I don't think the explanation JY gives here is satisfactory for my question. JY says that B is incorrect because there could be some things that are not animals that do not have volitional thinking. Yes, this is obvious but why does this make this answer incorrect? In this MSS example (https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/a-mothers-voice-mss-question/) the stimulus talks specifically about newborns four to six weeks old whose mothers have been the primary caregivers and the correct answer is C: Babies associate the voice etc. Obviously there are babies that are not four to six weeks old whose mothers have been the primary caregivers. So how does that stimulus provide support to C, but this stimulus here that talks about a nonanimal thing (a computer) that does not have volitional thinking provides absolutely no support to B: Things that are not animals do not have volitional thinking. Both answer choices are absorbing the larger group. Can someone explain why these are different? I'm just confused on the consistency of the reasoning.

Wildly different diagnostic scores?

Hi all! So I recently took my diagnostic test (PT 75 chosen randomly, I know kinda dumb) and got a 153. During the test, I just fell like I was feeling off and my head was kind of foggy maybe? On a whim, I took PT 76 a week later with virtually no review or studying, and I got a 163. I don't know what score I should use as my diagnostic or which is more indicative of my raw abilities. Is the second test not considered my diagnostic because I had already taken a PT and was therefore loosely acquainted with the LSAT? I know that your diagnostic score isn't hugely important, but it's useful to track your progress. Any insight is appreciated!
