23) Wrong AC: D-- erroneous assumption that white schools didn't change substantially, very little support.

Right AC: B: there's direct support because if the black schools are approaching white schools in school term length, it means it's shorter.

Wrong AC: B-- I guess I assumed this because the second one said "factor" and not causal factor and it made my ears perk up. There's really no difference though.

Right AC: C-- Now this makes sense. If there's overlap between the safety equipment and the traffic laws, then it's not more than half.

Wrong AC: AC C.

I chose this answer not fully realizing how literal the LSAT writers were when they said that they "have" to use that language.

Right answer: AC A

DUH -- this makes total sense now. Generality and Preciseness are the two key factors to a sci law so gen + pre > just pre

4)

Wrong AC: E

I chose this answer because it wasn't clear to me what Posner thought about interpretation of legal analysis.

Right answer: C

Now that I've looked over the passage, this makes some sense. Posner doesn't like the idea of anything being analogized to becoming a legal analysis and answering a key legal question is the opposite of that- it's more direct.

16)

Wrong AC: B

This was a total duh answer, I just misunderstood the AC. I think I chose this because C turned me off with the aboriginal language, it seemed irrelevant at the moment and I was going for speed.

Right AC: C

I understand why this was right now. It basically reiterates what was said before Burke's fear is stated: the idea that any country could claim anything made in their country was theirs--which is pretty much what AC C says.

AC 26:

The only one I got wrong in this passage.

Wrong answer: A (what I wrote). Fact is I misinterpreted what this AC meant. It said "refrain from action" when I thought it meant to refrain from the specific action in question; i.e. factoring in something, but the judgment has to be passed and so you are unable to refrain from action altogether.

Correct answer: E. It makes more sense, it's more broad- cosmic justice is explicitly stated to be impossible in passage A, but in passage B it doesn't really touch upon that.

Great! ready to kick some LSAT butt and never have to think about this test ever again Baruch HaShem!
