Why can't for #1 I just write:
~Drive out Poachers -> ~Pandas Prosper
Pandas Prosper -> Drive out Poachers

For question 3, could you translate it to:
Infected by Virus -> Antibodies in a week
/Antibodies in a week -> /Infected by virus
If not, why?

@Hmm Also, am I reading it right that you STARTED in June and took the LSAT August same year, and got a 163? That is a really good score for so short a runway, in my opinion.

Too funny, we've gone through a similar order of things. I started 7Sage three weeks ago or so. I took my first LSAT November 2024 after weeks of grinding test after test (with honestly zero theory/instructional component). I went from low-mid 150s to high 160s and even reached the low 170s. Come test day I get a 160. Coming back after that was near impossible. Since then I've been mustering up the energy to a) figure out what happened and b) put even more effort into the next LSAT. I figured the time to jump back in was three weeks ago. Took a diagnostic LR section before diving into the core curriculum, missed 7. But after these past three weeks of really understanding the test block-by-block and doing zero questions, I'm getting out of the hump. I got a 168 and felt pretty calm doing it. This is to say you may be going through the same kind of burnout. In which case I advise taking at least three months away from the LSAT even if this pushes your lawyer dreams back a year, and doing the core curriculum as if you've never seen an LSAT before. Just speaking as a test taker in a similar-looking boat. Good luck.

@AnnabelleNeidl But couldn't you roleplay an even more pedantic alien in the valid argument you gave? What makes the direct link between "I" being included in the group "anyone" direct, but the link between being blond (in your other example) and being in the group of those who should buy coffee indirect? What if I am not "anyone", but a rock or a blade of grass?)
What is the difference, in this case, between the author assuming that it is true that blond people should buy a coffee, and this link being too incoherent to even be considered an assumption?

I'm having trouble pinning down the distinction between something that is not an argument vs. just a weak argument.
If one claim is purported to support another, but it actually does not, would that be considered an argument? For example:
"I am 80 years old. Therefore, I am ready to buy a car."
Can we say this is an argument (if a weak one) because the author uses a word indicating support?
@David_Busis No, I mean the Status Checker option you are able to opt into when adding a school to your list of applications. You enter your LSAC username and supposedly it updates when your application is under review, even if your portal might not display that status update (this is the idea as far as I can tell, but maybe I'm wrong). In my experience it never works. All I see is "status unknown" when I try to opt in.
