assume it's invalid. It's essentially a two step process. But if you know all of the valid a…

You'll also have PT76 to work with in a few weeks! I would do retakes now and save the 3 fresh ones for closer to test day.

The LR experimentals do not have to be the same, so unfortunately there's no way for you to tell which section was your experimental if you can't remember any of the questions from each of the sections. The placement of the sections does not have to…

H-GF-H So when H-G triggers, then it must also be true that F-H triggers. So we have F-H and H-G, which means F-H-G. But what about the contrapositive? The CP of a biconditional is just the negation of both sides. So, /H-G/F-H But what does it …

@Pacifico PREACH "LOL"

In general, I think that it is easiest to remember that you can replace "unless" in a sentence with "if not" and keep the same logical meaning. "I will go to the beach unless it rains" "I will go to the beach if not it rains" or "I will go to the …

My one serious scantron mistake came in my freshman year religion class, and since then I've developed a self-talk that helps minimize errors. When I answer a question, say number 15, I first circle the answer in my test booklet and while doing so I…

Some of this advice may help you out: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/3278/how-to-improve-reading-speed-on-rc Also, I've written this about RC in the past, and it sort of answers your question: There really is no secret formula …
