I am confused as to why the extent to which the arrangement of objects gives the impression that the person arranging the objects succeeded at what he/she was attempting to do impacts whether the arrangement is perceived as aesthetically pleasing and not vice versa. Based on the wording of the stimulus, couldn't whether or not an arrangement is perceived as aesthetically pleasing determine whether or not it gives the impression that the artist succeeded in what he/she was intending to do? In my opinion, the statement functions as a sort of bi-conditional (although I understand no formal logic is used here) where each side of the equation impacts the other. Can someone explain why this is not the case? I was able to eliminate B for other reasons, but do not understand why B is a reversal of logic. #help

I studied while working a demanding full time job and my biggest recommendation is to give yourself an extended study schedule. The typical three month study plan is difficult to stick to while working full time. I gave myself a full year to study for the LSAT, knowing that work would often get in the way of studying. Each Sunday, I would plan my study schedule for the following week, with at least one PT on the weekend. What worked best for me was telling myself that no matter what, I had to study at least 1 hour per day. I often studied more, but on those crazy 80 + hour work weeks, 1 hour felt like an accomplishment and a bench mark that I could stick to! I also recommend adding time blocks to your calendar to block out study time (if this is an option for you). I would block out 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. every night so that my supervisor/coworkers knew not to reach out with any work requests during that hour. This schedule helped me get from the 150s to the mid-170s.

Thank you!!!

For arguments that falsely conclude causation from correlation, can you strengthen the argument through an answer choice that demonstrates that the same cause has the same effect? For instance, if the argument says that a study indicated that most people who eat ice cream feel sick because of the dairy in the ice cream, and an answer choice said that most people who drink cows' milk feel sick, would that strengthen the argument? Conversely, could I weaken the argument by saying that most people who eat vegan ice cream still feel sick?

Would D have been an answer that strengthened if it read "a further study found that most young offenders who ate nutrient-dense meals for months because less violent"? I believe that no cause, no effect works for strengthening questions like this one. Would this wording strengthen the argument? Would it have to say "all young offenders" or does "most" work?#help

Running out of Practice Tests

Hi 7Sage Community,

I would love to get some advice on how to study once you have run out of practice tests. I have been studying for about a year and have 3 clean PTs left. I am taking the June exam, but also am planning to take the August exam (just to be safe). Does anyone have advice on when to use those clean PTs and how to utilize old PTs effectively? Thank you!

Are you sure?
