when asked to define soft skills, I'm using you as an example js.

if the LSAT's way of answering become narrowing it down to two and selecting the wrong answer, I'd hit 190 no sweat.

This is how I see it,
assume a vacuum, where only the provided premises and conclusions exist.
within that vacuum, as we know, there is the support's strength, lets say it's 100/100 (just to illustrate better).
the strength exists only if its the only explanation possible.
the moment you introduce an alternative explanation i.e., an alternative hypothesis (or a conclusion), suddenly the vacuum is too big for the two of them (bucko).
what I mean by that is, the moment an alternative explanation is introduced, the support for the original goes from 100 to less than hundred, lets say 41/100 because a stronger hypothesis explaining the phenomena has been added to the bubble.
In a nutshell, this did not falsify or change the conclusion or the premises in any way, this changed the "strength" of support provided by simply showing that a "better" or "stronger" alternative explanation exists that renders the original explanation "weaker".
weaker you say? well that's exactly what the question is asking.
I hope this makes sense but that's how it worked in my head

no expert, but I believe cancel the score IF AND ONLY IF it zeroes you're chances at Law School.
You could improve and retake the test, and an upwards trend shows potential and isn't necessarily bad for your application. Cancelling only conceals a 158 and opens it to assumptions of lower.
I would cancel only if I score 150 or lower and I'm absolute that my next attempt will be realistically higher than that.

I simplified it, translations do wonders
now,
PS -m-> b -m-> f
this means that most pet stores sell birds, and most of these pet stores also sell fish.
take modifiers out and make it into bare bones.
and
f + /b -> g -> /ind
this means that if a store has fish and not birds then it sells gerbils but no independent store sells gerbil (the first half makes sense but second half, how??)
to answer,
the stimulus tells us that no independent store sells gerbils.
i.e.,
if independent store, no gerbil or if gerbil and no independent store (both are contrapositives of one another.
D's the correct answer because it says:
ind -> /(f+/b)
or contrapositive
f+/b -> /ind
which is, fish and no exotic bird means no independent store.
that exactly mimics our set up earlier ( f+/b->g->/ind).
hopefully that explains! (or at least makes it easier a bit :) )

yes, you're allowed 6 blank A4 sheets convenient for diagramming.

proud of myself for figuring out the necessary and sufficient conditions without error. It took this many lessons but it's doable.
all of us are gonna make it!

it's implied, if that makes sense.

not necessarily.
there is no fixed order of how the different elements of a stimulus/passage are organized.

It's referring to "indicator" as we talked about indicators for sufficient and necessary conditions i.e., words that indicate that overlapping or intersecting sets are present.
Hope that provides some clarification!

to simplify, or as I put it more so,
IF : one of the possible conditions, i.e., If it's raining , I wont go out.
ONLY IF: absolute and the ONLY condition i.e., Only if it's raining I won't go out.
In the former we understand that yes rain is one condition we know that will make you not go out, there could be others too. Like if it didn't rain that does not mean you went out for certain, we just know that what would happen if it rains.
In the latter, it's more of a anything could happen but rain and I'd still go out. If you stayed in, it definitely rained because that's the only reason you won't go out. So if you went out, it didn't rain.
Hope that explains (and is objectively correct, subjectively this was fire)
The one piece is real
