I chose A but I still do not understand why D is wrong. If she only took one week last year, wouldn't she have 2 weeks carrying over? How is this answer different from A?
Also I don't get the explanation for why D is wrong in the video or written explanation-- why would it be 4.5 weeks? Also even if it was 4.5 weeks, she can apply for "up to half" so she still could've used just 1 week instead of 1.5?
Hi Kevin! Thank you for your lessons! A few quick Qs for you:
- Is this more of a drill or should we be making low res summaries on the actual LSAT too?
- And about how long should we aim to spend on the summaries?
-And then how long on actually reading the passage?
Are there any questions where we can directly attack a conclusion or premise? Or are we always looking to exploit the gaps between the conclusion and premise(s)?
Is there a baseline for when we should use/ or eliminate prescriptive answer choices for certain answer types?
Same for descriptive answer choices
I got this right based on POE but I kept thinking the right answer would include something like "there has been legal precedence where hail damage was covered by the insurance policy"-- does legal precedence just not matter or if there was an answer choice that said something about it, could it have been better than B?
Question-- due to current events. For the 7sage predictor, do you think that URM will still be a thing in this year's admissions? Or should we be calculating without?
The language on this is weird but E is the opposite of what we want. it makes it less likely that the fixed-profit contract would go over what is initially predicted, since it says that they exaggerate the cost to make it look like they're taking a smaller percentage as profit.
D was not ideal but it can do some resolving-- if people are reviewing their billings but only for when the contractor's profit varies w cost and NOT for when its fixed-profit, there could be more mistakes, unnecessary wasteful expenditures, or a number of things going on that the customer isn't seeing and will not see. having reviewal by the customer creates an added pressure for the contractor's whose profit varies w cost since they could be checked / or if they are checked they can then fix the mistake (thus potentially making their end costs lower) while the fixed-profit contractors don't have the same double checking mechanism / pressure of having the customer review their costs potentially leading them to having more cost overruns
