I'm not sure...I had the same reasoning as you did for the question...

But perhaps "respondents" is still something we should look out for on future LSAT questions. Perhaps we could think of it this way....Suppose a college sends out a paper (old school hehe) survey to its recent alumni which asks them about their income....and then, based on the RESPONDENTS' answers, concludes that the average income of their recent alumni is...say...100,000$. But do you see how this could be misleading? Perhaps it is a bit of selection bias. In other words, perhaps the alumni who were making more money were the most likely to respond to such a survey, and those who were unemployed were the least likely to respond to such a survey...

So basing something on the respondents' answers could be a big no-no...

Of course price is not an indication of value! 7sage is valuable...and it's relatively cheap! AND I got away with it..

Thank you guys for all the feedback!

Here is one thing which I do that really helped with my comprehension, in addition to figuring out the scope and main point of the passage: connecting the pieces of evidence within each paragraph to the small point it supports and quickly trying to figure out why they're relevant to that point(s). A lot of questions require you to understand what the main point of each paragraph was. For example, a question will ask about a piece of evidence which was used in a paragraph to support a small point made in that paragraph, and will ask you questions about that piece of evidence, such as why it is there, what is it's purpose...basically answering the question correctly requires you to see how that evidence or examples is relevant to the point being made.

Hey, thank you guys!! I am trying really hard to increase my reading speed, so I will try more of the memory method and the underline method. I really need to decrease my time....without sacrificing accuracy....

Wow...apparently I am not the only one who has broken down emotionally after the test...you can do it! I have improved since my last break down!

Maybe any tips?

:) Got milk?

Hey K-Magnet! Congratulations!

Hey K-Magnet, nice explanation above! But I guess I wasn't clear by what I meant, because I was writing it for myself lol, so it's ok if you misunderstood me. When I talk about the way the "conclusion and premise looks is secondary to our task," I'm talking about superficial things, and not important things(like conditional reasoning, which you mentioned above!) which are important to match

I am the same way...I also have a hard time picking E....always feel like the LSAT is trying to pull one over me...

In fact, I got a -2 on my RC in my diagnostic test....damn these newer RC's!!

@tsamvelyan580 But is that average with the newer RC or the older ones? Cause I used to get minus 1 or minus 0 on the older ones too...Now my average is looking more like -6 on the more recent ones...and that's with Mike Kim's book's help...

Hey @ marleybaby! I googled it but came up with so much stuff! Can you post a specific link?

Hey everyone! I cancelled my score the day of the test by filling in those two ovals and signing my name...that is all I have to do, right?

Hey Aislingz! This strategy doesn't always work...sometimes the last two games are about equal in terms of difficulty...but if you just quickly scan the rules and the passage, and it looks a little unfamiliar, that is one clue...or if the very last game has a lot of questions, then you should definitely do that one first! If you give yourself a maximum of ten minutes to work on it, you learn to find efficient ways to make important inferences upfront and spend your time wisely

But of course if you already do this then you can ignore my comment :)

Hey jordan, here's a tip which really helped me(and games are not my strong point): I always do the hardest games first, and I give myself a maximum of ten minutes to finish them. This forces me to work more efficiently on the easier games(because of time pressure) and it also helps me with pacing too...Especially if you see an unfamiliar game towards the end of the section, do that one first, and like I said, give yourself a maximum of ten minutes on it. You can always come back to it if you work efficiently on other parts of the test

Wish you guys health before your tests!!

Hey guys thank you so much!! I still took it but felt so nauseated that I couldn't concentrate...so yeah, cancelled after managing to finish the test(don't know how I did that!!) and will have to retake in December

@firouziaidin443 poster...With your scores, yeah and then some!

Hello! I have another question regarding causation arguments! So is it an assumption to think that, just because a causation relationship has been established between A and B, that in every instance in which A occurs, B will automatically result? We cannot assume that just because a cause happens, an effect happens, correct? It's not like a conditional relationship...

Like say for example, say that a doctor tells you that eating lots of chocolate causes disease X.....but that doesn't mean that if you eat lots of chocolate you will get disease X, correct?

@cjones183 Thank you for posting something in an effort to try to help us!! I am pretty sure you were not trolling......
