why can't we pause anymore? I usually pause to read more slowly and comprehend what he is saying but now it goes blank?

Energy is never created or destroyed. Stubborn outside Physics knowledge is the only thing that saved me from D. I knew it was a gamble interpreting it this way but transferred is not the same as produced.

A is just a confusing way of calling out the causation vs. correlation problem. If there is a good causal relationship, then changing cause will change the outcome (effect). If argument doesn't give evidence that changing the cause will change the outcome, then it is flawed.

Best way to approach any flaw question is to ID the flaw first before getting all confused by the answer choices. Once the causal vs. correlation flaw is identified, look for anything that has to do with outcomes and causes and effects even if it seems jumbled, take time to really let the answer click before moving on. If it seems to be in even remotely the same universe as the pre identified type of flaw, read closely.

I almost chose C. Lesson learned on that is that circular reasoning needs to be more clearly stated. The premise needs to literally include the conclusion more on the surface, not vaguely maybe assumed deep down below the mysterious layers.

I chose D and learned an important lesson. Each person must have a clearly stated opinion that clearly agrees or disagrees. Hiro did not state "serious underestimates" so I ASSUMED he did not agree. Not stating the exact same thing as the other person does not equal disagreeing. To disagree both people must clearly state their stance on the issue at hand and those two stances that are clearly stated must be in opposition.

A way to diagnose the problem is to look at Hiro in isolation and ask if it is a Must Be True that he thinks there were NOT serious underestimates? Are serious underestimates a COULD BE TRUE?

There is nothing in what he says that eliminates the possibility that there are serious underestimates therefore we can not conclusively say he disagrees. Therefore D is wrong.

#15 I thought E was wrong because "Conventional" is not the exact same thing as "Orthodox". I chose B because I thought pointing out additional considerations such as the possibility of using hierarchies would be including more complexities in the legal analysis? Can someone help me understand more why my reasoning was flawed? Thanks

I chose A because I thought there was no way they would ever dump trash on a burial site unless all of the bodies had completely disintegrated due to destructive effects of erosion. SMH.

I mean I guess D is the best but the main takeaway for me here is that there is always a chance of just encountering some crazy questions that are really not well written. This is just part of the territory and luck of the draw on the LSAT. I'm going to just call it the cost of doing business and consider it overhead. Best to focus on shoring up other weaknesses that I can reasonably fix in my overall LSAT game to cover myself if I encounter anything like this. Focus on what I can reasonably control.

I think you can pay the $19 for the analytics subscription. I'm on the fence.

Absolutely. Aim for 170. You can totally do it. It's a matter of time and effort more than anything. Biggest thing is consistency and REALLY learning from mistakes. I kept a 3 subject notebook where I wrote down the questions I got wrong in each section, why I chose wrong answer, why I missed right answer and lessons learned. I went from 151 to 171. Do minimum one timed section per day and then at least one logic game and a few LR. Do a couple questions here and there on your phone instead of social media and it adds up. Focus more on doing real LSAT questions and only go to curriculum if you get questions wrong. Spend time on the explanations. Don't stop reviewing until you FULLY UNDERSTAND the correct answer and WHY YOU MISSED IT. You start to understand the test and learn from mistakes and start getting way more questions right. Aim for breaking 170 so you can get more scholarship money. YOU GOT THIS!!!!
