Can “X characterizes Y” be translated into Y→X?

Doing well untimed is a good place to start. Train your intuitions and internalize the lsat reasonings, so you can do well on timed condition too.

Taking a complete break from lsat is a good idea. Also, when you are analyzing your mistakes after taking a Preptest, use 7Sage and other resources as your last resort. Try to figure out the answers yourself first.

Stay strong and good luck.

I second MIT_2017’s advice. Do a few untimed sections, get a sense of the type of questions that are “within your league”. Once your secure these questions, you should be able to get down to (= -5 per section. Now that you have so little prep time left, just ignore hard questions and focus on questions you could have got right and cookie cutter questions. Meditate on your mistakes until you’re certain that you won’t get them wrong next time. Redo previously done sections to see if you have really “absorbed” what each section has to teach you. Really try to understand your thinking processes, reinforce ones that help you and modify ones that fail you.(/p)

For those who also had this order: LR,LG,LR,LR,RC, do you think each LR section might be arranged differently than another person who also had the same order? For example, the 1st LR on your test is the one before RC on another person's test. Reason I am asking is my fourth LR was extremely difficult and some said it was their first, so really hoping it is the same LR we are both talking about.🤞🏻

All I could recall is that my last LR (the one before RC) has 25 questions.

I find this explanation problematic. The diagram drawn is inaccurate, making the reason for eliminating E wrong.

According to the 1st sentence in the stimulus, failing to sterilize or seal food doesn’t guarantee the presence of DCB but merely “CAN” contain DCB, so we cannot properly use a conditional (not Sterilize or not Seal → DCB) to represent this relationship. Hence no conclusion can be properly drawn from “if a food contains no bacteria”.

Btw, this would be a biconditonal if the first sentence says that “not Sterilize or not Seal → DCB”.
