Okay...am I losing my mind here? The type of work described in AC A (the alleged correct answer) isn't even mentioned in Jorge's statement. AC E (what I chose) describes a work of art that both Shanna and Jorge have differing opinions on. Unless moral right =/= ethical right, or if "tires of it" doesn't qualify as "finds caring inconvenient", I really do not see how answer choice E is incorrect. Could this be a mistake in the system?

For example, say we took the conditional statement "raindrops are formed in the clouds unless there not is an eastbound wind."

Group 3 translation would be: "If there is an eastbound wind, raindrops are formed."

In this situation, can we assume that the eastbound wind comes first and then raindrops are formed afterwards?

I'm consistently missing about -2 or -3 on LG. When I go back to do them after I score my PT without looking at the correct answer (only knowing that I got that question wrong), I get them right. I haven't been able to find a pattern in the questions I miss. They are usually unflagged, not-even-hard games or questions. I really want to get to -0 for August. Any advice appreciated!

I marked this as a time-change flaw because it seems as though the author is using the past to predict the future. Does anyone else feel like it would be fair/correct to call it a time-change flaw? Obviously E is also an attractive answer since you cannot fully isolate the variables involved in preventing nuclear war, but aren't you simply supposed to assume that the information in the stimuli is correct and mostly valid when dealing with flaw questions?

Hi,

Can anyone explain to me their reasoning about how they approached the correct answer here?

I thought that A (the correct answer) was wrong here because we have no idea why Chopin did not believe in the local colorists' idealization on line 38. Thus, it doesn't have to be because Chopin thought that the local colorists were "misguided" (aka wrong).

On the other hand I thought that B was right because it seemed a little more supported: in lines 32-35, it at least explains why Chopin wrote using local colorists' conventions: because she thought that the sentimental novels she read when she was little were a bit too excessive. In addition, my thought was: why write something that is so emotional in such a detached manner (line 37) unless you wanted to deafen the emotional impact?

Any #help would be appreciated!

Best regards

I thought the answer was C, but could someone explain why it is E?

Would love to hear where you took it and how the experience went! Would it be okay to register for a test center in one country and take the Flex online in another country?

Thanks in advance!

What’s the distinct definition of and/or explanation of the assumption in a mistaken reversal. Mistaken Reversals are daunting at times when I’m under pressure, sometimes I pick up on them, sometimes I don’t 🤦🏾‍♀️ 🥴🥴😩😂 I’ve found at times that when comparing the variables A and B in the premises that the follow A and B Variables in the conclusion; I find they are never identical 😩 that’s why I sometimes mistake- mistaken reversal for mismatched concepts instead; because my variables never follow in order for me to confirm the “like terms” were flipped 🥴 also if that is not the case should I always follow the necessary variable in premises and make sure it isn’t flipped to the sufficient in the conclusion ?!? #Help lol am I overthinking it?!?

I keep misinterpreting the question or what the stimulus is really saying/asking for. This leads me to kind of develop my own assumption of what the answer should be or even misinterpret the entire stimulus itself, which leads me to get really easy questions wrong. I don't know if this is because I am not reading carefully or slowly enough... does anybody have this same issue or have any suggestions for me? #help

I have no idea how the answer is E. I am not connecting anything here. Can someone please explain.

7 Sage Sentence:

Practice IS REQUIRED to be a skilled artist.

SA—->P

Loophole Sentence:

One MAN in his time IS REQUIRED to play many parts.

M—->PMPS

Commentary:

I assumed “MAN IS required” to be the necessary and “play man sports” to be the sufficient since MAN IS THE REQUIREMENT?!? (PMS —>M) however, regurgitating that info out loud to myself, I realized within context it didnt make sense; but when does the LSAT ever make an effort to make sense 🤷🏽‍♀️🥴😭...why is that Both statements above mirror one another in terms of terminology but differ in context ?!?! #HELPPP

COMMENTARY:

I am confused I assumed “MAN IS required” to be the necessary and “play man sports” to be the sufficient. (PMS —>M) however, regurgitating that info out loud to myself, I realized within context it didnt make sense; but when does the LSAT ever make an effort to make sense 🤷🏽‍♀️🥴I guess I’m curious to know why both sentences aren’t diagramed the same when their both in the same format ?!?!😭... #HELPPP

“Some anthropologists argue that the human species could not have survived prehistoric times if the species had not evolved the ability to cope with diverse natural environments. However, there is considerable evidence that Australopithecus afarensis, a prehistoric species related to early humans, also thrived in a diverse array of environments, but became extinct. Hence, the anthropologists’ claim is false.“

Could someone please show me verbatim how to diagram the entire passage Via formal logic and cross reference the mismatched terms that the author used in order to draw the false inference. According to the question it is a mistaken reversal and I am very comfortable diagraming up until the term “however”, after that I got so confused as to what the author was trying to translate.

