Felt like I was guessing between B and E. Could not discern the difference between them.

B: /valid --> harm

E: harm --> quackery

Even diagramming it like this, I could not tell which was correct. somebody shoot me

Also, for answer choice E, it is not "totally unanswered." Stevens would clearly disagree with E, whereas we don't know if Miguel would disagree or be neutral. He would probably disagree, because the wording of E is so overly strong/conclusive.

I disagree with this question. Social drinkers and heavy drinkers are not mutually exclusive. Come on Miguel...

I feel like strengthen EXCEPT and weaken EXCEPT question types are the most difficult for me. In retrospective this should've been so easy.

A should be correct. This suggests that the lower salaries earlier in their careers is not compensated for higher salaries later in their careers. So, the company's "training" does not make them better or more productive reporters.

This question type is exceptionally easy.

This was a pretty tough passage!

tbh the distinction between conditional and causal logic is useless for the LSAT. You never need to know that

Are you taking your practice tests under the same conditions every time? I would do it on a Saturday or Sunday morning when you are feeling good and fresh.

1-2 PT per week is sufficient, if you do more you could burn out or see score decreases.

What is your average PT? What is your highest PT?

the either/or wording threw me off

Can somebody re-word the last sentence of the stimulus (the conclusion). I interpreted the conclusion as "appreciate advances --> computer science," which would be valid.

Considering this is a 5/5 difficulty question and 40% of people selected B, JY did not spend enough time on this choice.

To rule out B, are we supposed to assume that the essayist's anecdotal experience is not at all representative of the population as a whole? Therefore, it is possible that most people are intelligent and wise and the essayist just happens to meet people who do not have both of these characteristics?

Also there is a typo on this page: "It you got it right, then you should feel great about yourself!"

Yeah this question was so poorly written. What the fuck LSAC?

How are we to assume that the ivory ban is an international measure? How are we to assume that Zimbabwe is benefitting from culling the elephant herds? How are we to assume that Zimbabwe is not in some way responsible for the poaching problem?

Also, for answer choice C (which I picked), I could definitely argue that an international embargo infringes on a nation's economic sovereignty.

Thinking about these three framings was helpful!

I ruled out B also because "nutrition" is an "organic" factor, so it just strengthens the existing hypothesis.

Not sure if that reasoning makes sense.

I think JY misses part of the flaw here.

The way that the stimulus moves from “criminals” to “the law-abiding majority” is fallacious. If criminals are not responsible for their crimes, they are not criminals, making them part of the law-abiding majority, making them responsible for their environment, making them responsible for their criminal actions.

But, as JY says, it is also the case that holding the law-abiding majority responsible for creating an environment that caused criminal actions contradicts the implicit principle that criminals should not be held responsible for their actions.

This argument suffers from a false binary fallacy! I should have noticed that.

This is an absolutely stupid question. Are you kidding LSAC?

There is a reason we don't see many emotional and subjective questions on the LSAT.

Still don't understand how D is incorrect for question 9...

Fuck this passage.

Why am I bad at reading?

Wow I've never seen a question curve go all the way up to 180. This was a hard one.

I got a 174 on this PT (103) and somehow got this wrong...

For me I had this issue with the "you try" lessons in the core curriculum where you solve one problem, but not with my own drills.

I think you should give yourself more time to study. 15 prep tests is not a lot. Maybe delay and take the June administration?

Also, you could try out other resources, like the LSAT Demon or the LSAT Loophole book.
