I just am stuck between C & D.. I think both of them answer why the author thinks the question is imprecise? What am I missing? #help

I have been looking at this question for a while and A, B, C appeared correct at first. I narrowed it down to C because it seemed like he was mocking and taunting the opposing view as to suggest their report ludicrous, an appeal to emotion. I ruled out A and B because although true, that did not seem like the main method of reasoning he was using. Now that I know B is in fact the correct answer, I have eliminated A & C on the grounds that they are referring to context parts and the major premise "could not imagine any senator..." seems to imply Answer choice B more closely ...What do you guys think?

Hi! My main struggle is the reading comp section- likely because I suffer from ADHD. The syllabus appears to not have much on reading comprehension unfortunately, so I have a few questions.

thank you

I'm planning on writing in November after the LSAT goes fully digital and I was curious about what kind of tablet LSAC provided. Was the screen resolution quality good? Was the tablet attached to a desk or were you able to move it around? Did you have any problems during the test (technical or comfort related)?

Thanks!

help Can you help me understand the conclusion and the answer choice of A.

Can someone explain why this answer is not D. And confirm the conclusion please. Is there a different way to explain this other than what was explained several years back. Thank you

I'm taking the test in September, and I'm trying to really crack down so I can break my plateau and increase to where I want to be. It always helps to talk out certain questions and discuss study methods and techniques, so if anyone is in Orange County and wants to meet up, or would be down to work on certain problem sets & then discuss, let me know!

What are your strategies for fool proofing LG with the digital test? Do you still print the "bundle"/PT 1-35?

I am scheduled to take the November LSAT and need advice on when I should start taking timed sections. I get majority of the questions right without the time constraint but as soon as I try to take a timed section I psych myself out. Also, how many PT's should I be taking starting now up until November?

Hey all - anyone want to clarify if scratch paper will be available for LR come September? Or is it only available for LG? Sometimes I still have to diagram out the logic and am a little worried.

Thanks!

Could somebody explain to me why the correct answers are correct for questions 7, 18, and 25?

Why is 7 (e) instead of (b), why is 18 (d) instead of (c), and why is 25 (b) ?

Appreciate any help, thanks

In terms of formal logic, Does “probably” mean “most”?

Or in other words, does “probably” mean 51% or more?

Did anyone take the rescheduled exam on July 29, 2019?

If so, how were everyone's feelings?

Without coming off as too salty about it, why the unusually long break between the July LSAT and the release of the scores? I guess it is to examine inconsistencies between paper and digital. Perhaps it could be other data gathering, but I am curious to know.

Hi! I know everyone has different strategies for what works well for them for FP LG PT 1-35.

I would love to hear others experiences in how they saw optimal improvements working their way through each of the game sections.

Wondering what tools/tactics everyone is using to learn any new vocabulary encountered through reading comp?

Flashcard apps?

Or just good old writing them down in a notebook/word doc and memorize?

Also someone who scored 180 recommended going through the Barron's GRE vocab book. I feel like I don't have enough time to do that AND go through the entire Ultimate curriculum though. Any thoughts?

Just learned how the CAS GPA system works. My school unfortunately has not had A minuses throughout my last 3 years of undergrad, and therefore, there’s quite a few 91-92% type B+ grades on my transcript that will come in looking lower on the CAS GPA calculator....am I screwed here? Do I need a weakness addendum ready? Looking at mostly T14 schools and already teeter on the edge of most medians before the CAS Calc...

Hi,

I have this argument: "Because we locked the door, no one can break into our house."

The book says that this is not a necessary assumption: "The door is the only way in and out of the house, and the lock impenetrable."

But I thought that if the door is not the only way in/out and the lock is penetrable then you can't really say that if you lock the door no one can break into your house.

Can someone please explain to me why that assumption is not necessary?

Thank you!

Hey everyone,

So, I'm consistently scoring in the mid 160's, which is a big improvement for me (started off at 155). I usually get no more than 3 wrong per LR section, and no more than 2 wrong on LG. But reading comp..... I can't seem miss fewer than 7 questions. I get anywhere from -6 to -12 wrong on each timed RC section that I do. I got a 165 most recently, and that was with -11 on RC.

I just don't get it– I make a low resolution summary for each paragraph that I read, and I usually think I have a good grasp of the material going into the questions. But, when I hit the questions, it feels like I didn't even read the passage. The questions feel like they're discussing a foreign topic, and I end up guessing/referring aimlessly back to the passage in attempting the questions without any rhyme or reason. I never find my low-resolution summaries useful. Yes, I make them as concise and descriptive as possible (I don't use more than one word to explain what happened in a paragraph), but they never help me. JY makes it look easy in his videos, but come PT/drill time, everything I worked on goes out the window. For those of you who've seen great improvement in RC, how did you do it?

Thank you all!

I want to take the October LSAT, but the exam falls on a Monday. I have four classes every M/W/F at my college. I am wondering if taking this exam will count as an excused absence or unexcused? I know every college is different, but i'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what the outcome was. I'm worried because the LSAT will fall somewhere around my midterms, but I can't be sure until I get my syllabi for the classes next month. I want to make sure that if I do have to miss a midterm for the LSAT that it will count as excused and I will be able to take midterms later.

Please let me know if anyone has any idea because I cannot find the answer on my school's absence policy. Thanks!

Hello all,

What came to my mind with drilling LG is using an opaque highlighter (preferably not yellow) to draw your main game board. Doing so saves me time from having to re-draw a lot of small diagrams next to the questions.

I do realize that sub-game boards, quite often, help eliminate some AC in other questions.

So use this hack as your discretion, but I found this method to be particularly useful with grouping games with a chart, because re-drawing charts just TAKE TOO DAMN LONG.

Give it a try if you want!

Hi everyone looking for some advice here! So I took the June 2019 exam and I did not score where I wanted too. I scored a 150. My goal is to hit 168+ that being said I know I have a lot more studying a head. I just recently bought the LSAT trainer to help me better my skills and I am making a study schedule to incorporate JYs memory method for RC and fool proof method for LG. I am applying to this cycle and I need to make sure that I get this exam score. Is october too late to apply. I wanted September because I wanted to apply early in the cycle, but I do not want to rush this and god forbid have to take it a third time. With the Sept. exam being in 8 weeks and the October exam being in 12. What do you guys think is best? asking in desperate need of advice, I already feel like bad for having to retake but to further push the exam is that too late for the application cycle, for someone who would want to be applying rather early? I am also planning on working on my application that way by the time my score would be released I would be ready to go? Please any advice would be great Thank you!!!

I'm up to the part of the CC that discusses how to approach Argument Part Questions.

From what I understand, after reading the question but before reading the stem, we should label the sentence/phrase that the question is asking us to describe, in order to keep the goal in mind.

I have 2 questions about this.

And vice versa?
