@elizabethofeves why ty. I'll be sure to tell him :)

@elizabethofeves NO CAUSE GENUINELY

This passage is a nightmare crine

great analysis!

I'd also say if you get stuck between choices like A and E in the future, you can easily eliminate ACs like E quicker by asking two questions:

1. "Does the author actually make this mistake?"

   Not really. It's sort of implied... you have to assume they thought that way, which already makes it an unnotable flaw and a weak answer choice.

2. "Does this error weaken the main conclusion?"

   Not at all. It's an inferable mistake they made, but it’s definitely not the main logical gap holding their conclusion together.

   Just offering some casual advice since I know pacing stress is real!

   Being able to quickly filter out the wrong choices when down to two has completely transformed my score. :)

   Best of luck on your LSAT journey! Hope this was somewhat helpful.

Wow, the sheer arrogance of LSAC is wild. We spend hundreds of dollars on this test, and instead of giving us a functional platform, they just keep making the interface harder to navigate for no reason. Like, let’s not fix what isn't broken?

They are testing us for our logical skills, memory, and endurance... not our ability to play a strange game of Eye Spy. Maybe I'm too woke, but I have to point this out: they're making it much harder for testers with disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, visual impairments, et cetera.

Seriously, thank you for writing this out and calling them out so thoroughly. Do you have any advice going forward for how you're prepping around this mess? I have my test on Friday 🥀

@christophergiordano I mean this in a kind and helpful way... I think you may have negated A incorrectly.

When negated as: Using the phases of the moon does not lead to amateur gardeners planting later in the spring than those planting at the first warm spell.

This would mean that following moon phases could lead them to planting at the first warm spell or even before it. Basically, they would be planting at the same time or even earlier, meaning moon-phase gardeners would face the exact same frost risks (or worse) and wouldn't actually be less likely to lose their plants.

To your point about them planting so early that the plants grow big enough to survive: I see where you're coming from, but that requires making a pretty huge assumption outside the text, which we definitely want to avoid on the LSAT!

Since the stimulus doesn't give us any information about plants maturing early in freezing weather, we have to stick strictly to the text.

In real life, planting even earlier usually just means exposing vulnerable seeds to dead winter, causing them to freeze (unless they are a perennial... which wouldnt be harmed by late frost) On the LSAT, inventing that extra backstory can accidentally trap us!

Hopefully this helps! Best wishes :)

@KCC56 this is a great explanation. Thank you:)

These are great! Pls make more the Flaw one is perfect for parallel question types

Gosh same same... I'm struggling ngl. It's strange because I'm an English major so I'm primed for reading; yet, in a different way, if that makes sense. One thing that really bumped my score was 1. Not feeling so stressed when reading the passage, take time and breath 2. Really focus on opinions and tone... including in the answer choices!

Best of luck! We got this!

If anyone could clarify even more so why B isn't correct... that would be helpful :)

What even is this question lol... I follow the logic but ;(

@cperfetti I'm not the best at lr but I assume it's because it doesn't relate to the conc. (Suggesting people to take both). An answer to E would help us determine if the 2 drugs should be taken together, where as B is more sweeping. But again... I do think B is important. Crazy how this is classified as an easy question lol.
