sockeye salmon lol wtf

Like he said, unless you are a Sabbath observer and can get your rabbi to confirm this, the only real way to take the LSAT on a non-Saturday would be by taking it in June.

If you are graduating next Spring, and are confident in your chances at getting into law school, I think you need to take a hard look at your priorities. I get 'being there for the team' and 'not letting your teammates down', so you just need to figure out which is more important.

hey, did you ever take PTs around people? A public library (or your school's library) is usually ideal. There are sounds of pen on paper, and rustling of papers, that you would likely hear on test day.

Now construction noise is obviously a huge distraction, and I don't blame you for cancelling. That's not your fault, but driving by the testing center before test day, you might have noticed this.

But you have a good mindset about this. Use the time to get better on timing, and put yourself in test-like environments. Good luck amigo!

No problem. Good luck.

Not a tutor, but I can see how this one could be tricky.

The first part is confusing, and I think this is what tripped you up. You are given seemingly two different groups, but they can actually be linked together as one unit.

The planning committee members also happen to be representing the construction industry so you can think of PC members and people in construction industry as a single unit. So I'll just refer to the PC members/ construction industry unit as PC members from here on out.

So, the first part says this: some of the PC members have financial interests in the decisions of the committee. Using the 'some' arrow, we can represent that statement like this:

PCM (---S---) FI (financial interests)

Thus, if some PC members have FI, we know that some people with FI are PC members.

The wording on the first answer choice is especially tricky, and I think they put it first for a reason to freak people out.

It's basically saying that everyone with Financial Interests is a PC member (it uses construction industry, but remember, PC member and those in the construction industry are essentially one and the same). This definitely could be true, because some could include all, but it's not correct in a 'must be true' question. 'Some' only implies 1 or more, and does not absolutely mean 'all'.

I'm gonna jump to the correct answer (E) now.

So in the second part of the passage, we are told that PC members do not live in the suburbs.

Like we talked about above, since some PC members have financial interests, it can be inferred that some with financial interests are PC members.

Thus, if some with FI are PCM and no PCM live in the suburbs, then it must be true that some with FI don't live in the suburbs.

Hope that helped.

sults99, a 20 point swing is not impossible, it sounds like you need to start from the basics. I'd enroll in a prep course or get a tutor if I was you.
