Does the LSAT average the correct answers from whatever section is repeated??? Or does it just grade the one that is scored?

If there are two LR sections; and you miss -2 on the Experimental one and you miss -10 on the scored one (example) does it avergae this or just take your -10???????

I didn't like answer choice A bc it says that patrons tend not to support artists whose art goes against their social and political views... but in the stimulus it says patrons will support art that are in accordance with the social order WHATEVER IT HAPPENS TO BE AT THAT TIME. Can't the patrons support the art that is in accordance with the social order but that be different from the patrons OWN views???

I get confused as to when to ignore the "therefore" or any other conclusion indicator when it is placed at the end of the stimulus... How do I know when it is actually indicating a conclusion or when it is a cub conclusion/ major premise?

I chose D initially and then changed it to B :(

For the last premise (without such marketing we will be unable to increase our enrollment) I know without is group three, negate sufficient, but I thought the "unable' served as a not as in "without such marketing, we will not be able to increase enrollment" not = group four negate necessary. So i thought it would be: /aggresive marketing/ (negated) → increase enrollment

I was between B and C... they both seemed equally correct to me, I chose the wrong one

I chose D because I immediately thought that it was an argument by analogy and that the analogy was not relevant and that it was flawed bc of the analogy... however when I read it I did first thik the right answer was A but I thought that it had to be the analogy answer

I initally chose answer choice C but then I changed it to E... my thought process was that the fact that by the one year mark, 38% did not smoke didn't really provide any support. 38% did not smoke in comparison to what? what percentage of the first group didn't smoke by year one? 38% is "good" or "bad" relative to what?? And then I thought C could have provided support on the basis that those that stopped smoking, did not gain weight even when they had stopped exercising, which made me think it would divert them from smoking again. IDK

I chose B bc i skipped over the violate and chose an answer choice that conforms to the principle...

I chose D because the argument says that "since the degree to which a painting is planimetric is irrelevant to the painter's mastery" then how can the author conclude that 15th century painters DID NOT have a greater mastery of painting? Isn't that contradictory?

If the art historians cannot conclude that 15th century painters have a higher mastery of painting as opposed to 16th century painter BC THE PREMISE THEY GIVE IN SUPPORT OF THAT CONCLUSION IS IRRELEVANT, then why are we able to conclude that they did not have a greater mastery? Isnt it the same thing?
