Here is an example using letters:

AAAAAAAAAA

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

.....................................CCCCCCCCCCCCC

All "A" is B. Most "B" is "C." There is not at least one (some) A that is a C. That is, there is no "A" that is "C." So, no valid inference can be made.

Can you see this okay?

It's the same for me whether from PPT, Word or online.

I figured it out. Thank you for your help.

@ I am not seeing that on my print settings. I know I can do it for PowerPoints but not documents. Any advice there?

More Than Two Questions Per Page?

Is there any way to alter the way that the printable problem sets display? At present, there are two questions per page. I would prefer more per page to reduce the amount of paper, though I am already printing double-sided.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Focus on understanding the stimulus. If you truly understand the stimulus, then you are much more likely to understand the assumption and the conclusion and all that jazz. You don't understand the stimulus.

I am using an LSAC-provided Microsoft Surface Go tablet for the Flex. LSAC said they will not provide a stylus with the tablet. I asked them if I could buy a stylus for the test that works with the surface tablet, they said they do not believe so. While I doubt they presented me with incorrect information, I am a bit confused because they provided the stylus with in-person digital tests. Why would LSAC not provide/allow Flex testers to utilize a stylus?

Has anyone used an LSAC-provided tablet and used a stylus? If so, how did it go? Or, if you used your fingers, how was it? Were you having to press twice or jumping to the wrong questions because the numbers are close together?

Any general advice or experience using an LSAC-provided MSG tablet would be much appreciated!

I am a huge advocate for the Loophole. But I will caution you: If you do not use the book properly and do not read it slowly and opt to read select chapters, the book will be incredibly useless. I firmly believe the individuals who say Cassidy's book did not help them were the ones who did not use it right. If you use that book right and do her basic translation drills for two straight weeks and understand her process, you will not go wrong. I was at -15 to start with LR. I am only halfway through her book, and I am down to -7. The second half is where, I believe, that -7 will really drop, for the second half of the book goes more into CLIR, powerful/provable, and wrong answer choices. But in order to have the second half be helpful, the first half of the book must be rock solid in your understanding.

I understand I am n=1, but with the dozens of students I have talked to who have struggled with the book, they struggle because they are not using it right. Cassidy is about process, so reading random chapters from her book is useless. She tells you this upfront in her book: Don't skip. Take it chapter by chapter.

Basic Translation skills is how you do it. I know you do not find Cassidy's book helpful, but it's the key. Translate. Translate. Translate. Do translations properly and incorporate her debrief. Slow and steady wins the race. Cracking the section does not exist. A systematic approach that readies you for the aggressive battle the LSAT will wage on you on test day is what will win. Translating will increase your score, if you do it right. Then the rest of the book works. But if you cannot translate, then you will not go anywhere.

After all, if you cannot understand the stimulus, you will most certainly not understand the answer choices. Translating aids in understanding. At -11, you do not understand some stimuli. Sometimes understanding simply comes through slowing down. Harsh, and I do not mean to come off as such. But I want you to understand the importance of the stimulus and understanding it in your own terms.

Proceed however you feel is best for you, but I would encourage to take another look at Cassidy's book. I hated translating at the start, but now, I blow through the answer choices. You got this!
