Thank you so much! That's very helpful. It's a good reminder to read for reasoning structure. I typically ask myself "why is the author writing this part?" I don't think that necessarily helps me get past the -4 tough questions that I keep missing but maybe I recentering that approach will help!

This was kind of an alarming question to me because, as others have mentioned, the flaw in the argument was not clear to me at all before going into the answer choices. Usually I want to be able to anticipate the answer choices, but I was completely blank. Luckily E stood out to me very clearly and after reading it I returned to the stimulus and realized the importance of "licensing" to the entire argument.

I guess the trouble is ... did I just get lucky? Should I have been able to pick up on that before going into the answer choices? Thankfully none of the other ACs were very tempting, in my opinion.

@ahm299178 I'm not sure ... it was just there. I took the August test so I already had a ProctorU account. The browser remembered me so I didn't have to login. Not sure why the sign-ups were already available.

I dunno about that ... my thinking was the immunity can be achieved through a variety of mechanisms. Detoxifying a substance, expelling it, storing it somewhere special in the body — these are all mechanisms, in my mind, that could achieve the result of immunity. I'm not sure if that's the scientifically accurate conception of immunity or if it's what the author was suggesting, but that mindset helped me rule out AC E and get to the right answer.

I picked AC C simply because all the others were weaker ..... But at the end of the day I feel like this is a BS question because AC C is in no way clearly supported. Even if in a given corrido lines 1 and 3 of the despedida follow a set convention, that doesn't mean they repeat. In the text's despedida example, there are zero repeating lines. So how in the world are we supposed to infer that there are lines in common (lines that repeat) in a single corrido?

FYI, I just went in and scheduled. I didn't think it opened until noon today but I just checked in case and I had no problem scheduling. Didn't have to pull any type of special maneuver. Perhaps everyone already knows this.

wtf. I have received no email.

It seems like JY's explanations vary to a great degree in terms of whether he encourages us to use outside/external information or life experience as a resource in answering questions. Here he clearly wants us to focus on the stimulus and block out any other knowledge. In other questions though, even on this PT specifically, he asks rhetorical questions aimed at our own life experiences and outside frames of knowledge as wasy to evaluate questions.I haven't found much rhyme or reason to it and I don't find it particularly helpful.

Just wondering, is it safe to apply this same line of thinking to the Bible in this question? Since the main flaw is about confusing relative/absolute, am I correct that we still cannot conclude the Bible "exercised a great deal of influence" on the readers of the column? Say that everyone voted for four books almost equally, two books getting 250 votes each, one getting 249, and the bible getting 251.

got this wrong but I do love 1984

For me it was the fact that its second clause started with "since."

Does anyone know how to change your test date? I signed up for the October flex but decided to push to November. Can't seem to find on the website how to change it and the LSAC line is always busy when I call! Plz help

DITTTTTTTO. anyone know?

In my reviews I'm trying to better distinguish between Necessary Assumptions and Sufficient Assumptions. This question seems like a good example of a question that is called an NA but its correct answer choice could also be correct for an SA question. Am I right in thinking that?

This trips me up a lot on RA questions that list an SA or Strengthening answer choice alongside the correct RA answer choice.

Would appreciate any tips from folks who have encountered this challenge!

@randombackup9460

Glad to hear you got a lot of interest! For those of us who won't be able to learn with you, any chance you could post some of your major takeaways for us to stew on?

I'm re-taking the test in October. I don't think I did particularly well in August since I choked and just couldn't focus on the rest of the test. I took a couple of days off but will get back to 2 tests per week and daily timed sections. I need to figure out how to deal with the nervousness that comes with the actual test - if anyone has any tips, I'd much appreciate it!

DITTO. Would be interested to hear more if you feel like sharing. I locked up on the first challenging LR question (which was my 1st section) and then for the rest of LR I was just a nervous wreck. Couldn't even think straight. I had been trying to do regular exercise and meditation and all that jazz to help the nerves, but I'm thinking that the only solution might be just an insane amount of practice under pressure. Let me know what you're thinking!

To anyone who paid for score preview, finished the LSAT writing and took the rest of the exam: how soon after were you able to see your score? Was it sent via e-mail or did it show up at the end of the test?

My understanding is that score preview doesn't actually allow you to see your score any earlier than anyone else. It just allows you a six day window to cancel that score before it is sent to law schools. (the term "score preview" is quite a misnomer in this case)

That being said, I could be totally wrong and would love for others to confirm or deny this.

@juliet7sage reposting this in case you have an official answer:

QUESTION — if something technical goes wrong before or during the LSAT-Flex, what recourse do test takers have with LSAC?

Taking my test on Monday! And yet I woke up this morning to my IP address being stolen and the remnants of Hurricane Laura threatening to knock out internet in my region.

Taking my test on Monday! And yet I woke up this morning to my IP address being stolen and the remnants of Hurricane Laura threatening to knock out internet in my region.

So, QUESTION — if something technical goes wrong before or during the LSAT-Flex, what recourse do test takers have with LSAC?

#help can anyone help me understand the affect of "only" vs "the only" ?

Thanks y'all! It sounds like 7Sage > Trainer when it comes to LG. So knowing that, and given I have about two and a half weeks before my first LSAT (ruh roh), would y'all suggest going through the course syllabus for LG or just focus on the fool proof method / rigorous drilling?

When I review JY's video explanations for the games, I don't feel like I'm missing any core piece of fundamental knowledge, which makes me think I don't go need to relearn everything ... but ... idk
