PT3.S2.Q24

Can anyone explain why A is correct and D isn't? It seems they are expressing the same thing (even though I know that can't be true)

Has anyone had to file a formal complaint with LSAC about tech issues/wanting to retake? I filed yesterday and I’m wondering how long until I hear back…the retest is less than a week away so I need to know soon…

I made a little infographic of the 6 flaws on Canva. These are the first 6 out of the 21 most common flaws. I am trying to change things up from simple flashcards, Canva is a great resource to make interactive study material. Hope it helps! Going to make the rest of the common flaws today using the same template on Canva or maybe a little bit different one, I am not sure yet. BTW, please ignore any minor grammatical errors, such as misplaced commas. I can definitely clean it up when I have time to do so!

Hi October test-takers,

We all took it, and hopefully some of you have a good memory: Can anyone point me towards similar games to that last one, the one with the duets and violin and piano(?) or was it guitar(?) players.

I'm pretty sure I bombed that section as it was my first after 45 minutes of ProctorU technical difficulties, but all the while on the other three games I was aware I was making dumb mistakes. On this one I was just lost. I'd like to tackle other games that are similar just to prep more and up my confidence for the November exam.

Can anyone help point me to them? Even #admin

I primarily got the base of my knowledge from LSAT Trainer and PowerScore books and came to 7sage for mainly LG but also to improve on LR to further boost my score. I've been going through certain sections and today I was going to go over the valid/invalid argument forms because I thought they were going to be more obvious LR related however all of these lessons about existential quantifiers have just confused me.

Not only do they take a concept which is intuitive for most people and turn it into a completely non intuitive form but I haven't seen a single direct application for this on the LSAT which makes it worth studying. I decided to google search this and figure out if it was work my time and came across this: https://www.thinkinglsat.com/post/ep-278-part-1-existential-quantifiers-crisis

The LSAT is full of jargon. Some of it useful, and some of it…not so much. What makes matters worse is that many LSAT prep companies confuse students’ understanding by building unnecessary complexities into the study process. In this episode, the guys hear from a listener who just can’t quite understand “existential quantifiers,” hard as he may try. The thing is: the guys have no idea what “existential quantifiers” even means—especially not in the context of the LSAT. Nathan and Ben do their best to bring clarity to this confused 1L hopeful. Plus Nathan advocates for doing more inquiring and less note taking, the guys hear about a life-changing 20-point improvement, and they offer up a PSA about talking and LSAT-ing.

Thoughts?

I took the test on 12th. During my first LG section, when there was still around 8 mins left. I was doing the hardest duet one. Suddenly, the proctor shouted at me over the MIC that he wanted to see my ID. I didn't know what happened. I was so scared.

I took the ID and showed it to him.

He asked me: Are you done with your test yet? I said no(almost crying), "it's not, there is still eight minutes left."

He said: Oh, I thought you were done. Go ahead with your test.

He didn't press pause for the whole conversation, which cost me about two minutes, and I didn't solve this LG.

I am a non-native speaker, and the proctor also has strong accent. So I didn't understand her what he was requesting at the beginning.

And because of this incident I dumped the next session RC as well.(luckily someone told me the second section is experiment) I had very hard test make up. LG-RC(rap)-RC(Canadian writer- Paternalism) -LR

I've been thinking about it since Tuesday, it's so infuriating that I completed all the security testing before the exam. Have any of you guys ever been interrupted in the middle of an exam and asked to see the ID?

I quit my job on April and prepare it full time. This is my second lsat. I have been PTing consistently around 170. But I think I have been crewed up on this time.

Why why why? Why some random proctor can interrupted you on such a high stake test and bear almost no cost. Did he do that just for fun?

I am an American studying abroad in the UK, and so I've just taken my exam today. I had wifi issues at my apartment and so I booked a public office space to take the exam. I was pumped and ready to take the exam. ProctorU began demanding I download software that is incompatible with my MacBook (i.e. a .exe file). I was unable to download it and thus unable to connect to a proctor and take my test. Of course I had to call customer service, and the lady ridiculed me and blamed the tech issues on me for being international. I was so flustered, anxious and frustrated. I was ultimately unable to use my own computer and had to borrow a Thinkpad from the public office. The keyboard was British and I spent so much time on my test simply trying to figure out where all of the keys were. On top of this I was too frustrated to focus for the first two sections - I have never felt so bad about a test as I do this one. The reading comp alone probably tanked my score because I kept having to re-read and hold back tears. During my 10 minute break I went to the restroom and cried. The last 2 sections went by okay, because I forced myself to pretend like I wasn't about to break down.

2 years of studying for the LSAT and website and tech issues might be the reason I don't get into the law school of my dreams.

I already filed a formal complaint to retake the exam, no guarantee that it will be granted though.

I am a wreck. I can't believe this is how test day went. 25 prep tests since June and I was averaging a 165 and sometimes higher, but because of what I went through this morning I wouldn't be surprised if I got a 150

I don't get why the games are difficult for me. I've done a lot of Sudoku in the past which is similar to the games, in terms of figuring out placements and sequences so I assumed Logic Games would be alike to that. Every time I do a logic game, I get an average score and understand the explanation but still do average on the next problem set. Does anyone have any tips for knocking these questions out?

Can someone explain to me why Answer choice D is the best choice for PT 91 Logical Reasoning Question 17? Is it because Answer choice D is only meeting one objective whereas the answer choices are meeting more than one objective? Thank you.
