Can someone explain why E isn't the right answer choice? #help

11: Can someone explain why D is wrong? I took this from the statement in the first paragraph that T believes art is "produced by and for social elites."

In my mistaken choice of answer choice D, I think my error was in the scope of the question. Instead of asking about all people, this question is specific to the volunteers that are mentioned. Within the population of these volunteers, they were not able to look at the packaging of the cola; therefore, it is impossible to generalize based on packing since it was not included in the test condition.

When I first read this question, I identified a gap between organization and efficiency that needed to be filled by the answer choices. During the time crunch of the PT, I mistakenly identified A as the correct answer choice by skimming and finding these key words. When reading it more carefully during BR, I realized that A only reinforces the confusion in the problem. While answer choice A could have been close to correct for answer question type, this question reinforced the importance of a methodological approach to LR: looking at the stem first and then moving forward with anticipations and elimination.

@ said:

so 'the week of July 12th" does that mean we could have up to the 18th to take it?

I called LSAC today and they told me that the test will be administered on Sunday (July 12) and Monday (July 13)

PSA: You can sign up now for July FLEX. If you go to ProctorU's website and click sign in, you can enter your email and choose "forgot my password" and it will send you a new password. I just did this and was able to log in and confirm a time.

LSAC will give you up to a $125 refund if you book a hotel room. You just have to email them and ask

I'm in a similar situation

Doesn't "but" introduce premises and not conclusions? Why is JY saying here that it introduces conclusions? #help

In the stimulus, I read the second sentence as saying that some minimum amount of meat and dairy are required to protect from OP. This lead to me being confused in AC E because the vegetarian does not have this minimum amount of meat required.

#help Is there another reason AC E is wrong?

Thanks @!

JY's rule of thumb is to split when there are less game boards than questions remaining (questions that give you an additional rule/guidance count less). If I'm not sure whether I should split, I take a look at the questions. If most of them are very open ended (no additional premises), that's an indication that I should split. If not, it may not be necessary.

I think it's definitely important to start practicing the digital version as soon as possible even if that means buying more tests from 7sage. When I started prepping on the digital version for July's test, I was really surprised to find that my average score was almost 10 points lower than my average paper score. Not saying that's true for everyone, but it's much harder for me to read online -- I was able to lower that gap eventually, but had to do much online practice before I improved. Best of luck!

Can someone help me to understand the difference between answer choice D and answer choice E? #help

Where in the passage do we learn that which environments are at high latitudes? Do you need to know this coming into the passage? #help

Those who signed up for the May test -- what were the time slot options like? Were they all weekdays during regular working hours (EST)?

I believe I will be ready to take the July LSAT, but can't take a full Monday off work so I'm planning to take the August test due to the Saturday test date. Wondering if I should reconsider my plans if July is offered after work hours/on a weekend.

Does anyone know when they'll send out the email to sign up for time slots?

Can someone #help me to understand why Q17 isn't answer choice D? In the explanation, JY mentions that passage B does not believe that the claims from passage A are vacuous. My understanding from reading passage B was that passage B is accusing passage A of vacuous claims -- the main point from passage B seems to be that evolutionary psychology could be true but that it also could not be.

The first time I read this question, I mistakenly chose E because I did not properly separate the premises from the conclusions. Choice E states that tradition and individuality as evidence for his arguments. However, tradition and individuality are not premises, but they are the conclusion.

When reading this the first time, I mistakenly understood "lead poisoning will be eradicated" to mean "lead poisoning as a result of lead paint will be eradicated." With this mis-reading, I choose incorrect answer choice E in an attempt to bride the gap between children and lead paint. However, during blind review I realized that even if every home with lead paint had children living in it it still would not necessarily eradicate all lead poisoning. Thus, I came to answer choice C.

How do you know when to draw out implicit premises in questions like this? #help

Argument: Because class size doesn't affect grades, smaller class sizes (and more individual teacher attention) don't necessarily mean that students are more engaged in learning process.

A: The school type isn't necessary for the argument.

B: The first time I read this, I choose B because of the scenario in which a teacher spends all their time with one student. In this scenario, the hypothesis that smaller class size makes students more engaged would be incorrect: regardless of smaller class size, the teacher spends all her time with the one student and doesn't engage with individual students. However, this is not the correct answer choice because it does not have to be true. In another interpretation of this answer choice, a teacher could unevenly spend time between students but could spend more time with them (although unevenly) in a world with smaller class size. In this world, the answer choice would be incorrect because it doesn't relate to student engagement.

C: This could be true, but doesn't have to be true. Even if the same number of teachers stayed, students could still not have an engaged learning process.

D: This is correct because it connects the premise about grades to the conclusion about student engagement. If we negate this answer choice (grades are not correlated to student engagement), then the argument falls apart.

E: This is totally unrelated because we're talking about student engagement and not about parental support.

Conclusion: The rehabilitation effort was not worthwhile.

A) When reading through this the first time, I mistakenly chose answer choice A. In this first go, I understood answer choice A to be saying that the otter population in other places had not changed; therefore, any harm to the otters must have been a result of the oil spill. Looking back, I realize that this is unrelated to the conclusion, which is talking about the efficacy of the rehabilitation efforts.

B) This question answer choice implies that it is possible for all of the otters to have been found. Thus, it calls into the premise that not all of the otters were found. This is important because it means that the rehabilitation efforts could have been somewhat successful: 18% is a much better success rate than whatever the smaller percentage that could have been otherwise possible is.

C) We're only talking about the success rate of otters that were affected by the spill, so this isn't necessary.

D) once again, we're only talking about otters.

E) This is subjective -- we have no information about what cost the author would consider to be effective.

I signed up for the July Flex after they announced that it was Flex, but the registration still required me to put in a testing center. Am I automatically registered for Flex or do I need to opt in? I haven't received any communications from LSAC.

@ has been a great LR tutor for me! I like how her style focuses specifically on my weak areas so that we can go over the most meaningful topics.
