Wondering if there exists a cheat sheet for biconditionals? I know there isn't that much to learn but it's helpful to have one to refer to when you're trying to cement those skills!

did anybody else use formal logic to solve this...?

Is the trend of beefing up the question stem like we see in this particular question a trend that is still regularly used on modern LSATS?

E tripped me up for two reasons:
1. It talks about children acting contrary to their parents' expectations. This seemed supported by the fact that the parent tried two previous ways of getting her to brush her teeth with no success, then miraculously after exhausting the other methods was there success in the third option which isn't described in an beaming matter.
2.It talks about getting attention which could be supported by the fact that the parent is paying attention to her by reading a story before bedtime - a reward for her tooth brushing behaviour.
Curious if anybody caught this.

Thanks everybody! I ended up withdrawing from Feb's LSAT and am either going to take June's or September's! Being able to boost by GPA after graduating is a pretty good way for me put some control in the application process instead of relying on just one exam. Look's like I will have to renew my 7Sage account and keep at it for a while longer ;)

It should be on their websites but off the top of my head, I think to be competitive it would be around this:
UBC GPA 3.7/165
UofT: 4.0/166
Osgoode: Holistic therefore impossible to say but still quite high...
Dalhousie: 3.7/162 + Holistic
UOttawa: Holistic --> My friend got in with a 3.3/163
UofA: 3.7/161

As somebody who was in your position not too long ago, there are some things that helped me a lot!
You should really stop timing yourself, learn the fundamentals of LR and LG and slowly start timing yourself. I wrote a 150 my first time (December 2016), and got my score back yesterday for February 2018's test and managed to pull off a 164. Give yourself an hour for each section once you feel you understand the fundamentals of each question type and have practiced a lot, undoubtedly you will miss certain questions and that's where 7Sage comes in. Eventually you'll be able to bring your time down to 35 minutes per section, everybody is different and how long it takes you to achieve that will depend entirely on your learning style and the amount of practice.

Even though I ended up getting this question right, I think what threw me off was that both the manager and accountant appeared to be talking about ALL the restaurants which didn't make sense to me on a first quick read. The stimulus would have been more clear if it said "CERTAIN" restaurants.. Anyways, clearly I didn't read close enough and connect the dots. Practice makes perfect.

Why is this one only rated medium difficulty?
So I just got my December LSAT results back, and as expected, I didn't do very well (155), I knew right after that exam that it hadn't gone great. I choked on the logic games section, and underperformed on the LR. I need some advice on whether I should take the February one, or wait until June... Essentially my situation is as follows:
I am from Canada, and my GPA is slightly lower than the median for most people applying to law schools here. The average applicant has an A- average which is 80-83% (with a 162 LSAT), mine is a B+ 77%, or so (differs from school to school but this is just a snapshot). This isn't from lack of ability (I got straight A's my final year of university), just lack of focus or motivation my first few years. I already paid for a handful of applications for this coming admission cycle and obviously would like to go somewhere but I am not sure if I should put myself through 1 month of extreme stress with a large chance of not getting a high LSAT mark (163-165) I currently need (and blowing another LSAT write). From what I have learned in JY's course, crushing the LSAT is a habitual process that most people get to from months and months of constant repetition and practice. I put in a couple months of full time studying but clearly that wasn't enough.
A handful of people have recommended that I register for classes at the university I graduated from as an unclassified student and take a year of classes that I am interested in (I am a huge history/politics buff) to bring up my GPA. On average, Canadian law schools tend to weigh GPA slightly higher than the LSAT. I shot myself in the foot by not becoming absolutely stellar at LG's, I was averaging 16/23 on the 8 PT's I took before my actual write. Assuming I did well in all these classes, It would alleviate some LSAT pressure.
The only downsides to waiting until June is that I wasted $800 on applications since February's LSAT is the last score accepted for admission in Fall 2017, and I delay my law school aspirations a bit (I am currently 26 years old).
Anybody who has advice, opinions, or general comments....please let me know!
God dammit I somehow missed the "1 compound per pellet" line!
