Need help in explaining why (A) and (D) is wrong.

I understand that we need to strengthen the argument that the firm's need to reduce the tests on live animals and therefore use new tests: cultures of human cells.

However, (A) seems to infer that because there has been a move against live animal tests by social activists, cosmetics firm is motivated to reduce live animal test and use new test.

(D) also seems to implicate that if the number of the tests can be reduced by using human cultures, then the firm should use it instead of live animal test.

I chose (E) anyway but still doubtful. Is (E) the best answer because I don't need to make any inference at all?

Started working through CC in January this year and have increased my score by 25 points since then. I took the June test and the night before that one I posted a similar discussion wishing everyone luck and reminding everyone that mentality is SO important going into this. When I took my June test I sadly had a medical condition flare up. I sat through the test anyway and sadly was not able to perform at my best. However, I am not letting that stop me from annihilating this test tomorrow. You heard it here first: I scored over a 173 and am confidently applying to my dream schools. Feel free to claim your scores here as well -- and remember -- you are ready and you got this!

Sending an anxiety free and dare I say... fun... test your way this weekend. Hope y'all enjoyed my commentary on the CC and the PTs, it's been lit.

Hello! I am new to 7Sage and am a little confused on the setup. I noticed there is an option to choose volume 1 or 2 and they each have different amounts of lessons and required hours. I did not realize there were two volumes of study material and have been going through logic games on volume 2, which has less material. Which one are we supposed to be choosing?

Stim: Japan is model for such sort of training effort & nothing is implicated about its economy

=>which makes ACs (B) and (C) to quickly be eliminated

(A) - worldwide shortage? who cares? irrelevant

(E) - ??? nothing is implied about European countries having better economies

(D)- can definitely be implied from 1st sentence and 3rd sentence together.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

By the way, I still get the conclusion from the stim. Is it the first sentence?

Any Advice Greatly Appreciated

Currently panicking because I'll be taking the September and October exams. I want to be scoring at a 160+, but the latest PT I took was at 145. Keep in mind I took that PT about a month ago, and I was on vacation when I took it. Starting next week I'll be trying to PT every twice a week, but I'm nowhere near done with the CC. I'm trying my best to work through it as much as possible and as efficiently as possible, but definitely panicking internally. Any advice?

I want to run through the CC as quickly and efficiently as I can. I'm around 50% done with LG, and around 20% done with LR and RC.

LSAT Writing

If I canceled a previous LSAT score, does the writing still apply? I know it says you only have to do the writing once regardless of how many LSATs you take- just making sure it still applies if I canceled my previous score.

I fool proof my games before I move on. I'm just worried that as time goes on I'll forget part of them and they will no longer be fool-proofed.

I fool-proofed some of the games, and I know I can go 24 hours and still keep them fool-proofed. But how long should I wait before I practice them again to ensure they stay fool-proofed?

I know some of you are probably like, "are you serious..." (lol).

I like spaced repetition though I have no idea how long I should space them out for... kinda freaking me out atm hahah.

Any advice? :D

Need Advice

Hello,

I am aiming to take the November LSAT. My highest PT was a 145 untimed. After trying different study courses, I feel lost on where to pick back up. My worst section is logic games, mainly scoring (-12+). I am constantly hovering around (-12) on each of the other sections. Every time I hunker down on a specific things, I think about how behind I am on other topics. It really interferes with getting work done. I have underestimated this test up to this point. I am ready to commit to a serious study schedule.

Logical Reasoning Help

If anyone has any tips on LR, I would appreciate it. I have been studying for about 3 months and have gone through Core Curriculum and several practice tests, I have also went through Ellen Cassidy's Loophole book.

I have consistently drilled around -6 to -10 and would like to get down to -3 to -5 for LR sections. Looking at patterns I do well in Q's 1-10 yet I usually miss 5 or 6 in a row in the back half of the section 17-25.

Any tips would be appreciated!!

I came across this issue when I was doing June 2020 Section 2 Question 25. I thought unrepresentative sample applied because the sample was on [test subjects before experiments] and the conclusion was on [test subjects after experiments]. But a few people have told me that the "unrepresentative sample" answer choice is only for statistically unrepresentative things, like only interviewing 10 people when the population is 100,000.

Hi all - Maybe a stupid question here, but for those of us taking the LSAT this weekend at an in-person testing center, we are not required to bring anything beyond our govt ID, login/testing credentials, correct? I assume computers will be provided, along with scratch paper for the applicable sections. Are these correct assumptions? Apologies if these answers are elsewhere, but with this being the first test date under the ProMetric "regime", I figured it would be best to seek clarfication. Best of luck to everyone!

I was going to ask if anyone could help me out with answer choice A and B, but I think I figured it out.

(A) You don't know that cell death OFTEN does not occur in test animals. The stimulus does not support this answer choice.

(B) "Until now studies ... have always involved administering to test animals doses of additives larger than the largest possible human exposure levels and massive enough to kill large numbers of cells in the animals, and then observing the ... rate" definitely supports our answer choice (B), which says that results encouraged overestimation!

Hi everybody! I'm trying to improve my speed on logic games and currently I'm taking about 1.5-2 minutes too long on basic logic games, but I'm within the target time frame for harder logic games. I'm not sure what this means, but maybe I'm taking too long to do the setup for the game? Does anybody else have this problem/have any advice for this? Thanks in advance! :)

LR strategy - good or bad?

I've been noticing that I do worse on the second half of LR sections because I run out of time and the questions get harder. Is it a bad strategy to start with the second half of the test first? I just tried it and did better, but not sure if there's any downsides. I liked that at least when I'm running out of time, the easier questions are typically in the beginning..

Most Effective Studying

Hi, just wondering some thoughts on what the most effective study method is for most. Do I just go down through the syllabus in the order that it shows, or do I continue to stay in a section I am currently in (MSS for LR) retaking the drills until I start getting 100% on all the questions, and start to answer them with the targeted time? #help
