Its annoying because I had learned/studied what a Philistine is before this passage and I recalled something about materialism and then like a dummy without putting it back into context of the passage picked C because I equated materialism with wanted to make a profit.

How did I confidently get D as my answer but miss #13.... I..

I am doing something similar, I have 2 academic LOR's and one from an a leader in a city organization I have had a position with for 2 years. Works for me because for the kind of law I want to pursue/ my focus, having that external LOR just makes sense. Some schools however may ask for 3 academic LORs and give you the option to add an additional. It really just depends on the school from my research (not an expert). So, I would look at the schools you want to apply to and see what they are looking for.

For q7 I picked A but during BR I switched to E. Tbh I don't understand why E is not a good choice. I feel like A is more of a stretch because it seems to be saying that Hackley represents a long standing tradition but she is just one person?

E seems to be saying that without Hackley, who began the program, and other music teachers, such music instruction would have deteriorated. Such info is supported and stated in that paragraph.

Thoughts? #help (Added by Admin)

For AC E I read " There were a few stylistic similarities" instead of "there were few stylistic similarities" and I thought perfect, this makes me think that the comparisons were decent and not that they showed little kid scribbles which is sort of what AC B is able to affirm. Literally a single letter misread and Boom failure. I will be sure to read more careful.

Regardless, B is such a great choice. TY JY!

I have only listened to JY at 1.5 or 1.7 speed and this video reloaded and was set back to 1x speed and I literally thought they had a new person doing videos and I almost freaked out. #team1.7speedJYonly !!!!

I am not sure if I am understanding your question correctly but it seems like generally anything bias is problematic. In this case a neighborhood association is also just not the best source to get information and opinions from when making decisions because they are going to do what they see fit and may not be what is best for the city/community. Science and data matter and so I think the question wants you to assume the neighborhood association filled with a bunch of people with free time may not be the best to inform major decisions.

Also yes I think the writers assumed that since this was the only source it was problematic. Making crucial decisions usually requires experts and multiple credible opinions to back it up.

I am not sure if this is the best strategy but I do not redo the section. That seems like it takes a lot of time. I star/ flag the ones I get wrong that I think need more review and come back to them later and redo them and review again.

who's gunna tell JY that capitalism, especially American capitalism is the most murderous thing to exist on this planet... anyways

I see where you are coming from! But, I would not buy more gas/gasohol for my car just because it is cheaper rather, just when needed. Idk if that is the right way to think about it but that how I avoided making that assumption.

I did not make the connection that AC B was talking about the task force suggestion. When I read this I thought that B was so vague and almost irrelevant ugh

RIGHt!!! omg haha. I got it right but had so much doubt and am afraid I will make a mistake when a question like this comes up again. I also think the "most" "some" etc trip me up as well. anyways :'(

I no longer want to be in the lsat world anymore, get me out D:

ahhh okay! Dont know why that didn't click in my brain. Thank you so much!

I chose B because in the weakening lesson I remember it said to introduce alternate explanations. So in my head the water pollution was an alternate explanation to the blame placed on the seals. Although I see why D is the correct answer idk I am still confused. Help :/

Hey! So, surprisingly for me MSS has been going pretty well because I am strictly looking at the stimulus and if the AC makes any jumps or assumptions I immediately cancel it as an AC. So, for AC B, when it mentioned adopting a low-cholesterol diet, I immediately knew this was probably not it. It is easier to conclude that the gene just inhibits the elevation of the blood cholesterol because it is already mentioned in the stimulus. Idk if that helps but eliminating answer choices has been easier when I go through them and note whether the stimulus would allow for the conclusion. I don't think for instance the premises here would suggest a new diet to solve this problem but rather explains why this gene has such effect. ¯(ツ)/¯ hope that makes any sense lol

I feel you on that but then I remind myself they are most strongly supported questions not must be true.

This may be late! But how I understood this is because the first sentence specifically states "democratic institutions". The author is speaking specifically to that form of governance/ society. The "other societies" to me was wrong because it was stretching the author's statement.

Interested!!
