This is so frustrating im so sorry. They will not give you the accommodations for the next lsat unless you can prove it is their fault and not yours. Find anything that can prove your case that you submitted before the deadline. How do you know that your request was received? Can you try to find an email or screen shot of this with the date clearly shown?

hi! B is not right because it describes a some relationship. B could be right if this was a PSA question which does not require absolute logical validity.

Since it is an SA question, the correct answer has to link the premise to the conclusion for the argument to be valid

nothing is wrong with you!!! there will be better days and worse days. Keep it pushing

thank you!!

i thought we knew it was the only options because they were telling us these are the only options.... so, to clarify we should be suspicious when it says the only options for soemthing are X and Y?

when I read "earth, the skin of the world" i knew the lsat writers lost it lmao

what a strange question to require the assumption that those of Indian ethnicity eat Indian curries.

i completely missed AC A because i didn't understand that the second week was the second occasion of testing . yikes

I was confused why A does not weaken- let me dumb it down

AC A is actually agreeing with the argument that environmental factors don't do much to contribute whether a teenager will play a sport, bc AC A is saying that teenagers are more likely to participate in a sport if they just are born and blessed with athletic ability

Some siblings are blessed w being good at sports and some are not, and its THAT which influences if they participate, not the environmental factor.

It would be weakening the argument if it said something like 'Even if one sibling is more athletically inclined than the other, if both siblings are raised in a household where family life encourages playing sports both siblings will play sports" which weakens the arg but saying family life is the strongest influence on playing sports

Something that tripped me up was the world 'many', I falsely translated 'many popular novelists' to mean 'MOST popular novelists' and that made me eliminate the correct AC off the bat.

Remember that 'many' is a subset of 'some' and has lower bounds, it means at least 1 and at most all. Most speaks of a range, 51% -100%.

Some = many, several, at least one, lots, not none

Most = a majority, more than half

I feel like this reminder is easier to explain why D is correct, because if you read the argument as "some popular novels have stylistic elements commonly associated with journalistic writing" it becomes pretty obvious that the flaw is neglecting to account for how many unsuccessful novels have journalistic writing

i chose AC d and JY made me laugh so hard im not even mad abt it

I was confused too.

B is saying that they used the lichen and grass to potentially produce light or heat- NOT to smoke meat. In par w the stim, its saying that they used these materials even though they produce a lot of smoke because they didn't have anything else available to burn.

B weakens the arg bc it says that they weren't burning the lichen and grass because it was smokey and to use it to smoke meat, but that grass and lichen were all they had on hand so thats what they burned and used for light and heat.

This took me a while to make sense of, hope this can help.

I chose A, but this is why C is correct

The premise is suggesting that Zebra finch and Dark eyed junko could have had the same ancestor who had H virus and passed it on to them respectively. Then it says that the H virus in Z and D are in the same location of chromosome.

This is why AC C is so sneaky.

If its true that the virus gets inserted in a random spot, and if it were true that Z and D were infected separately (not from a common ancestor) then Z and D would have the virus in a random spot and NOT the same location.

HOWEVER Since they DO have it in exactly the same location, that is indicative of them having a common ancestor with the virus, which infected the common ancestor and was passed on to each of them, respectively, in the same location when the species diverged.

AC C: If virus inserts itself into chromosome (=/= not inherited), it occurs at a random spot.

Since the stim tells us that Z and D have the H virus in the same location, it is likely that they were not inserted the virus (chances of it being random and randomly appearing in exact location is slim). Thus this piece of information strengthens the inference that they have inherited the H virus from the same ancestor instead.

2 years later and i agree, also chose E and need more clarity on why it doesnt work

Is this the strategy for approaching passages that have 2 parts? Read passage A first and go to questions eliminating AC choices based off of only passage A?

#HELP

I had this

P1: French Rev. Women Memoirs

P2: Credibility Debate; subjective

P3: Women Activists/roles

thank you so very much

making this a MBF that requires logic where every other answer choice is a CBT is really the cherry on top of a shit sandwhich thanks lsat writers

Can someone explain what the first sentence means because my brain is just not getting it

I'm reading it as 'the interest rate for a bank to borrow money has to be higher than the interest rate it gets from loaning money to a large company."

#help

BUT that contradicts with ac A and Im so over it help please

i will risk it too... for the sake of science

does anyone know where the lesson on how to identify between necessary assumption questions and sufficient assumption questions

the prep getting to me bc I was laughing way too hard at all the sass

I was distraught after taking PT76 and this helped alleviate some of that thank you

Is there a stronger reasoning why E is the incorrect AC

I was between C and E but chose E because I thought the critics concerns were dismissed because the author study was held in higher regard

Could the key word be that E said "authors study" when really they were not praising the authors study but the author themself, hence why C is the correct AC because it says 'focuses its attention on the study's author rather than on study itself

it took me so long to wrap my head around 'disagree' if it was in the sense of one of them agreeing and the other disagreeing to the statment, or the both of them disagreeing to a statement which would have meant that they agree that they each disagree and so I figured that disagree meant that one agrees and the other disagrees
