The stimulus argues that there is a causal relationship between children watching less TV and doing better in math. The only support it provides for that notion is data showing that fewer US kids (who watch a lot of TV) understand advanced measurement and geometry compared to their South Korean counterparts (who generally watch far less TV). However, to conclude from this support that watching less TV is necessary for American kids to get better at math, the stimulus must assume that those children have access to comparable instruction as in South Korea. If (E) were false and the quality of classes in geometry and advanced measurement is worse in the US than in South Korea, the causal relationship drawn in the argument would fall apart. Even if American kids watched less TV, they might not get better at math because their classes or teachers are terrible.

Would it be valid to say that AA ←s→ CI?

@ I think that you can use it during the timed sections if you get permission from the proctor. That being said, I wouldn’t do that as the clock won’t stop while you go to the bathroom during a timed section.

Yes, as long as you do not access any electronic devices or discuss the test with anyone in your testing area, you can definitely use the bathroom.

I decided to think about a few of my own similar arguments as J.Y. suggested. Here is one of them:

"A flight is late only if it lands at its destination two hours after its scheduled arrival time. Therefore, Crystal Airlines Flight 16 was not late today, since it arrived at the airport one hour behind schedule."

Argument Translation:

1) flight late → two hours behind schedule

2) one hour behind schedule

3) one hour behind schedule → /two hours behind schedule (Sufficient Assumption)

C) /flight late

I took the June exam, and we got an email with a link to select a time on Proctor U about one week before the test.

On reflection, (D) has little relevance unless you make an illicit assumption that differences in iron absorption in foods somehow impact iron intake. Regardless of how much iron the body absorbs from the food, you are still eating iron rich foods, so (D) merely reaffirms what we already know without strengthening the argument.

Hello is the recording of the webinar available? Not sure whether I might’ve missed an announcement in the final days of preparing for the August exam.

Hi md753, I would go to the LG sections of the Core Curriculum. J.Y. does an excellent job explaining the types of game board set-ups and inferences you will need to make on the games. It was after doing that section, and lots of practice drills and fool-proofing, that I became more confident with LG.

Hi Jonathan, please send me the information to join your office hours. I would appreciate it.

This just goes to show you how there can be a necessity/sufficiency flaw in an argument, but the right answer will not always be phrased directly that way. When I first did this question, I sensed that there was a necessity/sufficiency issue, but I did not establish that the presence of beehives was what was being confused before heading into the answer choices. So I fell for (B) which denotes the right flaw, but on the wrong subject (pollination).

I am taking the test tomorrow. I took my last PT on the Friday before the exam, and have spent the past week doing practice sections, reviewing my wrong answer journal, finalizing my procedure for how to handle certain question types, as well as reviewing critical concepts like conditional logical indicators.

I definitely plan to be there!

I chose (E) when I did this question, and while I understand why it is wrong in this case, I am wondering whether that answer might be more defensible if the trainer had concluded something like: "If you want to prevent (rather than merely protect) your dog from getting arthritis, do not neuter it until it is full-grown"?

Hi, I am interested! Am retaking the August LSAT after scoring in the low-160s in June.

I wouldn't waste your time trying to figure that out. Just do every section as if it were being scored.

Your LSAT writing can be done after your test, but I wouldn't wait too long if you want to receive your score back on time. When I took the June exam, I decided to take the Writing section the Wednesday before my test. It does not take too long to complete, as long as you are well rested and reviewed some practice writing prompts on 7Sage or LawHub.
