I narrowed it down to D or E, but neither really made much sense to me but I felt D was a little better so I chose it, though the correct answer was E. This question felt much more like a reconciliation question rather than an MSS question to me

Hello I was wondering if anybody could help me with the reasoning in AC A and C.

I see how the correct answer choice of A would weaken the argument, if true, so I see how it's the right answer, however I am having trouble seeing why C is not the answer. My thinking was that time plays a role, like an alternative hypothesis/factor affecting theft rate in the neighborhood, that would justify less theft overall? So I dont know what is not clicking

Any help is appreciated!

I’m planning on writing the LSAT in August and have been recently struggling with lr. I previously was averaging -6 but on the pts in the 80’s and 90’s I have started to average -11.

Please let me know if you have any tips to recover from this downfall.

Just starting out here. Hoping to take the November LSAT. Studying about 4 hours 5 days a week.

Hello! I appear to hard time with sufficient and necessary which is leading to me applying them wrong in lawgic and getting the quiz questions backwards. Can someone please help in dumbing it down? I went back to review but somehow confused myself even more and might just be overthinking it now. I would appreciate any help.

I am kind of confused as to why the answer for this question is C and not B? I feel like a may be missing the basis of the argument because it seems that it is arguing for groups over individuals and not really having to do with founder v.s. non founder.

I don't understand the use of the word broadsides or the context of this questions at all. I was confused at what it was saying and what was being asked. Please help explain.

I've been noticing that I do worse on the second half of LR sections because I run out of time and the questions get harder. Is it a bad strategy to start with the second half of the test first? I just tried it and did better, but not sure if there's any downsides. I liked that at least when I'm running out of time, the easier questions are typically in the beginning..

I'm struggling in RC. It's my worst section, and I'm obviously trying to improve. I feel like going through the stories untimed doesn't exactly help me. I end up taking my time, finding the right answer, and say of course this was it. I feel like honing in on my reading speed is what will get me there. Does anyone have any advice on what worked for them to improve their RC section?

Thanks!

I am planning on writing the Aug LSAT and my pt score keeps dropping. I’m not burned out and I’m not sure what is happening.

My worst section is RC and it is getting worse rather than better with practice and I need some tips.

Please help!

I am a bit confused about the last sentence. Is except the same as the group "unless/without"?

Defer to journalists → Don't have direct experience

Have direct experience → Don't defer to journalists?

Thanks!

Is it just me or is this question worded very complicated?

If you have a statement that says, "Not all A's are C's," then why can't negating that statement be "No A's are C's" in addition to "Some A's are not C's?"

Hi, I am still confused on how choice D doesn't weaken the argument? Choice A seems like a weak answer choice doesn't it?

Can someone please explain this question I got the original and blind review answer wrong, and I am just very confused on how you come to the conclusion of "E" being the correct answer choice.

I got the answer right, but why is it right

Any tips on getting faster at RC? I'm trying to read each passage in 4min and answer questions in 4 min, but I am finding that I still take too much time on answering the questions. Should I spend less time reading?

How can you tell the level of difficulty for the passages in the RC section? I know the passages have gotten more difficult recently and they are not necessarily in the order of easiest to hardest? Should we attack the passages with the most questions first? Or should we just go through in the order provided?

In Answer Choice A, it states that the shortage of courtroom space was not experienced until 1990. This is not consistent with the passage (when Mayor Tyler claims that they experienced a shortage in 1982). How can this answer be correct if the facts are inconsistent with the passage.

I answered C for this question, when the answer was B, but I'd like further review on this answer.

Hi, I had a quick question about denying the link between premise and conclusion.

In this video: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/egyptian-and-mayan-pyramids-flaw-question/

JY talks about how denying the argument by denying the link between the premise and conclusion is not the same as denying the conclusion. In the particular question, the author denies the link between premise and conclusion but is not allowed to deny the conclusion.

When are you ever allowed to deny the conclusion? Or are you not allowed to usually?

Thanks.

Confused on how questions work -- I've done two drills now where I think I select an answer (the circle is blue) but only my first answer out of all of them is counted, while the rest are N/A.

I am having the hardest time understanding how E is the answer to this one. It was an answer I dismissed outright because I didn't see what the healthcare had to do with the murder rate. Perhaps the question was phrased weird, but I can't figure how to work it in my brain. Any advice?
