Hi- I have been focusing on NA questions, and was looking for quick ways to identify answers. I had some trouble differentiating between (B) and (E). The right answer is B. My question is---- Will the answer in Necessary Assumption Questions follow the format below?

answer---------> conclusion which is equiv. to ~conclusion---------------> ~answer

The question is below. I have diagrammed B and E.

"People who browse the web for medical information Admin edit: Please review our forum rules. Please don't post licensed LSAC materials."

(B)

~Diagnose medical cond. do more harm----------------------------> rely exclusiv. on scientific info

~rely exclusiv. on scientifi info------------------------------------> Diagnose medical cond. do more harm

vs.

(E)

Diagnose medical cond. do more harm----------> rely on quackery

~rely on quackery-----------------------> ~diagnose medical cond. do more harm

Which one of the following is an assumption the argument requires?

I am just in my week 2 of the cc and its super frustrating to basically BR every single example video only to get it wrong. So instead of focusing on the negative, I am trying to stay positive and understand that I am just starting out and there is more room for improvement. Does anyone have any uplifting stories that basically parallel being bad at the cc in the beginning but crushing it on the test date?

So I took the LSAT for the first time this June, and after getting my score back I'm sitting on my hands wondering how I should proceed. I got a 170, which I know is a good score, but I feel kind of frustrated upon seeing the disclosures on my mistakes. I didn't enroll in the July test, so I would have to sit for it in September (prepping for another 3 months is...not ideal). I'm not sure whether it's worth trying again or if I should sit tight with this score.

Need Some Advice

I just got my June LSAT score back and I'm pretty disappointed. I studied for 6 months and did not get the score I was getting on my PTs at home. I think I run out of time on the day of the exam due to nerves and was wondering if anyone had some advice or could point me in the direction of a private tutor to work on timing in addition to continuing with 7sage. I could really use your help.

I generally wake up early in the morning, and I am the type of person that is productive in the morning and as soon as i do something "unproductive" I don't easily get started again. My question is what do people do (outside of running and meditating) in between waking up and taking a prep test at 12 pm to stay focused? Would it be a good idea to read a somewhat easy to read book, or will that somewhat tire the brain out?

anyone else...

on pins and needles about tomorrow?! I have to actively try to think about anything and everything else.

**Point at Issue

Argument Summary:**

S: An owner of a work of art have the ethical right to destroy that artwork if (1) they find it morally/visually distasteful or (2) caring for it becomes inconvenient. This right to destroy is given by virtue of ownership alone.

J: Owners of unique works of art do not have the moral right to destroy. Additionally, unique works that are of aesthetic or historical value belong to posterity and must be preserved.

Prephrase:

The overlap between these two deals with only unique artwork. Dogs Playing Poker is out of scope because J says nothing about /Unique pieces.

Answer Choices:

A) I quickly eliminated this under timed conditions and did not mark for BR but it is definitely correct. The key piece of this AC is “for that reason alone”. If, for example, your father was a prominent historical figure of whom portraits are rare, then you may not have the right to destroy based on J’s comments. Although S would argue for your right to destroy. Correct.

B ) This may be attractive to some who confuse “posterity” with “public viewing”. We could probably say that S agrees with this statement, but can we say J disagrees with it? I don’t think so. He doesn’t speak about public viewing and the bit about “belonging to posterity” doesn’t necessarily imply that either. Eliminate.

C) “Seldom”. Neither says anything about frequency. Eliminate.

D) “Not unique”. Eliminate. S’s statement includes this set of objects but J’s does not.

E) I chose this under timed conditions. “Legally” should have tipped me off that I had made an error. Replace “legally” with “morally” or “ethically” (morals /= ethics but it would be a reasonable shift in terms) and this could be correct. Eliminate.

To take or not to take

I am currently scheduled to sit for the July 2019 test. Given the unique circumstance of being able to cancel score with a free retake I have planned to take it; although, I am not scoring where I would like. However, I am wondering if scoring low will be a confidence setback and if I should cancel and schedule for the September test. Conversely, should I continue with the plan of sitting for the July test, possibly get the digital format which would give me a practice run at digital format?

Currently, I am taking a summer class concurrently with LSAT studying and will start fall classes the end of August. I mention that because it would give me additional time where I am primarily able to focus on LSAT studying. I would appreciate any general advice. Additionally for those of you who sat for the test more than once, how did you maintain your confidence approaching your second take? Was it a matter of the increased understanding you gained in the time from the first to second test?

Adding to the stress is that LSAC has yet to approve my accommodations request; therefore, I have not done a 35 minute timed section or overall PT with the time constraints.

I am having difficult time differentiating the following two types of question:

(1) Which one of the following could be a complete listing of the planes located in the four areas at noon, with each plane listed in every area in which it is located?

(2) Which one of the following is a compelte and accurate list of those planes any one o fwhich could be within area T at noon?

(1) asks to find a hypothetical world, where as (2) asks to find all the variables that can be at the area T at noon.

After reading several times, I finally get what each statement is asking for, but is there any easier way of detecting such types?

Thank you in advance!

Foolproof RC

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has been able to foolproof RC passages in their prep journey? I was wondering if you could share some tips on how to do it and whether it has helped you improve your accuracy & time

I’ve found my RC scores often depend on how quickly I’m able to complete “easy” passages. Is there a general time you high RC scorers aim for when it comes to the easiest passages? I feel like I should be able to do them in around 5 minutes but typically it takes around 6:30.

So, I've done the Trainer and the LG Bible. I use the Trainer's notation system, but I use the Bible's strat in terms of inferences. I can map 95% of games and rules with ease. I understand just about everything JY does on the games explanations. And I implement some of his material when fool-proofing. I still miss about 1 question per game and am around 10 or 11 mins per game for the medium-hard and up games.

My question is: Would the LG curriculum be worth the time for me? Or should I just drill? I'm trying to maximize my study time obvi.

Thanks in advance!

In parallel reasoning, the scope of the conclusion must be very similar. If the original argument has a "usually," then AC's conclusion must have a "most" or "usually" etc. Or if the conclusion is universal, "Bats are nocturnal," then the AC's conclusion must also be universal. (Right?)

In match the flaw, the scope of the conclusion is irrelevant.

This is a technical repost but I really do need some guidance here.

Hi all,

I have been lightly studying for 2 weeks and am going to buckle down as soon as I commit to a 7sage package.

My cold PT was a 149 and I’m really looking to push myself to a 162 - 166.

This brings me to my main question/concern. Can I digest premium/ultimate+ in this time frame. And, is my test date too late as well?

I originally wanted to take October but a nondiscolsed test for me is a no go. Also I’ve read that it’s ok to take a November test as long as you apply right when you get your score.

I want the best bang for my buck here, and that’s why I’ve chosen 7sage. So is ultimate+ worth it for my time frame?
