This felt like a 10/5 difficulty question for myself.

You have to assume that there was left over coal from 90 that was counted in 91? Maybe they only count the coal mined in that specific year?

This seems like a garbage question.

It's not possible to have negative amounts of coal as they don't import or export, and the question states they had a considerable less amount in 91 than in 90, perceiving that they still had coal left in 91.

Idk maybe I'm dumb, this just seems like a shit question.

So if C said some legal voters are professors, than it would be a correct AC right? I just saw the A-> B and A-> C therefore B some C formula instantly and chose C, but the negation of professor makes it incorrect. Just want to confirm this is right.

So we are suppose to assume that "easier to adhere to" meant they forgot to put out trash in the past? Seems a little sus, sometimes this zero assumption stuff is really annoying and convoluting.

JY even says, maybe if they can adhere easier they can put out more recyclables. MAYBE is the key word, we are not sure from that statement whether or not it will change anything. Seems like a big assumption to me.

I eliminated E because I decided they didn't violate it based on the "command" aspect of the question stem. They had to take a lower price to ensure majority ownership, therefore they could not command a higher price. Not really sure about this question in general, seems kinda suspect.

Anyone able to explain to me why E is the overall better choice?

Hard Stuck at 160... How do I get better?

Ive been studying for the LSAT for a while now, I've done the core curriculum and all that. I write my LSAT in January to apply for fall admission. For months now I'm scoring 158-163 spamming PT's everyday, and I just seem to have hit my peak.

I only need to improve a couple points so I score in the 160-165 range consistently, as that will get me in the school I want. I'm just not sure how to improve anymore. It feels like I'm not getting better, I'm just doing PT's and getting the same score. Typically -5 on LR, -3 or 4 on LG, and -8 to -10 on RC.

Any tips? I wanted to do a tutoring session, but its too expensive for me.

Really need to focus on not attacking premises or conclusions, and view these correlation questions as looking for an alternative hypothesis.

I think the whole don't attack the premise or conclusion messes with me. I thought D was directly attacking the conclusion, therefore it made me not want to select it.

This stimulus completely fried my brain. I found the passage so confusing. Ended up getting the right answer by just eliminating the other 4. Kinda lucky. Hope I don't run into questions like this on the present LSAT, it took me wayyyyy too long.

So basically to make sure I'm clear...

C is wrong because you have to assume humming is part of that category.

D is correct because the question stem states you assume all of the context in the ACs are true, therefore AC-C stating that humming can be easily learned to control is not an assumption, rather a fact based on the question stem.

My brain went to thinking that we were assuming humming was something that was "easy" to control, which I thought was wrong. Just have to read more carefully I guess.

I got absolutely finessed by the bait and picked answer A, I debated hard and long in blind review between A or B, and for some reason I decided B to be too general and making massive assumptions about languages.

I got jebaited :(

Although D shouldve been a red flag that A was wrong, as they are essentially the same answer.

I was down to C and D, and I chose D because the question stim never states the country has began industrialization. We have to draw this assumption on our own. I thought maybe them having per capita output of $5000 implied they were industrializing, but that isn't stated in the stim either.

I was drawn to C because of the tip that NA questions usually have weaker language in the answer, like some. D was stronger. I played myself.

"Raising the minimum wage will lead to more disposable income for a large segment of the working population"

"In many factories in Country X, most workers are paid more than minimum wage".

I took this to say, "In atleast 51% of factories, at least 51% of workers are paid more than minimum wage. To me, this directly contradicts the premise that raising minimum wage will lead to more disposable income for a LARGE segment of the working population, because it won't.

I guess because it said "many" instead of "all" factories or workers makes it wrong? Tough question.

Is D not wrong because it says existing revenue? They are talking about the new revenue, well atleast Regina is. Only Amal mentions old revenue.

I found all answers wrong, this is a dog question. Try again.

I chose E in this scenario.

I didn't think "perfect translation" was synonymous with "translated well". It also uses the word "impossible". Two extremes in terms of vocabulary with perfect and impossible being used, I didn't see "only poetry cannot be translated well" = "perfect translation can be impossible"

On top of this, E is only referring to a language, not a type of literature, where in turn the excerpt only speaks to language in terms of being written and expressed in literature.

This is an extremely convoluting question in my opinion, almost too much so.

Even after watching the video, this question confuses the hell out of me. I'm just not understanding the language I think.

A appears to be true, but it is not talking about the biologist, rather the population of "some speculate..." which is what makes it wrong, correct? As the question is asking what the biologists view is, not the view of those who speculate.

Therefore D is correct because it is going against the speculation of some people, which is what the biologist disputes in her argument?

I've never been so mind boggled by goats before.

I genuinely still feel like D is a better option. You have no idea what people are accustomed and use to. It is such a large assumption.

With C, Charleston being fairly warm during the day is irrelevant, there is no specific numerical number associated with this premise. It says temperatures drop STEEPLY at night, meaning a lot. This means significant heating is required.

I don't understand this question.
