Dont understand this one

Can someone explain why AC C is right and E is wrong.

Option C states that "the proportion of arrests to crimes committed was not significantly higher for criminals under intensive supervision than for those under routine supervision." This statement is not an assumption on which the argument relies. Instead, it is a piece of evidence presented in the argument to support the conclusion that intensive supervision is no more effective than routine supervision in preventing criminals from committing additional crimes. The argument states that the percentage of released criminals arrested while under supervision is the same for intensive supervision as for routine supervision, and cites the fact that the proportion of arrests to crimes committed was not significantly higher for criminals under intensive supervision as evidence for this claim. However, this statement does not itself form the basis for the argument's conclusion.

Option E is an assumption on which the argument relies. The argument states that the percentage of released criminals arrested while under supervision is the same for intensive supervision as for routine supervision, and concludes that intensive supervision is no more effective than routine supervision in preventing criminals from committing additional crimes. However, this conclusion relies on the assumption that the number of criminals put under routine supervision was not significantly greater than the number of criminals put under intensive supervision. If the number of criminals put under routine supervision was significantly greater, it could be that the percentage of released criminals arrested while under supervision is the same simply because there are more criminals under routine supervision. In that case, it would not be accurate to conclude that intensive supervision is no more effective than routine supervision

Hi, the explanation videos for Sufficient Assumption Questions Problem Set 3 are not playing for me. Any idea what I need to do to watch these videos?

Hi everyone!

I'm hoping to get some advice on when you can book your writing sample for the January 2023 exam date. On my lsac account it says that the Launch LSAT Writing link will appear on my account 8 days prior to my testing date. Therefore, 8 days prior to my actual lsat test, will I then register for a ProctorU day and time for my writing sample?

Any advice or experience would be appreciated as this is my first time completing the writing sample so I'd love some clarification.

The question is described here. It is PT 56 Section 2 Question 23. I was stuck between D and E and eventually chose D. I have read that it is incorrect because it is an illegal reversal, I just do not understand how.

I basically wrote it out like /Intervention -> Extinct and contraposed that as /Extinct -> Intervention which led me to answer choice D. What did I do wrong?

Does anyone else have the issue of no slots showing up? I've gone through every hour in the rang, and no options show up.

Hello all, I barely registered for the February lsat yesterday and didn't know that accommodation requests were also due yesterday. Unfortunately, I did not sign up for the accommodation request in time and this will severely jeopardize my performance level on test day. I decided to register for the April LSAT that way I will have proper accommodation. Would I be able to submit my application prior to taking the April LSAT? Or do you think I should just try the February LSAT, send the score in, submit application, and then take the April LSAT? For reference, Im applying to SOCAL schools such as UCI, U of SD, Cal Western, Chapman, Loyola, Western State, Southwestern, and others. I know these schools do accept the April LSAT but Im just worried that this can seriously jeopardize my chances. Any advice?

Why is c) correct?

b) seems like the right answer to me.

Can someone please explain.

i had trouble really explaining why A and B were wrong. Only that E felt the best in matching. And this was after mapping out each answer choice and BR... any idea?

Hi everyone,

This is in reference to LG but applicable for all sections, does anyone have tips for finishing on time more regularly? My blind review prep test scores are pretty good but without fail I leave a few questions blank (often 5 or 6 for LG) when I do practice tests.

TIA!

How do we find out where it is taken? I registered but it never said where I go to take the exam or the format of the exam

Can someone explain why it's A and not B?

How do you deal with this type questions? I am so confused. Watch the video by JY in CC. It looks simple but when I am doing it my brain is jammed…

Can anyone explain this answer? #help

help I said C initially but during BR switched to E. I thought C was wrong because barren conditions doesn't exactly say much about weather conditions and E could explain the discrepancy because if beetles are older they're likely to appear sooner in the record than pollen....

I chose B with certainty in my blind review, but found out that D was the correct answer.

Is the answer choice B not the correct answer because it does not mention the "certain size" of political interest group?

Also, if D is the correct answer, does it mean that "as wide a membership as possible" is supported by what the passage says "exceeds a certain size"?

Thank you in advance!

I tend to fluctuate in the LR section. I want to improve it to the point where I get a -3 or -4 consistently. Now the problem is when I get a practice test that has two LR sections, I tend to do great in one of them and okay in the other. I have checked the difficulty levels and they both tend to be similar. Any advice on what I should do to achieve my goal? Should I be doing more drills to see where my problem is?

Hello,

Throughout my LSAT journey, LR continues to be my weakest point. I've started to do drills lately to significantly improve my understanding. However, on the timed score I've been averaging -12-14 but on the BR score, the average is between -2-5/section. Some issues I've started to notice are, time, not reading properly on timed sections, misinterpreting the AC's, or just kind of freeze & freak out. As soon as I BR, I'm able to see my errors and choose the correct AC. I do take anywhere between 2-4 hours to complete it. I understand that it's not an ideal time-frame, my goal is to improve on my time strategy. But, can anyone offer any advice or help for the huge discrepancy between my timed and BR score? Or should I just keep trying to improve my foundational knowledge and time?

So I registered for the Jan LSAT, expecting to get more info on exactly how the test was administered, what devices are compatible, what I need to bring etc. So can someone explain the dynamics of how you actually take the exam? I have an new 2021 Ipad with keyboard and want to make sure that’s compatible with taking the test.

Are there restrictions on where I can take the test? I dont have a place to take it at home so I’m looking into the best places for taking it that also satisfy all LSAC requirements (aka renting private study room in Library).

What am I allowed to bring with me? Ive been doing all my PTs with a blank piece of paper to write notes or draw diagrams but if im taking it online am I allowed to do that?

LSS: how do I make sure I’m fully prepared for the exam and dont have anything surprise me on exam day. Any suggestions/rules are appreciated!

Hello everyone I just finished the CC and am still having difficulty with LR section under timed conditions. I have a pretty large discrepancy between my score under timed conditions and untimed (150’s Timed to 170’s untimed).

I just got the loophole because I need to improve my LR performance but I’m unsure about it’s effectiveness and whether it’s worth going through it if I already completed the CC.

My question to you is for those who have done both the CC and Loophole or just Loophole what do you guys suggest is the best way to approach the book. Should I even bother? If you did the CC first do you find it more confusing now to go through the book? What are the best benefits of the book?

Anything will be appreciated!

I'm wondering if it is important to have a different approach for example science passages as opposed to a humanities passage...

Is A the right answer because it's refuting the claim that polls influence voter decisions and hence the need for them to be banned one week prior to the election? I can see why it's A from process of elimination, but it didn't seem too appealing as an answer choice. #help

can someone help? I don't see a distinction between both levels of oxygen

I don't understand why this answer is correct. I chose (B), but the correct answer is (E). Please help me! I can't find an explanation online.
