I feel like (A) isn't even necessary for the OPA argument... I agree that it should be eliminated on the basis of it supporting OPA, but just to be really picky, "more than sufficient" isn't necessary. The negation of "more than sufficient" is "less than sufficient or sufficient." If the impact size is just sufficient, then this doesn't wreck their argument..

I eliminated (C) because the stim says new titles are experiencing a decline in rate of increase, whereas (C) seems to be talking about books in general.

Hey! Do you mean Q23? If yes, then...
I also choose B when I took this the other day and had a hard time seeing D. I think the main problem with B is the phrase "unusual types." The paragraph before includes notches and zigzags in its description of physical irregularities. 'Unusual' in AC B most likely means different, but nothing in the passage makes us think that systems of chaos have different types physical irregularities. AC B is saying that the two are different because one has some types of physical irregularities (like notches and zigzags, etc,) and the other system has different types (like divets or turns or something, idk). So AC B is saying the physical irregularities that comprise each system are different from each other. But ultimately, we can't make that inference given anything in the passage.
The passage does give us info that the systems are different in the extent to which the physical irregularities are unpredictable, hence (D): in S and O's system, the paths and the end result are always unpredictable; in systems of chaos, the paths can be unpredictable but the end result is always predictable. That's a difference the extent of unpredictability, aka degree.
Hope this helps!

This stim to me is an example of a switch in terms. The economists use “financial reward” while the author uses “salary.” But there are plenty of other financial benefits that come with choosing a job that do not fall under the category of salary. With (B), the key here is the word “identical.” These surveys are saying that when people are choosing between two jobs, for example, and one of which has a salary of 100k with XYZ financial benefits, and the other has a salary 70k with the same XYZ financial benefits, people choose the former. In this scenario, salary was a deciding factor, but that does not mean that it’s always the most important factor. In deciding between the two, salary was the only difference, all of the other variables were the same, so there’s no way of knowing if it was the most important factor.
Now in a different scenario, if the job with 100k only offered financial benefits X and Y, and the job offering 70k offered all of X, Y, and Z, and most people picked the latter, then we could say salary is not the most important factor. Going one step further and matching what (C) says: both jobs offer 100k, one with financial benefits X and the other with financial benefits X Y Z. (C) is just reminding us that financial factors other than salary exist.

I initially read the stim as making a causation/correlation flaw (because other things besides salt can influence BP), so (B) was really appealing. But in BR, I figured the word “associated” isn’t strong enough for (B) to be right. Picking (B) means assuming that other things besides salt are causing higher BP. But association is just correlations, so (B) commits the same flaw that I thought the stim was making.

For 5 (A), does the directionality matter? As in, during BR, I interpreted this as saying that the words in the transliterated term of 'dang-tang' has been incorporated into another language, but in this context that would mean from Chinese to American English. I realized this during BR, but am I overanalyzing? #help

I didn't like (A) because it only talks about bacteria colonies that don't use phenazines and so requires the assumption that bacteria colonies that do use phenazines don't form wrinkles... But I guess this is an OK assumption to make given all of the other ACs don't actually do anything to strengthen?

Unfortunately they were in 2 different sections as i remember clearly. When did you take the test? I took it yesterday. Guess we had the same 2 sections.

@ said:
There were two LRs and the 1st LR with 26 questions had a question about London California dialect language question. This section was the hardest LR section ever period… Did anyone else experience this set?
I guess the 26 one was experimental because I had 2 LRs with 25 questions... Also, I don't remember having seen a London California dialect one. Does your another LR contain a question with a stimulus about 2 university receiving governmental subsidies (accounting for 1/2 and 1/4 respectively of their total subsidies)?
Looks like we had the same exam or at least a very similar one, I had the same LRs (2 25 questions), and the same RC (law, paranormal, beebop, chemicals). I thought the second LR was easier but the questions were weirder

I hope my reasoning is correct, but... for Question 2, what makes AC (D) correct to me is the "could" in the conditional. It's not that if the ideal industrial practices are achieved, then all nations WILL enjoy a high standard of living, but rather that doing so would give all nations a chance of having a high standard of living.

I had LR-LG-RC-LR yesterday. As long as I can remember, I had one reading material about 2 chemicals with similar names, and the comparative reading's keyword was "paranormal". Hope this helps.
And for LR, has anyone who had only one LR remember anything about it? Or has anyone who had only one LR who remember a stimulus with 2 university receiving governmental subsidies (accounting for 1/2 and 1/4 respectively of their total subsidies)?
Thanks a lot!
I also had that order, and I remember that question. Could go either way for me for which one was real. One was definitely harder for me, but the easier one just felt...weirder.. Guess we'll see!

My trouble with this question came from thinking that the high levels of homeownership and unemployment did necessary overlap. I wasn't sure if the stim was only talking about individuals, saying if someone owns a home, then that person is likely to be unemployed. I just thought that in these regions, a high rate of the population being homeowners was found with high rates of the population being unemployed. But because "high levels" is pretty ambiguous, that could mean 45% and 45% respectively, and those don't necessarily overlap.
Did anyone else have this issue, or did I just completely read it wrong? #help

I think 7(A) actually strengthens the argument if we make an extra assumption. It’s not totally out of scope. If only a few autobiographies dealing with cultural identity and complexities are being congratulated for using chronological prose, then maybe we can infer that the rest of these types of works are not being recognized, i.e., chronological autobiographies discussing cultural identity are no longer seen as effective or something. Then we could infer that the more respected structure is the one that the Latina authors have made popular, thereby strengthening the author’s argument that they revolutionized this style.
Not relevant to the actual question stem and the right AC, but fleshing this out helped me see maybe why the LSAT writers wrote (A) in this way.

Q19. Did anyone else get caught up by the word "successfully?" I understand that the author of Passage A thinks that the type of analysis done by Passage B could be successful, but we don't actually know the author of Passage A's opinion of Passage B... I see why the other ACs are wrong (I got tricked by "of" in (C) during timed take, read it as "on"), but I still take issue with "successfully" ...am I just overthinking this? :')
