Found the addition of "perceive" in the author's premise to be pretty sneaky. First brush, I didn't realize how the premise was adding anything new to the researcher's claims aside from an example.

Under timed pressure I chained the some conditional to the right of "reasonable beliefs". A lesson in making sure your chain makes sense before looking at answer choices

@emilycarrazana801 Thanks so much for taking the time to write that all out!

I guess I should've been more clear in my question as I am coming back from my break with a great deal of studying already under my belt. I've fool proofed all games 1-35, went through the CC twice, and have taken a good amount of practice exams with blind review. My question was more so if and how studying should change given the new digital format.

Long break .. tips for new LSAT format?

Hello All!

I've been a 7sager for nearly 2 years now. I planned to sit for Nov 2018 but due to some unforeseeable life occurrences, have had to adjust my timeline. Since I have been at this for so long, I decided that I needed a well deserved break from all things LSAT but now I am back and feeling refreshed and ready! Only thing is, I'm questioning how I should be adjusting my studying approach to fit the new digital format so I am asking you all to suggest all of your best tips/tricks/forum threads to help me get back in the groove and prep for the digital format!

@jhaldy10325 The LSAC site states that "If you fail to cancel your registration, your LSAC file will note "absent." (This is not a score of zero, nor will it be factored into any reportable scores on file.)"

Would you happen to know if this means that schools will/won't see it, since it won't "be factored in" on any reportable score file?

HELP - didn't meet withdrawal deadline

What happens now? What shows on my record ? I was in a car accident 2 days ago and although I've known for some time that I was going to withdraw from November, I stupidly waited and then forgot due to obvious circumstances. Now I'm freaking out.

I prephrased correctly "professionals can still act unprofessional" and on an intellectual level, had the reasoning of B in my mind, but just couldn't understand what the AC was saying and went with C just because I felt it eluded to the difference between professional and not professional levels.

Sigh. A lesson in the importance of getting familiar with how flaws are presented in ACs

@emilycarrazana801 Sorry I should've mentioned my studying history. I have been studying for over a year. Spent a lot of time upfront with fundamentals. Have gone through the CC twice, and already foolproofed LG 1-35 (which I still continue to revisit). Diagnostic was a 149, my avg. PT score is mid 160's, aiming for a 170. My weakest area is RC, which I know is the hardest to improve on. But you are absolutely right, I am going to dedicate the majority of my time to really focusing on my weaknesses. This exam is 100% learnable.

Pushing test back but burned through exams

So, I broke the cardinal rule. I burned through a decent amount of recent PTs (70-77) because I thought I was going to take the November test. Instead, I'm waiting another cycle due to a new job opportunity (which I think will give me an edge admissions wise), my genuine feeling that I can still improve, and my desire to be an early applicant (aiming for June LSAT to apply for fall 2020).

I still have some PTs from 50-60s untouched along with 78 and up. Would it be a bad idea to alternate my weekly PTs from older to newer? Or just jump around in general ? How signifigant are the differences between the way exams are formulated among these groups ? Will I be hurting/confusing myself? Either way, I feel like this may be my only option. As I like the momentum of taking a PT every week and strcuturing the rest of my study week around BR and question type drills.

Could the negation be either KLE and FP, or KLE some FP ?

@jasminejudge480 not on the topic of addendums, but how did you make that jump ? Any discussion threads you can direct me to where you talk about your method perhaps

I was probably being too critical when analyzing the stim but I felt like there was a gap … how do we know that the people suffering from vertigo, are even taking the drug ?

I got this question correct but with a different prephrased assumption … this argument assumes that those injured, are "residents" of Country X and as a result of surviving, would contribute to the economy of Country X somehow.

For instance, I could be visiting a foreign country that has this protocol in place. Get injured, and transported to a trauma center. I hopefully would then survive and make my way back to my country of origin, and continue to live my life, not contributing to the foreign country I visited.

This may be a stupid question... but how do we know for certain that Group A is 60%, B 70%, and C 85% ? I left the assignment of intensity percentages up in the air when answering the question and I think that may have allowed me to pick B with ease, but I'm not sure if this was just luck

What allowed me to eliminate E was how I internalized the last sentence of the stimulus....

Just because many children who are taught via the whole language method, learn to read alphabetic languages, we cannot assume that it is due to being taught via the whole language method, that they learn to read alphabetic languages.

For all we know, they can learn to read alphabetic languages later on in life, with something entirely different from the whole language method, being the cause.

This then further points to why D is right. In order for the possibility to stand that they can even learn to read languages later on in life, it has to be so that being taught the whole language method does not in any way prevent them from learning how sounds are represented, which would then prevent them from leaning to read languages. Hope this helps.

I got this question right but still am having difficulty with the prescriptive conclusion. I was looking for something that hindered on what SHOULD be done after having read the stim.

why does the fact that public squares and the internet are viewed as analogous, any indication that we SHOULD do anything to ensure that this analogy hold?

I got caught up on "have yet been identified", and thought that this left open the possibility that there are in fact, older fragments of the Earth's crust ... which led me to hate all of the answers and try to justify D somehow

I actually thought the study wasn't representative not because it didn't include a random set of all old people, not just insomniacs, but because it didn't contain young people … "as it ages"
