LSAT 73, Logical Reasoning I, Q19

I came across this one over 6 months ago, and I'm not sure if I can accurately answer it even now. It just feels like a ridiculous jump to weaken the conclusion.
Dancing!! My preferred exercise and stress relief. Not graceful. I like to jam to some oldies (it was donna summers & pink floyd today) in the morning before working on PTs or studying. Makes it hard to take myself too seriously.
Exactly. I also think this exact flaw shows up when you have an argument that says, "solving our problem in this particular way guarantees the results we want. So we need to do this in order to get the results we want." Just in a more text based for…
I took a diagnostic and 3 more while studying content and it helped me realize certain learning systems weren't working. I assumed that I should have seen a slight improvement from my diagnostic score after two months. But I think regular PT'ing is …
I think you can use question types to your advantage. When I see it is a SA or a PF question (there's a few more) with lots of conditional logic in the stimulus, I can definitely expect my understanding of lawgic to become relevant. That's when I li…
Try thinking about which professors you like the most and establish a relationship with them. Some I liked because they were a good teacher, or were easy to get along with, or had some shared interest. Or maybe, which class are you doing the best in…
Great points above!
I've drilled question stems before. As in, I go through the LR of old PTs, read the question stems, and write down what I think they are asking for. I don't even go through the stimuluses or answer the questions, but it helps! E…
I've done games in my head (like satisfying inferences) as I've drifted off into sleep. Some how it doesn't keep me up?
But seriously, I wish I realized earlier in life that resting can be conducive to studying. Thanks for the reminder
It is definitely to your benefit to drill the crap out of conditionals and get super comfortable translating text into lawgic! Questions like these become much more easy
Once you translate the premises, this is what you get:

When I translate A I get

causes debate among experts ------> qualifies as art
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "But many preptest websites in their explanation do not negate ~causes d…
I haven't done this before, so apologies if this isn't the clearest explanation. Let me know and I'll try to clarify.
It's a basic assumption question.
Argument (paraphrased): A top conductor is able to sell their artistic interpretation of a song…
Lmao I'm bad at this site, so sorry I couldn't just reply directly to your reply. Straight up, I don't think the LSAT trainer covers every single LR flaw that you can run into on test day. It said it did, but there were definitely a handful of flaws…
One of the reasons why the LR section is difficult is because it requires you to quickly go between different thinking processes. And if you don't do the switching part correctly, the LSAT has very tempting answers that are intended to mislead you. …
There's a lot of good advice above! I was in the same boat as you in terms of average LG score and the things you described under execution, inferences and timing (the nerves are awful). It was the fool proof method (essentially hard core repetition…
