I am confused on why B is correct. I originally discounted it because it says "only by discovering the chemical composition of the protoplasm... ." I did not think that the passage reflected that this is the only way, but rather that it is an important aspect. Any help is much appreciated!
Could anyone explain why the answer for this question is A instead of E? Should we gave gleaned from the stimulus that the fungi turned the logs to dead and decaying rather than them already being in that state beforehand?

Because of all of the problems with the remote August LSAT, should I consider switching to in-person for the September exam? Has LSAC committed to solving the issues that came up? I would just switch to in-person, but I'm worried a change in setting will have a significant impact on my score. I've been taking my practice exams in relatively the exact setting I will take my real exam in, and I was really counting on that helping out with my "test day penalty". What is everyone else doing?
Re-posting this in a more organized manner so everything is in one place. Here is some context.
Last attempt for this cycle.
150 -> 155 -> 159.
I need a 161 at least to be at the median for my dream school. 2 more points.
Of course most of us feel less pressure / whole different dynamic practice test vs. real thing, but I was scoring 163 - 167 for the last 10 tests I took prior to the October LSAT. Not sure if my brain freezes or what. My average was 164 so I was expecting a 160 at least.
Please help, how can I get these two extra points? What would you do in my shoes?I guess Im asking if i retake all the ones i took and start from scratch 7sage? or focus more on review? obviously with the performance anxiety of it being real doesnt help me but instead is a deterrent, i need this to feel as "fake" and relaxed and possible. what do i do study method wise? Im willing to put in the work next month but dont know what to do study method wise.
Any help or insight would be much appreciated. thank you in advance
I am taking the Jan LSAT and scoring well on LG and LR but RC keeps dragging me down. What is the best way to boost my RC score with just over two weeks until test day?
So I am registered for the August lsat and currently averaging 157/158. I was previously scoring 160 highest being 162 before coming across the more difficult lr on pt 80s and 90s.
I am wondering if I should push my test to sept or if you guys think it is possible to increase my score to 162 range by August test.
I need a detailed explanation. thank you

JY says in the prep test explanation video there is a seperate video on 7sage to watch where all possible worlds are solved. Where can I find his video?

I chose C but I can see why it is A now. The premise is that there are these two cars which have different uses and weights. And we also learn that lighter cars are more fuel efficient. Therefore when the conclusion says "Since most automobile traffic is local... net saving in fuel blah blah blah. We need to fill the gap of "so most people must be using the lighter car when driving downtown. Therefore for A, which tells us that most families that drive long distances have two cars, that is the assumption we need which is that even people who have cars that drive long distances also have downtown lighter cars for local traffic.

I was between D and E, and ended up choosing E. I can see why D is correct, but why is E wrong? I thought "directive" used in this context could be used as compelling the society to unite whereas "guiding" seemed a bit weak in comparison.
Can someone elaborate on this please?
Prep Test 17 Section 4 Passage 3 #16
Could someone help me with why D is not the correct answer?
In the second paragraph, it gives the stats for carbon taxes and says "It should be noted, however, that these numbers ignore the effect of the tax on economic growth, and hence on emissions". Doesn't that imply that the taxes need to account for the effect on economic growth, and are thus influenced by it and would vary based on the effect that the tax would have on a country's economy (D)?

On the above mentioned section it mentions how many seats two different kids can sit in. By my reasoning Frank can only sit in seats 1 or 3 and Ruby can only sit in seats 2 or 4 so my answer was (B) Two. It says the correct answer is (C) Three. How is it three not two?

I Selected option B but the correct answer was option A
The reason I selected B is because I viewed that "some resident feel taxes where High" as the conclusion.
Could someone please make me understand why is option A correct?
I'm really thrown by this one. My thought process: a country with a stable economy is less likely to experience inflation or deflation. That is the assumption the author relies on. I thought (A) best reflected that, but the answer choice is (C), which I am struggling to understand. Why is the production of goods or services (which inflation/deflation depends on according to the author) specifically apart of the assumption?
PLEASE HELP

Hello. I am confused on why the 2nd section of LR, question 24, C is wrong for PrepTest 93 - June 2020
Hey guys, i'm wondering how people are planning on balancing their LSAT studying with prepping for applications. For context, I took the June test and got a 160, im hoping to take again in October to boost that as much as possible then have my application done in early November. Alot of things ive read and heard say not to wait until after your score to start apps cause they tend to take longer than you think to get through. Also, I am working full time so I really need to plan a course of action to not over commit myself. Any advice on how yall are metering your application essays while still grinding for the LSAT?
im doing better in the first attempt than blind review; im not confident enough and i put the answer i felt it could possibly be and i was right the first time although im still doing terribly
This mistakes correlation with causation. Just because less people flew that day does not mean it was due to Friday the 13th. I selected C and C is correct because the weather could have been a factor in why they did not fly that day.
By adding the correct answer choice, the argument sound coherent, and adding the premisse ( correct answer) bolsters the argument.
Since most automobile trafic is local, and most high speed highways are used by both commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles, a net saving in full was achieved with no loss in safety.
Hi guys, I am wondering if there is a study group in DC for September 2017.
Hi all I'm searching specifically for some astronomy or geology related RC, does anyone know where I can filter RC by topics?
For background, I've taken the LSAT twice and scored low 160's both times (albeit my second score was significantly lower than my PT averages). For the last 10 PTs, my average score is 169, peaking at a 175. My average performances are -3.4, -2.3, and -5 in LR, LG, and RC respectively.
I know what I need to do to better my LR and LG scores and I've gotten -0 on these sections before. The issue is I have no idea how to approach RC. My best was a -2 and I don't think I can reach -0 with my current tactics. I've gone through all the curriculum and am stuck because I feel like the only way I can improve in RC is by reading faster and being more attentive. I always aim for the big picture and the low resolution summaries slow me down considerably.
If you have a strategy for RC, even if it is unique, I would love to hear it! This is especially true if you have a strategy/strategies for specific question types on RC since I would love a more focused approach.
Can someone help explain this particular question to me?
