I was wondering what have people done to improve their scores on the reading comprehension section. Ive heard the more sections you go through the more patterns one will learn. Has anything noticed some patterns in this section that seem to be reoccurring? I am still avg. -10 on this section and can't seem to improve my score. I am just not a fast enough reader and once i get to the last passage i feel like i am rushing to complete the questions. Please Help! :(
Liable
ANY injury incurred because of a city sidewalk in need of repair or maintenance, city of G is Liable.
IRM --> L
(IRM)
-----
L
Should not be liable according to principle
Liable for injuries…only if they knew about the danger beforehand and negligently failed to eliminate it.
L --> K and N
(/K or /N)
-----
/L
A. [wrong; negligent]
B. [wrong; irrelevant, shopping bag has nothing to do with city issues].
C. [correct; minutes before is not negligence].
D. [wrong; not even in need of repair, "perfectly"]
E. [wrong; irrelevant, nothing to do with city issues]
A is very tricky, but notice the words, "prescribed treatment". The main concern is technology, which B only addresses.
Can't believe i got this wrong...What is life?
A --> B --> C
A
-----
C
/LC --> /A
/RSc
(we need /RSC --> /LC, or the contrapositive)
-----
/A
LC = legal chase
A = admissible
RSc = reasonable suspicion
A. [wrong]
B. [wrong]
C. [correct; LC --> RSc, this bridges the gap]
D. [wrong]
E: [wrong; RSc --> LC]
Hi,
I was interested in knowing what people think about the LSAT Trainer as a supplementary resource for logical reasoning questions. Would it be worth the investment?
Thanks!
Scientific issues being compared to social issues.
Social issues have important political implications and that's why providing equal time make sense.
Then it's stated as the conclusion, if there's scientific issues then there shouldn't be an obligation for providing equal time.
Argument is assuming scientific issues can't have political implications. We want to expose this assumption and deny/disagree with it, meaning they can have political implications.
A. [wrong; this supports the argument because it agrees with the assumption]
B/C/E: [wrong; irrelevant]
D. [correct; this calls out the assumption and disagrees with it, scientific issues HAVE political implications]
Hi, during the core curriculum, is it advised to time yourself on the practice sets given (i.e., the 5 questions per set in the LR section)? Or is it better to not time and focus on strategy and comprehension?
Thanks
Speaking from experience, there's literally no point in doing PT's if you're only halfway through the CC, you don't have a strong understanding of the key concepts that are tested on the LSAT.
I was wondering what the most effective method would be to foolproof logic games 1 - 35. For those of you who have done all the games from 1 - 35, would you recommend doing them in order or by game type? Ex., should i do 4 games from PT 1 each day in that order until i reach PT 35, or should they be done differently?
Also, if i wanted to foolproof games 36 - 60 instead of games 1 - 35, would that be just as effective?
Thanks again for any feedback, i appreciate it. :)
I didn't like D since it stated "many times deeper", i didn't think that meant more areas.
so for B to be correct, we would have to know who the opponents were?
I didn't choose D because i thought it attacks the premise...can someone please clarify?

A. [wrong; it doesn't matter if the difference between original and synthetic can be determined].
B. [wrong; this seems to weaken the argument because if the synthetic ivory can replace the demand for the original ivory then the synthetic ivory will prevent the killing of elephants, which is contrary to what the conclusion is saying].
C. [wrong; other substitutes not worthy is irrelevant].
D. [correct; ornamental carvings are basically valuable since they come from a dead elephant, and they represent the largest portion of the demand, so synthetic ivory won't help to curb the killing of elephants].
E: [wrong; this just tells us that the synthetic ivory is cheap to make].
This questions proves LSAT writers are pieces of shits and how much harder the test has become from the earlier days, smh!
For #8, the question states the 1943 edition, so how were we supposed to know in his later years the revisions were representative of this date? #help
_Phenomenon: Subjects given statements, read them which caused them to form new beliefs. Later told that not true, but most subjects preserved newly acquired beliefs.
Hypothesis: This strongly suggests that humans…
Goal: find an alternative competing hypothesis _
A. [wrong; this is basically stating that the premise is correct, but we don't care about that].
B. [wrong; if it is unrealistic then so what, this still implies the argument exists].
C. [wrong; so what].
D. [correct; this is stating that the new beliefs the subjects acquired, the subjects confirmed this somehow, for example someone else told them or they saw it for themselves. So this lets the premises be true but you no longer want to believe the conclusion because an alternative hypothesis has been presented, there is credible evidence because they confirmed their beliefs].
E: [wrong; who cares if initially they were skeptical, they still believed it].
Conclusion: Thus, it is likely that the people who spoke…lived in a cold climate.
A. [wrong; baiting you to assume fish implies ocean or sea, which is not true since fish could come from a river or elsewhere. They could still have lived isolated from the ocean or sea].
B. [correct; if this is true, then so what is there are words lacking such as sea, yet it can still be a prominent element of the environment, it's just that there is no word in the language].
C. [wrong; what does this have to do with the indo-european languages].
D. [wrong; another word doesn't mean anything].
E: [wrong; so what if they were?].
A. [wrong; if last year the stocks performed better, than this weakens the argument that no one should EVER follow ANY recommendations].
B. [wrong; the 2000 stocks recommended did better than stocks selected by other means].
C. [wrong; dividends vs. shares value being compared, we can't compare the two].
D. [correct; this means the results were the same as measured by different people, which means the results are solid, this doesn't weaken the argument, it does nothing].
E: [wrong; the guest that consulted the experts, their stocks performed better, so the advice was clearly good, thus this weakens the argument].
I had a question about phase 2 of the memory method.
The following was stated, "The second phase of the memory method is exactly the same as the first, with one exception: you only spend 30 seconds on step two (Check Your Memory). Do this 6-8 times".
Is phase 2 done with the same passage or different ones? Also, i'm assuming phase 2 happens when we become comfortable with phase 1? Can someone provide more insight on this?
Thank you :)
T: the linkage between oceans and human eccentricity is due to the practice of using ships as asylums
S: oceans have ALWAYS been viewed eccentricity (invariably associated mysterious + unpredictable)
Thus, they disagree over when/time
I thought D was right because the manager states that copper must be reheated after it's cooled, and it cost more to run, so this could mean the process isn't fuel-efficient but i guess that's an assumption i was making to link the two. Oh well. B does make more sense now.
C is so tricky and subtle in regards to why it's wrong.
I thought "at least one" meant some, so i did JsomeB = some joist are brocken. Although i did the diagram wrong, i still choose A.
Good teachers, texts, and facilities don't matter if no student attendance.
BCD don't matter if no A.
A. [wrong; honesty and good knowledge don't matter if you alienate the customer].
B. [wrong; ones way and comfortable shelter don't matter if no food gathering]
C. [wrong; high tech lab and analysis don't matter if no physical evidence gathered]
D. [wrong; knowledge and facilities don't matter if no collection of books].
E. [correct; there is no bigger picture or idea].
@ My BR is avg -5. What is your strategy and what's worked for you?
