Suppose we had a rule 6 situation where B goes to A and C goes to A, but B also goes to D and E goes to C. What happens if there are other pieces in the chain (for example, the D and E) when you take the contrapositive of the rule 6 group (A, B, C)? Do you also take the contrapositive of those? Like basically taking the contrapositive of the whole entire thing?

What does "presuppose" ACTUALLY mean in an AP question's answer choice?

I understand that presupposing something is similar to assuming something. But I still keep messing up on AP questions where the answer choices include the word "presuppose." I trick myself into believing that the argument has presupposed something!

For example, PT27.S2.Q17 (the "A Stable Society" question), I picked E :'(

Does anybody have any examples of when an argument really did presuppose something? Are answer choices in AP questions that mention "presupposing" always wrong?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

MMS question

I got this one wrong twice, the first time I picked D, this is not supported because we don.t know anything about the algae, only that they are the food source of the mussels, so we cannot infer anything else. In Blind review I choose C, also wrong answer, cause we don't know if there is any mechanical means available for cleaning the pipe.

This is a weakening question type. The argument is stating that Bruno must have been a spy, the premise says that the spy was the only clergyman working at the embassy at that time. The assumption to make the argument week must be A, cause its stating that Bruno was no longer a clergyman once he started working at the embassy.

When I do Necessary Assumption Question, I prefer to negate the Answer Choice and then test whether the argument becomes invalid. But this question confused me. Can anybody help me explain the question by negating and testing?

Can anybody explain E? If I negate AC(E), why the argument becomes invalid?

when JY says to print "ten clean copies" of games in order to memorize the inferences of games, which games is he talking about? just the games featured in the videos in the LG core curriculum? or is he talking about those AS WELL as the games in the problem sets? and if hes also talking about the games in the problem sets, how many of those is he talking about?

i like the idea of doing a game repeatedly and unremittingly until ive memorized it. i just dont know on which games im supoosed to be practicing this strategy. thank you

any tips and tricks for making it through the 2 LR sections? i find myself losing concentration even halfway of just 1 timed full section. i don't experience this type of burnout during RC and not as much with LG. when i drill LR with 5-10 questions at a time, i don't have as much of an issue with focusing and accuracy. but as soon as i do an entire timed section, i find myself messing up even early on in the section. i must just be overwhelmed by the mass amount of varying subject matter in LR

B, to me, seems as the right answer. Can someone explain to me why is it D?

Ok I understand why the answer I marked, C was incorrect, specifically because of the last part of the sentence says "some clearly never were". However, the correct answer choice, option D also confuses me because it says that small amounts of the Co2 entered the soil from the atmosphere. The confusing part in all this is that the premise says the plants make the Co2 and put it into the atmosphere, so I do not understand completely why option D is correct. I understand why my answer of option C was incorrect, however.

Does anyone have a good template for their wrong answer journal for reading comprehension?

I would like some help in identifying some ways in which the following passage could be flawed: both if it were to be modified and also as it is currently. In other words, what would I have to modify in order to make the passage flawed, if it is not already? Some necessary assumptions for the following passage would also be much appreciated.

"In the past 1,000 experiments, whenever an experimental fungicide was applied to coffee plants infected with coffee rust, the infection disappeared. The coffee rust never disappeared before the fungicide was applied. Therefore, in these experiments, application of the fungicide caused the disappearance of coffee rust."

Thank you

Hi! My name is Robert and I am a 23 year old from New York. I work full time at my district attorney's office with hopes of taking the LSAT in November or December 2023. I work 8 hours 5 days a week and I study 1-2 hours after work, as well as studying on the weekends.

I was curious if anyone else was in similar situations? Do you work as well and do you study before or after work? I am trying to stay disciplined and study everyday. If anyone has any tips or advice feel free to share, thank you.

Why is E correct? I keep getting caught between C, D, and E. Why are C and D incorrect?

I am consistently missing 3 to 5 on RC and I am unable to get it down to a -0-2~3 range. Has anyone been in this situation and are you willing to share tips for getting over the hump?

I take notes for each paragraph, try to highlight wrong portions of answers. I seem to miss analogy questions a lot and I noticed that every time I change my answer I tend to get it wrong. I feel like I need to be disciplined about changing my answer from my gut instinct, but I seem to convince myself that I should change it every time.

thanks!

Has anyone found value in watching the passage videos for RC? Have they helped you improve in your process at all?

Was stuck between A and C on this one. A was right to me because the author seemed to "presume" that a person wouldn't value their life more than freedom. Can anyone help break down why this was an incorrect way of thinking this through?

If anyone can explain this question type to me in simple terms that would be great! The only question type I can't nail down!!!

Can we go over why it is not A? I switched from A to E but I am trying to reason out why A is wrong rather than my reasoning right now which is that E is better than A. Is it because A doesn't have a conditional which results in the daughter not protecting the life. A seems to focus on protection of life but the MP of the stimulus is listening to the father's wishes which the stimulus in E highlights.

I need help understanding why A is wrong. I kinda get why D is right even though it says "unsurpassed", which seems pretty excessive to me.

Hello! I usually score in the 168-169 range, but I am not sure if it’s just that i find the PTs in the 80s more difficult, but I got a 166, 166, and then a 164 on a couple of the PTs in the 80s. I have also been trying to PT 2-3 times a week. Do you think it’s because of burnout/fatigue, or just the difficulty of the PT in the 80s? Any tips or advice would be appreciated!

Does anyone know how/if we can do prep tests that simulate the Prometric interface? Are the current practice tests in Lawhub only reflecting the ProctorU interface? How are others who are taking the August 2023 LSAT simulating the interface?

Here is what it currently says on LSAC's website: "To familiarize yourself with the content and interface of the LSAT, we recommend using the free Official LSAT PrepTests® that are available through your LSAC LawHub account. LawHub also includes a series of tutorial videos that can help you get better acquainted with the test’s format and features."

After multiple reviews, I understand why B conflicts with information in the passage. I do not understand why answer choice D does not. I see it as, if reporting became more accurate, then there is an alternate reason for why the incidence of injuries changed between 1950-1980. Please help and let me know where the flaw in my logic is. Thanks!
