PT5.S1.Q25 LR

I understand the explanation for the question and the diagramming that led to the answer. However, I still am confused with the first line of the stimulus: "Because of the recent transformation of the market". Using the lesson on for/since/because being followed by a premise, that was my assumption and how I attempted the problem the first time around.

None of the explanations use that first sentence at all though. They just use

/10% --> B

and

10% --> 20%

Why is the because in line 1 not used as per the for/since/because lesson?

I suggest not seeking affirmation from the test/studying. It is a long journey with pitfalls along the way. LSAT studying related affirmation/reward is too unreliable - there is no guarantee of the time frame upon which you will improve/get the score you want, etc. Seek affirmation and reward in other parts of your life. Things like hobbies, friends, and relationships are a much more reliable stream of affirmation and reward, which in turn will help you with your LSAT studying.

Secondly, my non-mainstream view of depression is that it is not a disease, but a symptom telling you that your body needs something. It could be anything. Exercise, socializing (every type that in sum scratches your itch), sunlight, etc.

Also, perhaps this just means the methods you were trying aren't working for you and that you need to try another method? Have you exhausted every single resource/test prep company out there?

When you say "Beijing and Guangzhou are both around the same distance/same amount of money needed to spend to get there and to get accommodations." does that mean that it costs extra to receive accommodations at an international location?

The conclusion is that the survey respondents may have been biased in favor of Lopez. B is incorrect because people in the live audience =/= survey respondents, and even with B the argument could very well still be true, or at best B minimally weakens the argument (how many were in the live audience? 200? How many were surveyed? 1 million viewers? who knows). D, the correct answer, includes the specific group of people we're talking about in the stimulus and includes the modifier "most", which weakens the argument that the audience was biased in favor of Lopez. D is almost like a direct counter premise.

My opinion: The questioning is a constant, regardless of what field you go in to, especially in today's day and age where we have endless options in front of us. It's basically one of those grass is greener situations/conundrums. Ultimately it comes down to choosing a path and sticking to it.

Also, your post is implying some negatives of going to law school instead of utilizing the prime years of your life. Conversely, with every passing year your brain is changing (arguably deteriorating), and every second that passes is another second away from the days of high school (somewhat college) where you were forced to focus and study and all that. It's so much harder to go back to school after having worked. I say this from personal experience (graduate school after years of working), and I'm sure you've heard older people say this countless times.

Imagine the world where becoming a lawyer is truly what you want (even if you don't fully know it now) and you decide to go to law school now and become a lawyer. Now you're 3 years "ahead" of the other version of you who tried your social marketing/media related stuff.

Finally, look at your first statement: "I would love to go to law school, however..."

I would love to go to law school

The rest of your post - the fears and worries.

I wonder if deep down you do know what you really want, but your (and/or socially instilled) fears and worries, are talking you out of your dream.

I felt there were too many one sided replies and wanted to provide the other perspective advocating going to law school.

For those of us who are unaware, what is the way canceling works now? Is the score shown as "cancelled"? Or just completely as if the test was never taken?

Confirm action

Are you sure?
