I answered C for this question and cannot understand why C is wrong. It seems to me like it parallels the method of reasoning and the wording very closely. Can anyone help?
Also, it would be great to only have questions with access to a correction when drilling, it's very frustrating to not know why we got certain questiosn wrong...
A: I had not thought about the fact that choosing the wrong abstract could actually UNDERMINE the politicans' goal.
C: I didn't see that this answer choice did not answer the question. If people do not judge based off of politicans' actual attitude, then what? They could adopt this technique or not adopt it, it wouldn't make a difference, so this does not undermine the argument
I'm in Berkeley and probably planning on taking October but I'd be interested!

I changed my answer from E to C in BR because I thought that E was too absolute for a necessary assumption "fundamental change". My reasoning was: stimulus talks about no change at all but AC addresses fundamental change, this is not required. Can somebody explain? Any advice on not making this kind of mistake in the future?
Hi everyone,
I am having difficulties finding an approach for detail-heavy passages, i.e. that don't have much of an argument to them but instead a lot of facts and details (For example Passage #1 - Burning Forests of LSAT 38/114 Section III). Since I usually focus on finding the argument and author's tone in each passage, I often lose of a lot of time going back to the details to answer the questions for this kind of passage.
Does anyone have any tips or strategy?
Thank you!
Hi!
I just took this question and answered E first but then changed to D during blind review because it seemed to me that "colonized" was too much of an inference in this answer. Now that I have seen the correction, I still have troubles understanding why D is incorrect. Is E a better answer because it is a better conclusion to the stimulus? How can I approach these tough MSS questions better? #help
Thank you

#HELP I don't understand why E is wrong in question 14. I do get with C is correct (norms being in place is different from norms being enforced) but I am having troubles understanding when the impact on creative outcome is discussed in passage B
For Q16 I chose A during PT and then changed to E during BR although I didn't like the "in any way" which seemed to extreme. I doubted myself in BR because I thought that we could compare an athlete's performance with their performance as a child (before intensive training) as was mentioned in the paragraph but I think this inference is simply going too far.
Hi everyone,
I just took LSAT 57 - Section 3 - Question 23 about "brushless car wash" and I really don't understand how C can be correct. To me all of the answer choices were wrong and C seemed to me like a big inference (i.e. both brush and brushless car wash could leave a visible scratches on new and old cars, but "brushless" could leave less).
Any tips on how to answer this type of questions?#help

I am currently studying in China for a year and planning to take the LSAT in April. I cannot find much information about this on the website but I was wondering if the test is being administered at test centers in Beijing. If not, how is the platform accessible remotely given the restrictions on google and similar websites? Has any of you taken it in China?
Any advice would be helpful!
Hi all,
I have started studying for the LSAT in June (on and off during the summer) with a diagnostic in the low 150s. As I have had a busy schedule, I am still doing to core curriculum (LG at the moment) and doing every single drill. I will have more time to dedicate to LSAT from now on. I am aiming at 175+ ideally but haven't been doing that many PTs, just serious drills. I wonder if I should grind and take the April LSAT (and do it again in June if needed) or only the June LSAT (I am abroad so no other options).
Any advice?
Explanation:
Stimulus: The more A, the more B. C has more A than D. Therefore, C has more B than D.
A: One gets more A as one gets more B. C has more B than D. Therefore C has more A than D. Flawed: we don't know where they both started. It's an evolution instead of a comparison
B: The more A, the more B. C has more A than D. Therefore, C has more B than D. Perfecly parallel
I originally answered E and then changed to A in BR. JY's explanation didn't really help me understand why E was correct and A wrong, but after having thought about it more, here is my reasoning:
- A makes the assumption that households are going to buy cars together and therefore divide the price among themselves. That is not necessarily correct, because more wages per household can mean more cars per household, which does not decrease the share of income spent on buying cars.
- What really threw me off in the stimulus was "individuals WHO buy new cars". So we are talking about these individuals who indeed buy new cars (at a more expensive price I assumed). But actually, E is fighting the assumption that the market price for new cars is the same for all. Individuals might be paying substantially less for cars than do businesses and groups, hence why it matters the proportion of buyers that they represent.
Super interested!
