I got confused trying to map means and ends. I thought potentially the means was donating and the end was either helping the poor or helping themselves. So in my head, either way, they viewed philanthropy as a means to an end — this didn't feel specific to the social control theorists. I see why it's the strongest answer now but I just didn't recognize anything special about it when taking the test.

There definitely is an assumption I failed to make or even recognize the need to make that makes C correct which is that the landlord will change the appliances as the meters are installed for tenants individually. In my head, C was addressing that whenever the landlord purchased appliances (let's say he did it a few years ago), he purchased energy efficient ones that tenants are now using. Great, who cares?

I see now that C raises the possibility that appliances can change, but it just didn't register that way when I read.

I chose E, which I see why it's not a great answer choice, I just thought it was a weak weakener but still the only viable option.

For main point question I eliminated D because I thought it was invalid conditional logic:

the passage tells us local involvement --> success

Answer choice D says that success --> local involvement

Was I just overthinking and applying too LR of a lens?????

You know it's bad when even in the explanation video JY misses the word "aerobic" before exercise when first reading out answer choice E.. LOL

I think JY's explanation for this one really misses the mark and confused me more, but Kevin's explanation is great and cleared things up. We can't be expected to pick E because it's the most reasonable to assume that dampening intellectual appeal is a reason someone would change course. We have to pick E because it is the change that happens over time. It's the only way this question makes sense. I did slightly prefer JY's explanation of choice B though.

LSAT · How are PrepTest Equivalent scores determined from section scores?

@SaniqueRowe Makes sense! Thank you for the clear response :)

Hi, out of curiosity I'm wondering how the score equivalent for full tests is determined from sections. For example, I took LR sections from PT 122 and got -1 and -0 on the sections, with PrepTest equivalent scores of 172 and 174, respectively. Wondering why, based on numbers alone, my -0 section wouldn't be a 180 equivalent, for example. Same with why the -1 section wouldn't be higher. Is it because it's an older test with relatively less difficulty than more current ones? TYIA for any insight!
