I'm really confused between A and D too and can't still understand why A is wrong.

I chose A. The reason why I thought D was wrong is "widely accepted theory" part. The author said it has "gradually" won accepted (Line 20) rather than widely accepted. I think gradually accepted and widely accepted are totally different.

So how is it possible D is the right answer?

And why is A wrong?

Please someone enlighten me.

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm always confused about these questions. I don't understand if the question is asking you all the potential objects that can belong in the group, or the potential objects in the group in one instance.

For example (Prep Test 43, Question 18): "Which of the following could be a complete and accurate list of each of the office buildings that the falafel tuck serves?"

A. X

B. X, Z

C. X,Y,Z

D. Y,Z

E. Z

A, B, and E can be eliminated based on the fact that the stimulus provides that F must serve Y. The answer is D because the question meant "in one scenario". However, I read it as "all the potential trucks" the Falafel truck could serve. In one possibility, F serves Y,X and in another Y,Z. So potentially, F could serve all 3 leading me to answer choice C.

I'm definitely reading this question wrong. Can someone please explain to me the wording difference between when they ask for all potentials vs. in one possibility?

Thanks a lot to whomever responds.

I still don't understand why D is wrong and E is the right answer.

I don't see why E is related to widespread use part. The reason why I chose D is "taking larger-than-prescribed doses" and "be fatal" part.

Can "taking larger-than-prescribed doses" be "widespread use" and "be fatal" be "could be dangerous" which the stimulus says?

Can anyone enlighten me why D is wrong and E is right?

Thanks!

Still feeling super iffy about taking the June LSAT. Can anyone confirm when is the last possible chance to withdraw from this test? LSAC says "June 8th 2014", so is it safe to withdraw on that day anytime before 11:59??

Thanks!

"June 2014 lsat score" thanks

Hi I am retaking the September 2014 LSAT and I am looking for a study partner around the LA/Pasadena/San Gabriel Valley area. Please email me at sweetcheeks_321@hotmail.com.

I chose D as an answer based on the whole passage (It talks about literary techniques, right?), but the right answer is A. I couldn't find which part of the passage makes A is a right answer.

I have no idea why D is wrong and A is the right answer.

Can anyone explain me?

Thanks!

I can't understand why C is the right answer.

I mean if Stilgoe's case would have been stronger if he used these sources then would that it indicate that their view was more negative towards the railroad then the other writers?

Based on this reason, that's why I chose E, but it turns out E is wrong.

I'm stuck in this question.

Can anyone tell me how C is right and E can't be an answer?

Thanks!

Hello, I am studying logic games not for taking the exam but for a programming course and so don't need the full course, but would like to view the sequencing games lessons and how to read the diagrams. Are there any free youtube tutorials on this that you recommend? Thanks!

Looking for a study partner. I've been studying for quite sometime and this will be my first sitting for the test. Will be going hard until test day.Let me know if interested!

I live in Indiana

Hi all,

I'm gearing up for the September 2014 test. Wondering if anyone in Orange County would like to meet up on weekdays after 6PM or on weekends.

JY mentioned that he would go over the difference "later," but I couldn't find it...

Does anyone know where this lesson is, and/or can explain the difference to me?

Thanks!

Anyone have a sense of general order of difficulty for Logic Games ---- And/Or a plan of attack based on that?

ie If the 3rd or 4th passage Game to be most difficult, then save to the end...

or if two games are equally difficult, save one with least questions for last?

Thoughts?

I simply had no clue for this one. And the correct AC seems to be making a huge assumption so I didn't choose it. Can we really reasonably infer that thieves who do not abandon cars before their owners notice that they have been stolen are more likely to get arrested and convicted? This just seem to be way too big of a gap, and frankly an unreasonable one, to be made.

Why do car thieves steal cars? To sell them or to keep them. So it's totally reasonable to assume that thieves DO NOT abandon the car right after stealing it. And I simply don't see how this makes them more likely to get caught as they could have driven really fast and got far away before the cops could do something.

Has anyone else had trouble with this question? What do you think?

When looking at the answer choices for SA questions would it be OK to immediately eliminate those that begin with only, always, no, etc.?

