LOL level 2 question and got it wrong.

Honestly, did not like any of the answer choices since I predicted the flaw as not considering other sports... But it makes much more sense on how mistaking popular and more students being on track team to be different.

Hi! Thank you so much for sharing your story and congratulations on your achievement! I have been struggling to exactly pin-point where I need to improve on:( Looking forward to your next post and I hope I can gain more insights from you!

@SerinJ Hi, thank you so much for your advice! I think it is important to change my mindset and view it as an opportunity to grow rather than feeling terrible after PTs or sections. Will try to do so!

Could not understand the answer at first, and came back the next day to figure out what is going on.

If the time interval fluctuates greatly, I guess they would be alternating often between normal polarity and reversed polarity. Then, it could be possible that they are of different size which could support C...? That's the only way I can figure out why C is the right answer lol

@AriVilker1 Thank you for your advice! I was able to relate a lot since I always try to answer every question with 100% certainty and that messed up my time management. Thanks again!

@olivepikle13 Thank you so much! Is it okay if I ask you if you were able to get accommodation from LSAC? If so, how does the process look like?

@cass.chan Will try that too! Thank you!

@chlo$ Thank you! I'll check it out!

@LowriThomas Thank you so much for these advices! I truly appreciate your time for writing them now! I should practice doing them during timed sections!

@cass.chan I think that is a good strategy! I should decide on a time frame on when to check the clock and pace myself. I'll try to take deep breaths! Thank you so much!

@maydayings Thank you so much! I might consider doing that for the October one. I don't know if I did the right thing, but after my PT on Sunday (got 150 from it) I decided to withdraw from the June test:( I regret a little bit on withdrawing and feel bad about it because it's expensive...

Hi! I think I am in a similar position as you are. I took my first LSAT in April and signed up for the June one. However, I took a PT last Sunday and I did not do well at all in that. Looking at my PT score, and feeling anxious, I decided to postpone it till October. I guess taking it and cancelling could be a choice, but if you know that you are currently not scoring in the range you want, you could take it later. Although people say that law schools consider the highest score, recently I went for law school consultation and they recommend finishing it within 3 times. Hope this helped!

@LegalKJ Agree! Having something for conditional and causal relationship would be of a great help!

Hi! I am in the same position as you are. I have been scoring between 150-154. However, all the schools that I want to go to have a medium of 170+ and I don't think I would be able to reach that score in just a few days. So, I have decided to postpone my LSAT till October (which is the last LSAT for international students). People say that it is best to take the exam when you are PTing around your goal score since test environment could impact your score.

Thank you so much for these sessions! I have been viewing all the Lofi streams and it really helps to see your thought process since I can compare it with how I approach the questions.

Did not think I would get this question wrong lol

I choose B because of the part that "birds that had been killed by predators had substantially smaller spleens than birds killed accidentally". However, I recognize now that they never mention "MOST". Rather, just says that those birds killed had substantially smaller spleens.

When we look at D, it seems to be supported because sickly birds have smaller spleens and thus, seems likely to be killed by the predators.

Also, through process of elimination, we can arrive at answer choice D:

A: Not supported at all

B: We don't know about MOST birds

C: Not supported at all

E: MAIN CAUSE? Not stated hence, cannot speculate about it

Ability to judge -> yrs of ST

Lit. prof. -> yrs of ST

Reading public -M-> NO yrs of ST (implies that NO yrs of ST -> NO ability to judge AND NO lit. prof.)

Hence, answer E

Could I also give it a try? Thanks!

TI -> SEG

Ban -> TI

--- --- ---

SEG -> Ban

Confuses SEG to be a sufficient condition when it is a necessary confusion of TI

Hence answer D

P1: IF -> SI

P2: GL possible -> SI

C: IF -> Rule of law

P2 does seem to confuse the whole argument, nonetheless, when I look at the answer choices, nothing really connects P2 and the conclusion. And since P1 and the conclusion has a common factor that they are talking about, the stimulus hints at us to look only at those two sentences.

Hence, we should connect P1 and conclusion through the following reasoning:

P1: A -> B

C: A -> C

then B->C is possible

B would be the answer since if we translate, it would be SI -> Rule of law

Dubious assumption -> no adequate argument hence answer A?

Uncontrollable factors (such as lack of rain) --> farmer's wheat crops fail --> lose business (dealers, mechanics) AND fuel suppliers unable to make profit

From this we can go into the answer choices and go through process of elimination

A) there is nothing we can infer about prospering

B) rainfall below average? Can that be an uncontrollable factor? Also, we know that they cannot make profit, but that doesn't mean that they will lose money

C) incorrect.. nothing known about being responsible

D) Impact on major economic crises? Unknown

E) Yes! drought is an uncontrollable factor and it does have impact on other businesses (shows that is is not restricted to farm productivity)

Recognizing that it is a flaw question, I tried to predict the flaw in my own words before looking at the answer choices.

From the stimulus, they give out two premises to support the conclusion:

"Most of those who are aware believe that a union would not represent their interests or that, if it did, it would not effectively pursue them."

"...since the majority of them obviously disapprove of the attempt." (I take the word obviously -> generalizing)

It concludes that "Thus, the graduate students at the university should not unionize"

So it goes from just ppl believing something to that they disapprove and therefore shouldn't unionize?

They seem to be confusing that just because they believe, it doesn't mean that they disapprove. Hence, answer E
