I thought I was the only 7 sager in Seoul.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

I have been repeatedly going over Q.8 for awhile because, although I get why (D) is a better answer choice, I was not 100% sure why (E) was wrong. Rainfalls can cause rocks to fall down, and rain was not specifically mentioned as a factor to avoid, and there is a possibility that it can be calibrated. But then I just realized something. The answer choice (E) says "annual" rainfall rates, and the passage specifically emphasizes the slow rate of lichens' growth. And the correct answer choice (D) says kilometers per "century."

I hate to admit it, but sometimes I am impressed with the LSAT writers' cleverness and their obsessive focus on detail.

Anyways, I just wanted to share my "eureka" moment. This question bothered me for months. =)

Thanks for letting us know about "calm.com!" I tried it, and it is great!

My only problem was that in the conclusion it says "others will MOST LIKELY BE, on the whole, self-accepting and.." So, I thought technically it leaves some room open that they might not be self-accepting and accepting of others.

But I guess there is not enough support to say "WILL most likely be," and (D) is still correct.

Is my reasoning correct?

It was the playback speed setting. Mystery solved! I

He convinced me too. He really is a good speaker.

LG used to be my weakest section. I repeated PT1-30 games about 10 times. I usually did PT1-10 (10 sections, 40 games) a day on weekends. And at least 5 sections (20 games) a day during the week (I was working full-time). I spent months just doing the same games from PT1-30 over and over AND analyzing afterwards. Asking myself why was the question about "H" vs other variables. Why is this question a must be true not a could be true.

It was very time consuming and, I could not even look at games for awhile, but now LG is my strongest section. You don't have to do 30 games per day, but I think repetition is a key for improving LG. Use the earlier PTs to solidify your basic understanding of how LG works. Doing it over and over and over again until i felt like..awww..this is how it works... really worked for me. I hope this is helpful. =)

Thank you!

Had answer (D) said "creating jobs in the province" instead of "around the province" could it be a correct answer?

If the answer choice (D) said "There are now more authors who are unwilling to be published unless a profit is guaranteed," could (D) be a correct answer?

So true! I have found out that with "without" especially applying the rule does not always work.

Thank you so much for replying! =)

Thank you for your comments. My biggest issue is that I am all over the place with my scores for each section. I usually get 0 to max -2 in LG, but for LR and RC, my scores fluctuate so much. I was wondering if anyone had an experience of being stuck in the high 160s for awhile like me and then finally jumped to the mid 170s and what it was that caused that jump. For about 20 Preptests I have been stuck. With just 12 days away from the June LSAT in Asia, I was desperate for advice.

I am thinking of taking the June test and cancelling the score to try again in October if I do not see any significant increase in my score in the next week or so. =(

Thank you for replying. =)

The more I study for the LSAT, the more I realize I wish I had not wasted a whole year (and lots of money) studying the bibles. The LR bible's formal logic is just downright confusing. The LG bible covers good basics, but you can get similar information for free on-line. The RC bible just a waste of money, and you burn through so many precious RC passages. Bad bad bad!

I was hesitant to purchase the Ultimate package at first, but I have gotten so much more value out of it that I almost feel bad that I did not pay more money for it.

I envy you in a way because you have not been "tainted" by the bibles and are able to start fresh with 7 sage. Go with JY and 7sage.

I would like to ask for a bit more specific explanation on why (E) is a wrong answer, please?

I got the same error again................why.................

Hey guys,

I cancelled my Dec score as well. I score 167-173 and aiming to score 175+. I would be interested in a study group. I will send you an email as well.

I generally understand this question, but I have a problem with the wording with the answer choice (B).

I thought "the only" is a sufficient conditional indicator?

Thank you Alan.

You can do it!!!

I am taking the test in Asia, so I still have three more weeks.

Good luck everyone!

I just had to clear cache AGAIN!! I am getting tired of having to do it over and over. I wish I did not have to do it but I am happy that at least it works now.

Can you weaken the argument by showing that drinking coffee in general tends to reduce chances of heart disease? In other words, can an answer choice that says "a study comparing coffee drinkers and non-drinkers showed that coffee drinkers are less likely to develop heart disease" be correct?

J.Y.

I know it is trivial but I thought about (A) not including the "remove" part during my blind review.

In the stimulus it says "indicate in some other way," which I thought implies "removing the appliances" is one way of indicating they are not included. Therefore, (A)'s "indicate clearly" covers both removing and indicating in other ways.

Maybe the way I read it is wrong. I just wanted to share. =)

I was, still am, in the exact same situation. I scored in the high 160s consistently. With so many blind reviews and endless hours of PTing, my scores would not freakin' go up. I was completely discouraged and felt maybe I am not smart enough. I took the LSAT two days ago in Asia and could tell that it was going be somewhere in the high 160s again. I cancelled the score and was depressed for the past 2 days, but I found the motivation and courage to try again and start over. So, don't worry. You are not alone. Don't give up. Let's keep trying!

Thank you for your advice. =)