I've loved this course so far! However, one thing I struggle with more than anything is diagramming the Logic Games. For me, this is the hardest part of the section and I have lesser confidence in this section than all the others. Time and space for drawing is a constriction that further messes with my confidence, although I do diagram each clue out. My biggest program after is combining the clues. Can you offer any tips or suggestions?

Most of us are taught to make inferences for game Rules, but perhaps we should all be more on guard to make inferences when interpreting Questions….

Example:

LSAT 62 – Section 3 – Game 2:

When I hit question 11, I was already mentally exhausted so I didn’t make the key inference that JY pointed out…. that there was 1 g and 2 rs. Then it occurred to me that a lot of seemingly “local” questions state things a less than obvious way – and it’s far more effective to look for inferences IN THE QUESTION.

Again, I'm thinking we can all improve on effectiveness in LG if we also look to draw inferences in SOME questions - at least ones like in the example - they appear local but still too broad at first...

Thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently reviewing PT 37 that I completed yesterday and I'm on section 2 #12. Even watching JY's video, I'm still a little confused about the "cannot" and "without" in the stimulus. Anyway, I was just wondering-- what do you do when you have two indicators but they're in different groups? Or the way that JY presents it, maybe we're disregarding the "without" for being in group 3? And we're just treating it as a "no"?

I mean, either way, for the two indicators in one sentence issue--I feel like there was a lesson on this or that it was mentioned somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. If anyone could let met know or let me know what lesson it was in, that'd be great. And if you can further explain #12 I'd really appreciate it too! Thank you! :) Happy studying!

I'm having trouble figuring out the argument in this stimulus. I believe its saying:

Premise: While health care in other Western countries is supported by their tax revenues, the US government does not provide health care via tax. The US public health-care expense is ~5% of the GDP, but private is 7%. Thus, this 7% is tax.

Conclusion: It is incorrect to say that people of the US are "lightly taxed."

What the hell does that mean? This argument literally makes no sense. I can't follow which is probably why I can't pinpoint the flaw.

Any input would be helpful!

Has anyone used Odyssey Logic Games Revolution for LG? Don't get me wrong, 7Sage is Golden for me!! I have ZERO complaints! I love the explanations here but from time to time I need to see things from a different point of view for better understanding. If anyone has used Odyssey is it totally different, or would I be able to merge the two methods when needed? I don't want a new method because that would be confusing. I'm just trying to see if they're comparable.

So as part of my penance for letting the games hurt me in September (PT 73), I'm forcing myself to be super formal in my review as preparation for my December retake. For no particularly good reason, I started with Game 3. I'm working on the others and might post them too. For those who can't wait for JY's far superior explanations and clever quips, here ya go:

I'm pretty sure this doesn't violate copyright since I'm not including the game stimulus or questions or answers. If I am, please delete. :)

I picked E for this one, when the correct choice was C.

I realize that C is the VERY opposite and E is just less relevant (though still logically opposite) to the theory. So for LEAST questions, should we be looking for the VERY opposite? Or the WEAKEST?

I'm trying to working on my LG weaknesses using the LSAT analytic feature and one area that could use improvement is "Sequencing w/ conditional rules." Is there a list anywhere the groups Sequencing games by whether or not they have conditional rules? I've gone through all of the LG offered in my syllabus and I only see them listed as "Sequencing," "Spatial Sequencing," "Sequencing with a Twist" and "Sequencing and Grouping." Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I am curious to know if any study groups have formed in Lubbock, TX for the February 2015 LSAT?

To prepare for study abroad, exactly five students- M, N, P, R, and T- will learn at least one of four languages: French, Hindi, Italian, and Spanish. No student learns any other language. The following conditions apply:

No student learns all four languages.

At least two of the students learn French.

Any language that is learned by R is not learned by N.

If French is learned by any student, then that student learns Italian.

If Hindi is learned by any student, then that student learns Spanish.

P learns French.

5.) Which one of the following is a pair of languages that CANNOT both be learned by student R?

a. French and Italian

b. French and Spanish

c. Hindi and Italian

d. Italian and Spanish

e. Hindi and Spanish

Book says D. I say B and C are also possible. The only way those answers don't work is if R no longer has to learn the accompanying language with N still does. It DOES say pair which may mean the rules for him can be broken. If true, this is a thinly veiled modifier that I would probably have gotten wrong, possibly i just have to familiarize myself with this test more.
