My two body paragraphs were complete. Yet, I did not finish my conclusion. Will this be to my disadvantage?

With this question, i was trying to find the conclusion to break down this question and I had a difficult time with what the answer should look like ' and what kind of support would be the correct answer.

Answer is C: I actually eliminated C pretty quickly on the grounds that the answer choice alleges the ethical principle does not help the journalist, whereas Anita states that the guidance is inadequate. If something is inadequate, I take that to mean it is insufficient for achieving a purpose. However, something can be inadequate but still help in a situation. If I say "the water from one fire hose is inadequate for putting out the forest fire," it doesn't mean that the water from the one fire hose does not help in extinguishing the fire. It most definitely helps, but is insufficient to achieve that purpose.

Can someone tell me why answer choice C is correct? I ended up eliminating every answer choice in this question and just guessed since I was stumped.

Hi - trying to look through previous discussions / on the LSAT website but couldn't find a clear answer. I have blank paper but it's yellow. Is that okay, or does the blank paper have to be white? Thanks in advance!

Can anyone explain why c is right and b is wrong?

Hi , I am currently signed up for the October Lsat, but I am feeling like I should change it to November just to try and bring my score up a little bit more, but the registration for November is closed, so does that mean I could not change my test date to that test month? I emailed LSAC to see, but I do not want to try until I get a definite answer because then I will not take the LSAT until January.

Got absolutely cucked by the time slots for the October test because LSAC only allows a testing window of 25 hours for international takers. I'm seeing that ProctorU has an option called "Take It Soon" where you can schedule to take the test earlier. Does anyone know if I'll be able to change my test time if I select this option?

Im having trouble knowing when to include words like "H/T" in a space. What clues should I be paying attention in including a word/word?

I know it all depends / repetition etc but im generally wondering- when I drill reading what difficulty should I do at? does anyone know what avg difficulty is on tests like one level two one level three etc for reading?

Like if I drill one 3 dot law passage, 4 dot science, 2 dot humanities, then mix it up another time, etc?

Anyone have/ know of a set of flash cards for words which queue up different types of questions?

I know it seems trivial, but I want to have the queue words memorized so I can just look at a question and know BAM it's a "sufficient assumption" question. Sometimes the wording can take me a sec to identify, and seconds count.

Hi there, would anyone be able provide an explanation in regard to how to identify advanced linear vs hybrid games?

Thank you!

i just did pt92's experimental logic games section and found a chart really helpful for game 2. anyone know of any other chart games for practice?

M → F

/J → /M

/M

I took the contrapositive of M > F which got me /F > /M

Then I inferred that /F or /J would net me /M. Which means that the arrows can split in the sufficient condition.

Which means the sufficient assumption for /M would either be to negate F (/F), or to make it that /F > /J (/F > /J > /M)

Is this correct? Or am I missing some other possible sufficient assumption.

Does anyone’s else’s Nov Lsat notes say Score Validity Review?

I’m super nervous there’s not much info on exactly what it means. Seem like some people had theirs canceled and I’m am hoping that is not the case. Any insight would be helpful.

When it asks about the primary function of a specific paragraph, should we pick the answer that connects it back to the whole psg/MP or the answer that relates it to one part (like the paragraph at hand is meant to exemplify the last sentence of the previous paragraph or something like that but that in turn is meant to support the MP)?

And when it asks about the primary function of a specific word or line, should we pick the answer that connects it back to its role in the paragraph it's in or the answer that relates back to the whole psg/MP?

Also is there a difference in the approach if it asks about the "primary function" versus "function?"

I'm finding myself taking a bit longer and getting these function questions wrong and would appreciate any insight or method that helped you!

Hi, I chose C but not firmly sure why is the correct answer.

Even though all professions involves a certain degree of subjectiveness, but this is not the same as "determined by" subjectiveness. If all jobs are involves merely a certain weak degree of subjectiveness--not to the extent of being determined by it, then this answer choices does not really point out a flaw.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Hi everyone, just want to confirm the validity of the answer choices. I find this question confusing, even though I can see (A) is the best AC.

The breakdown of the core is:

ignore anything not directly related to the funded research ——> serendipity is no longer a part of scientific discovery

I can eliminate B,D,E on first read, and after looking into (A), it's essentially saying: directly related——> purposefully seek(no serendipity)

So the conclusion of the argument can go like: ignore anything not directly related to the funded research——>focus on only the directly related stuff——>purposefully seek(no serendipity)——>serendipity is no longer a part of scientific discovery Correct?

However, I still feel like (A) is just the contrapositive of the conclusion! If so, does it work for necessary assumption questions to use contrapositives as the bridge?

Also, is (C) wrong because "personally prefer" is a big stretch?

Thanks a lot!

Hi folks - I'm taking the Nov test and I'm running into issues with negating to prove / disprove assumption questions. I've referenced JY's main negating "topic" but it's brief and I was told he has much more info on this in the course - I just need to locate it. Any suggestions would be VM appreciated! Thanks :)

Hey guys! Who I drill MSS questions, I lays get all the "very low" questions correct, then when it gets to "low" questions and "high" questions, I always get down to the last 2 choices and pick the wrong one on the first go then pick the right one on the blind review. Are there any tips on how to distinguish between the last 2 answer choices in the time frame on the first go? thanks!

I've been able to consistently get -0 or -1 in LG, and I got my first perfect LR (both sections) yesterday. Best RC score I've gotten was -1, but I've been scoring -3 to -4 pretty consistently. I'm definitely doing better than when I started, and I'm usually able to catch most if not all mistakes during BR, but I'm having trouble nailing down those last few points while I'm timed (even when I'm not feeling rushed). Any tips on improving RC? Thanks in advance!

Flaw: Conditional Logic Flaw

Conclusion: A wants to attract more business

Anticipate: 1. The author mistakes what is necessary to be sufficient and vice versa.

2. Does supporting cooper ? Guarantee? attracting more business.

REMEMBER KEEP PREMISES TO BE TRUE.

it must be true that A is supporting cooper! But the conclusion is FALSE. does it mean they ONLY want more business? what if there's other reasons.

Since mass can be determined by the brightness, if the brightness is lower than previously thought, shouldn't it be that the mass is also higher than previously thought? If the brightness was thought to be 40% and mass 50 but brightness is actually 20, wouldn't the mass also be less than 50, hence lower than previously thought?

I'm not sure I understand this question - what does 60 times less light mean? Is that supposed to be an absolute number? It seems pretty relative to me.

Hello, I took the August 2022 LSAT and the LG section had me very confused. I had never seen anything like it and when kept looking around at my practice tests for something similar, I was still unable to find something like the one I had on the test day. Would you be able to provide any assistance in pointing me in the correct direction, I do not want to make the same mistake on my next test.

Is the test on the tablet issued in landscape style or portrait style? I want to practice it the way it comes up on the tablets at the testing site on my ..laptop (tablet style).

I listened to JY's BR call on this question ( https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/21699 ).

I don't get why he was so dismissive of answer choice C -- I would say it weakens the argument. An alternative explanation as to why the artist's face showed up in the painting (other than him painting it himself) serves to weaken the argument that painter of the painting has been determined. And that's what C provides -- his face may be there because the actual painter used him as a live model. I mean, he's an artist, completely reasonable that he would be in the milieu of artists in the area, and was asked by a friend to pose as a live model.

I agree that D more strongly weakens, but disagree with (what seemed to be) JY's position that C doesn't weaken at all.
