Can you take the contrapositive of a causal statement? For example, if it said that A caused B, and we don't have B, is it logically corrected to say then we don't have A? Or does causation not work like that?

Why is the answer B?

Can anyone explain why E is incorrect?

Hi I am confused on why the answer is B on PTF97 S1 Q2. I skipped it during my practice test to focus on easier ones first, but when I came back I was unsure about the answer. Also during BR I chose the wrong answer. Just need someone to explain! Thanks!

Hi,

As of August 2023, am I permitted to draw/write my game boards for LG with paper and pencil, whether remote or at a testing center ?

I am wondering if the way I study (p&p) will be the way I test .... and ... if my notes for logic games digital, would you please share your approach ?.... thanks, thanks and thanks and happy Fourth of July! Gisu

PS: I emailed LSAC support but have not gotten an answer yet and apparently I am impatient ;-)

Can someone please explain why C is correct? I don't understand why I am wrong. #help

Did anyone else pick C instead of B? I thought that the 24 policy showed that it was important to have continuity of care so that if the doctors are tired during a shift it wouldn't have good continuity. But realizing now that I made a lot of assumptions and B is better. Is B right because it says that "now" there's a new policy that makes people stay in the hospital and that means that they're there at their most ill so its more important now to have good care?

Jan - 160

June - 159

Planning on taking it again (not sure when) as both scores were below my average (168).

Should I keep or cancel the June score? Planning on keeping it since its within margin of error but don't want to regret it - will it hurt me?

Please provide explanation! how does the state of healthcare correlate to the argument being made?

Is the term "except" indicative of a biconditional or a group 3 conditional? I believe 7Sage says biconditional, but I have heard some say it is the same as 'unless' (group 3).

can someone explain why D is correct and the other ACs are incorrect? Maybe its bc its ab economic theory, but i struggled with this one and ended on D only bc the others seemed less plausible.

Hello all!!

Can someone please explain this? I thought I understood suf vs. nec, but then I got to this question. It just won't click what is happening in the argument, and the videos are not helping me as much.

Thanks!

I got this one wrong, I chose E, but now I see that we don[t know the relation between English literature and French literature, what we know is the origins of the language, trap answer for misreading.

The correct answer is A, cause its the only thing we can deduce from the stimulus.

B We don’t know

C We don;t know

D We don’t know

Correct answer B The only thing we know for sure reading the argument is that the studies encourage overestimation of the degree to wich some food additives are carcinogenic.

A We don’t know

C We don’t know

D We don’t know

E We don’t know

I'm looking for suggestions on increasing my speed in LG. Here's a little background info: I'm usually averaging 14+ during Preptests, but both during BR and during untimed practices I am nearly getting them all correct (22+). During the timed drills and Preptests, I am able to make the inferences and split the boards, but not quickly enough to get ahead and finish all 4 games -or even all 3 sometimes. How do I increase my speed and get these game boards down faster (and still accurate, ideally)? And at what point does the practicing and BR-ing click where I'm doing this quickly and efficiently?

Help!

can someone please explain to me why the correct answer is "A" and not D? I was between those two but question stumped me in general

I understand that any choice proving that the murder rate would've been higher is correct, but I'm not understanding the connection between healthcare and assault victims. How is that relevant and what does it imply?

Can anyone help me on this question? I tried looking it up, but can't find it anywhere.

The advanced technology of ski boots and bindings has

brought a dramatic drop in the incidence of injuries that

occur on the slopes of ski resorts: from 9 injuries per 1,000

This is a MSS

By reading the stimulus and knowing were looking for a MSS. I can deduce that because some of the funghi that grows on the forest floor provided by dead logs are beneficial to some of the trees, than answer choice A is correct.

B We don't know

C We don't know

D We don'tknow

E Here they talking about Dead and decaying trees, the stimulus is referirng to Dead logs, which is different

I recently took the June Lsat, I consistently scored between 160-163 on the four or five consecutive practice exams I took prior to my test. I ended up getting a 156 on the actual exam. I dont know if this drop may have been due to nerves (I had technical issues the day of my exam and was not able to start for an hour after my shceduled time and this had me very anxious and stressed). I took all PTs under real testing and time conditions. I wish there were a way to review my official LSAT and see which questions I missed etc. I am already registered for the August exam, this time at a testing center, and I'm hoping for a 160+. Any tips on what to do this time around? Im scared to not study effectively and just waste my time, I feel like I've done every LSAT question there is. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Read the passage TWICE. Yes, you heard that right. Read it twice, but before you say that's ridiculous there's no time for that just hear me out.

The first time you read the passage you slowdown your reading highlighting or underlining key words that are significant, especially emphasizing transition periods in the passage. After you finish the passage, immediately read the passage as second time. But, you aren't really going to "read" the passage. what you are going to do is skim through line by line in a rapid pace, skipping detailed wording and summing up in your head what is is that you are rapidly skimming down. This should take you no longer then 30 seconds. What I found by doing this is that it significantly improves my understanding on the passage structure, almost on a subconcious level. The time you "lose" by doing this second reading is gained back when answering the questions. You will find that the correct answers immediately jump out to you more often and you could be averaging 15 seconds a question.

Let me know your thoughts on this strategy. I know it might be necessarily "new," however I'm interested if anyone else does this?

UPDATE

I actually do this in the reverse now. I find that it helps me with structure. I will literally skim the entire passage for like a solid minute, then read the passage, then answer questions. The 4 minutes you use doing this helped me a lot.

Hi, I've recently improved quite a bit in reading comp in my past practice tests, scoring in the -0 to -4 range in timed and/or BR typically. However, sometimes I feel as though I take too long on certain passages and especially questions. At times I only have a handful of minutes when I start the last passage in a set, sometimes not being able to get through all the questions with a proper analysis and answer attempt. I usually get the hard and hardest questions right when I do invest the time but I still just always spend too much time it seems. I like investing a lot of time into understanding the passages I'm reading, breezing through questions quicker than the marked expected time according to the analytics, but taking longer than expected to read the passages.

Should I simply be more willing to lower my odds of getting some questions right in order to get a proper attempt at every passage and question in a set?

Anyone know good reading material for the Art types of RC Questions? I've been reading Economist and WaPo but want something more in line with the Art passages? Feel free to also leave good Science suggestions as well

I am taking the LSAT in August.

So far, my highest LSAT score is 157.

Should I continue to focus on the syllabus/lessons sections or focus on completing LSAT prep Tests and watching the explanation videos after?
