Does ‘influence’ count the same as ‘causation’ in logic? That was what turned me off this answer, because i wasnt sure if influence was the same thing as caused and I know with these harder questions, often the language subtleties can kill you

#help I know this is dumb, but I immediately chose A, then overthought it because i read the conclusion as “Debbie didnt use sleight of hand, trick deck or a volunteer”. So A says its possible she just switched her method for each test. But the conclusion says she didnt use any of the methods, so if she switched methods then she would still be using one of the methods. How does the conclusion rule out that line of thinking? Would it need to say “1 AND 2 AND 3” instead of “1 nor 2 nor 3”?

Question Type Breakdown on LSAT

Was wondering if there is a breakdown of the average number of LR questions by question type? The LSAT Trainer book has a page that shows how many of each category is “normally” on each exam. however the categories dont match perfectly with the 7sage curriculum. I figured 7sage must have a breakdown so that we know which categories will have 5-10 questions, and which will have 0-2.

Preparing for Jan LSAT

So I registered for the Jan LSAT, expecting to get more info on exactly how the test was administered, what devices are compatible, what I need to bring etc. So can someone explain the dynamics of how you actually take the exam? I have an new 2021 Ipad with keyboard and want to make sure that’s compatible with taking the test.

Are there restrictions on where I can take the test? I dont have a place to take it at home so I’m looking into the best places for taking it that also satisfy all LSAC requirements (aka renting private study room in Library).

What am I allowed to bring with me? Ive been doing all my PTs with a blank piece of paper to write notes or draw diagrams but if im taking it online am I allowed to do that?

LSS: how do I make sure I’m fully prepared for the exam and dont have anything surprise me on exam day. Any suggestions/rules are appreciated!

I got tripped up by the analogy. I couldn’t determine its role in the argument and being on 7sage all i remember about argument by analogy is that its wrong. So while AC D seemed very attractive, I thought it was a trap because it talked about something that was irrelevant to the argument/conclusion. I saw an earlier comment that noted whenever they see ABA as part of an argument, they know they have to make sure that argument holds, so the larger argument can hold. Is that something that will show up often/can be used all the time? Or is this question a unique one

Did anyone else second guess C just because it sorta restates the premise? The AC says theyre imagining the correlation while the premise says “we found no correlation”. Wasted a good 30 seconds trying to decide if the answer was too simple

Other than intuition, is there any quick way to realize that the first part of the passage is irrelevant? That made things more confusing for me trying to figure out how to factor those into the linking when in reality they were just fluff. Or is the only way to understand they are irrelevant is through mapping it out #help (Added by Admin)
