Hi there so in a general sense any argument type has a prefixed set of assumptions, and these assumptions ultimately create a flawed argument that we can exploit. This is a causal argument and for any causal argument there are three assumptions: C…

Hi there so while I plan to answer your question specifically, I also see this as an opportunity to talk generally about important themes on the LSAT. When the author is making an evaluation, we have to ask ourselves what criteria the author used a…

This is a causal argument which come with a set of necessary assumptions: the correlation reflects a causation there has never been an instance where the fungicide was not administered, and the infection went away on its own nothing else can…

man, this question is mean. So, we are asked which of the following conclusions would be countered by the Critic's response. In other words, which of the answers apply to the critic's description? E) Most people, if told by their physician to exclu…

To summarize the argument: Premise: Train service suffers when a railroad combines commuter and freight services. Conclusion: Therefore, if the railroad is to be successful then it must concentrate on one over the other, C: Unless a railroad serv…

I had the same issue with changing my answer. I am assuming you selected the right answer, not because you thought it was right, but you instinctually knew that the other four were wrong. I am willing to bet that in situations like this you were stu…

A theme that will be prevalent in the LSAT is this idea of a false dichotomy. So, the stimulus presents a comparison between deep tilling and no-tilling and then concludes that deep tilling should be abandon and replaced with no-tilling methods. The…

Hi there - one thing to lean on is pattern recognition. Whenever the author mentions external viewpoints, it is always for the sake of advancing their own argument. Moreover, seeing the word "But" is an argument indicator so you could have solved it…

I agree, never spend less time reading and instead focus on speeding up the question portion. The RC section has the most questions of all the sections and allotted the same amount of time. Ultimately, you're given more to read, more questions and l…

MSS question require you to recognize the subtle but essential difference between what could be true and what must be true. Afterall, if it could be true then it could also be false. The right answer must be true. Look at C: Carcinogenic chemicals …

The stimulus isn't so much an argument rather a set of rules. information about advanced technology that is of commercial or national-security value must be restricted. Dissemination to certain countries should be selectively prohibited. There mus…

It's not enough that an answer could be true because the right answer must be true. Only one of the five choices must be true - the rest, could be true, could be false, we don't know. The stimulus tells us that the mussels remove the hazardous waste…

In a conditional sense, "presuppose" is a necessary condition indicator. So, to presuppose something is to assume that something must be true based on another premise. To your other question, I am not sure that it would be "automatically" wrong. I w…

So resolve questions we have to transform the stimulus into a question. Why, if no new oil reserve have been discovered and the amount of oil considered extractable has not changed, run counter to the increasing consumption of domestic oil? A) The…

E is descriptively inaccurate.

The stimulus states that English literature reflects the hallmarks of the English language. A) The origins of English played a role in shaping English literature. English literature reflects the hallmarks of the English language. in other words, E…

In any case, we have to ask ourselves "is this enough evidence to warrant the conclusion?" D created a scope in which the evidence was no longer sufficient. While there were traces of Carbon 14, D says it was an insignificant amount. In a world wher…

The underlying principle justifies the decision. She decides to forgo the surgery because the father would strongly object to it. In principle she opted to respect her father's wishes above all else: this is the principle driving this decision. Answ…

Always think of what type of evidence the author is using. For any type of evidence, there is some sort of inherent flaw within it. The evidence type used here is an analogy. An argument by analogy is inherently flawed because it assumes that two di…

So, let's start by thinking of what type of argument the author is making. The argument is that one method is preferable to the other because it reduces the amount of animal testing. The assumption is that the alternative is preferable soley on the …

To correctly answer any resolve/reconcile question correctly we need an answer that resolve every element of the mystery. If we take the stimulus and turn it into a question, we can take stock of every element: Why, if the proportion of left-hande…

The citizen's argument is centered around the rate of violent crimes. The city official is trying to placate the severity of problem by showing that the absolute number of murder victims is declining. The city official is assuming that the declining…

The LSAC pushes us to use the author's evidence against them. So, if the author is citing a rule to support their argument, we should seek to undermine the applicability of such rule. The assumption in the representative's argument is that the cited…

Hi there, Let's take stock of the stimulus. 20% have been to Italy 30% have been France From there the author draws the conclusion that 50% of the population has been to Europe. The issue is that some people could have gone to both Italy and …

lets pretend its 100 instead of a 1000. If 9 out of 100 skiers got injured on the slope in 1950s and 3 out of 100 got injured on the sloped in the 1980s then you had a 9% chance in the 1950s of getting injured on the sloped versus 3% chance in the 1…

RC tests your ability to organize information strategically. Successfully mapping out a passage sets you up for success for reference questions, viewpoint questions, main point, primary purpose, virtually all of it. For easier passages, organizatio…

for questions you got wrong, obviously study those. for questions you got right but were 20 seconds over the avg time then study those

Yeah exactly! So the author's argument centers around a proposal and insinuates that this must be the course of action taken. So when someone offers a proposal, a weakening response would be something like: we have other options, or just because we …

they won't know that you were allowed extra time, they will only have access to your scores. I agree that it's problematic but it's also undeniable that others have used it to seek an advantage which hurts everybody--all I gotta say is selfish peopl…

Hi!You're not alone. I had a similar drop and I think a lot of people experienced that. 70s are notoriously difficult and I think its because the LSAT test makers made an effort to make these test far less systematic than the others. For me, it sort…
