When an answer choice says “it is a statement that the argument provides grounds to accept and from which the overall conclusion is inferred”, is this essentially the premise.
Or is the premise “it is a premise offered in support of an intermediate conclusion of the argument “?

This is a great post. I too have questions similar to @katrakkade441 I finished my degree thinking I would be done there (social science) and a year later I started becoming interested in law. I wasn’t prepared, no direction and my cumulative GPA was low. The last two years of my undergrad I had increased responsibility at home which made me take uni more seriously resulting in an all a’s In my last two years. I mentored and did homework help for refugees (still so that). I applied for this fall and did not get in and I need a new angle with my statement to be considered next fall. Any advice would be great. The advice in this thread have been wonderful
Soooo maybe I’m wrong or maybe I’m crazy but I just figured out that with disagree and agree questions, the answer appeals to the conclusion of the first speaker. Is that a hack or am I reaching
What constitutes mature student? I’m referring to Canadian and American law schools. For some reason I thought it meant applying over the age of 25
What would you say helped you the most in achieving a high LSAT score
I meant the diagnostic. More so taking the test after months of no LSAT ( three to be exact)
After a diagnostic exam, what is the next step? Blind review? Cry? Sleep? Throw your prep books away? We the people want to know

@artalayis927 That's a fair assessment. I found that a good way to approach LSAT prep is to have a predetermined schedule and stick with it. If you put in your calendar to take PTs on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings, tell your friends "no" if they want to go hard on Thursday night or have brunch Saturday morning. However, I NEVER made time for my buddies, and it honestly made prepping for the test a drag because I personally like socializing and having something to look forward to at the end of my day (dinner with a friend, or a nice sober pregame) and not having that reward made studying more cumbersome.
@sorooshianh185 I don't have ebola, lol. I promise...
Great point

This is a do an don’t. Do have great friends to keep you sane, and friends to hang out with on your free time. Don’t spend too much time with friends during prep. Sounds like mixed messages but friends can be a source of distraction and any lost time cannot be recovered. That lost time comes back as regret later on in the journey. Your friends will understand and still be there. If they aren’t, well, they aren’t your friend. Don’t cut anyone off in the name of studying and focusing though. That’s not the message

Do not take your first LSAC-administered LSAT until you are ready. You will know when you are ready.
Very important!!!!!
Drop all your LSAT study tips and techniques below. The crazy one, the strict ones, the interesting ones, all of it. For all of those who did not get into schools this time around, what are things you plan on doing differently/ any regrets
Is no news really good news with admissions???? What does it mean???
Do schools let you know if you don’t get in
What does the job of a legal assistant entail. I know it’s different than the job of a lawyer but I would like to know the main differences
Does anyone else feel incapable of relaxing post exam. Almost like studying separation anxiety lol
Can your LSAT ticket picture be in black and white. Even though it’s still clear
Since a necessary assumption is something that must be true in order for the argument to succeed, does that mean that a necessary assumption question is the same as a MBT question? We the people need answers
Can someone tell me the proper way to blind review. I seem to be doing it wrong
Ahhhh okay that makes sense. Thanks!

Doubt either version of AC (A) would be right. The difference between (A) and (D) is subtle - (A) is wrong because it has the potency to be borne out of anecdotal evidence, while (D), like the stimulus, is scientific fact.
Unless (A) would be phrased in a way which makes it a universal truth, I don't see any rephrasing of that statement that could make it a perfectly parallel argument.
I just had an epiphany. If the answer was that Henrietta is older than she was last year therefore she’s wiser than she was last year, the answer would be right. Correct?
