Bro who talks like this

please let all lsat questions be like this

I eliminated D because the passage states fertilizer is an issue when nothing is planted there. The topsoil is being replaced to grow native flora there, why would fertilizer be an issue? It explicitly states that native plants can't "establish themselves when unplanted", not fail to live when they have been planted/establish themselves. What am I missing? It doesn't seem like the presence of fertilizer is shown to be explicitly negative for the situation laid out in the AC using information from the passage.

I really don't understand how A isn't circular logic. A was the first one I eliminated because it seems like the line you're using to justify it is just a restatement of the question.

"Why do they use video technology to create legal records?"

"Oh, well they do that to have legal records."

Like... yeah obviously. But why?

I'm clearly missing something but this seems to me like A is just the statement in question form.

This was my cold diagnostic score. Interested in seeing more of these!

Couldn't E be true if there are only two teams in the city? I know the stimulus never states that, but are we just assuming there aren't?

@joannaw something that is sufficient is enough to prove the necessary condition. A common example is cat -> mammal. If you are a cat, it is 100% guaranteed you are a mammal. Cat is sufficient to being a mammal.

Being a mammal, on the other hand, is NOT proof that you are a cat. If you are a mammal, that cannot be used to prove you are also a cat. Mammal -/> cat. This is because being a mammal is the necessary condition, or otherwise stated as being the superset.

For this question specifically, Majority of Citizens Favor the Proposal -> Airport is Built. However, the conclusion the stimulus reaches is that /Majority of Citizens Favor the Proposal -> /Airport is Built. If you contropose this, this is identical to saying Airport is built -> Majority of Citizens Favor the Proposal, AKA the exact opposite of the premise

Surprised at how high the correct AC % was. This was the hardest one for me so far

"We're leaving behind the world of assumptions" best news I've ever heard

NA questions are just not for me..

Yeah.. I don't feel like this is a great question. I feel like there are too many things you could pick on E for.

I latched on to the "significant numbers" part. What does that even mean? How could that possibly be necessary with the information we are given? Am I thinking about this the wrong way?

I think I'm just gonna take the L on this one. Genuinely have no clue how to decipher C. This is the most confusing grammar I've ever seen on a test question

oh wow so this is gonna be one of those sections huh..

the fact that the stimulus is one sentence is crazy

as someone who MBT is their worst section, crap

@Kai Mevorach The crucial distinction is in D, the mother believes the psychological harm will be felt by her child, so she lies to spare them. In E, Jamal lies to save HIMSELF from harm by going to the party. The stimulus only details lying being morally correct if you intend to save others from those types of harm, not yourself

@MattBav no, if anything it strengthens it because it gives a very strong reason to take a chance to save the product.

A says that the company has invested a lot in this product, so if it fails, it would be very harmful to the company. That is a reason to take the chance on the marketing campaign to save the product. If they don't, the company will be harmed

If every lsat question was like this, I would get a 180 lol

@AutumnDixon even without knowing the context, its MSS, not MBT. C is clearly the one that is the most strongly supported. It is not unreasonable that an actor wouldn't have a copy

@KristoferMuhr newspaper journalists..

Confused on the explanation for B being wrong. I picked A, but thought B could possibly be the correct answer because Tate would disagree, and Wong would agree. Wong thinks democracy makes every country better off, so would she not also think that's the most important part to a country? Maybe I'm missing something

ALMOST picked E as my final answer, then had that aha moment when I recognized the word 'most' and connected it to the previous lessons about 'many' = 'some'.

Very interesting question how the correct answer is intentionally less satisfying than an incorrect one

@Courtney Pierce same

5/5!

#3 was very tricky though lol