Now if I’m not mistaken Jy mentioned that because the the author concluded that “the anthropologist Claims were false

ANTHRO CLAIM

“If survive ———-> Cope”

AUTHOR CONCLUSION

“Not survival ——-> Not Cope”

Are those the 2 conditional statements that conflict, that make this entire passage a mistaken reversal ?

Also please keep in mind I kind of dis regarded the premise right above the conclusion because the verbiage is confusing as it doesn’t appear to be a conditional statement that I can diagram

When practicing the memory method, J.Y. advocates writing 1-5 word "low res" summaries for each paragraph on RC. Given that this takes very minimal time, is it recommended to do this on the scratch paper during the real test? Or is it simply an exercise for helping build memory? #help

I have a question about what you guys do after a PT in regards to your wrong LR answers. I know a lot of people do wrong answer journals which seems like a great idea, but I was wondering what exactly those who do that write down for each wrong question. Do you go over each answer choice and write out an explanation? What made you pick that specific wrong answer? etc. A lot of people have said this led to lots of improvement and I am hoping someone could explain what has worked and helped them. Thanks!

I completed my July LSAT flex on Tuesday and still have yet to do my writing. I have two questions. 1) is it problematic not to complete the writing on the same day as the exam and will this hurt my applications. 2) If not, how long is the LSAT writing available to take?

Hi,

I called the LSAC to withdraw my July LSAT flex registration last week, and they completely cleared it on my LSAC account. They also instructed me to cancel the ProctorU scheduled test session, so I cancelled it. However, I still see July exam that is pending on my account, which is very confusing. Is it correct that we just needed to cancel the session, and we can ignore that the exam is pending on our account?

Answer choice D makes sense but I do not understand the difference between D and C. Are they not saying the same thing? Doesn't salt increase chances of food poisoning by not letting food cook thoroughly?

This version of the memory method has helped me to build the link between low resolution summaries and higher resolution summaries.

On the first 3.5 minute reading, I write low resolution summaries (less than five words) for each paragraph. Because these are generally only two to three words, when I flip the passage over for the second round of 1.5 minute summaries I am in virtually no danger of forgetting them.

When I flip the passage over for the 1.5 minute summaries, instead of simply trying to remember the low res summaries, instead I actually try to take them and expand them to higher resolution (10-15 word) summaries without looking at the passage. This has helped me strengthen my ability to "build" 2-3 word low res summaries into higher resolution summaries in my head without ever having to look at the passage.

Then I do the questions (per usual).

There really isn't a "phase two" because this is generally targeted at students who already feel comfortable with low res summaries. This is more of an exercise to use once you've built a strong foundation of being able to summarize passages into one or two words, and mainly targets your memory's ability to "fill out" the rest of the paragraph when you "call" upon a low resolution summary. Because high resolution summaries take longer than low resolution ones, I sometimes (...often) take more than 1.5 minutes to do the second step. This method may not work for everyone but I have definitely seen improvement in my ability to actually use the low res summaries once I commit them to memory, and I figured I'd share it just in case it could be helpful to anyone else. Let me know if it works for y'all!

Which approach benefited you?

I had a very stressful experience with ProctorU and it took almost 2 hours until I was finally able to log on and start the exam due to various technical difficulties and multiple disconnects from their tech support. When I was finally able to start the exam I was still extremely stressed and on the verge of a panic attack, and asked my proctor to pause the exam briefly so that I could regain my composure (I was hyperventilating, dizzy, and shaking severely). The exam was paused for about 30 seconds and I was not far into the section at all, and the exam proceeded with no other issues. I asked the proctor if my score would be cancelled or if my test would have to be reviewed due to the pause, and she said she didn't know. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar or has any insight to offer on how this could impact whether or not I receive a score.

Hey,

First, thanks for taking time to read this! I'm taking the July Flex this afternoon and have a last minute question.

Second, just wondering if the ProctorU or Lawhub LSAC portal is the place to go to start the test? In my ProctorU account I see a countdown that I anticipate will turn into a "Take Test" button after it runs out; is this correct? If not, would you quickly mind telling me where to find such feature?

Thanks so much!

Felipe

I was stuck between B and C and don't see why B is wrong. Doesn't it support the claim that it IS better to dump in a scarcely populated area?

Do I need to finish the writing section before I see my July score on the 30th, or do I just need to complete it before submitting my score to schools in the fall? Thanks!
