The question stem asked, which one of the following mot accurately states a CRITERION used to judge the credibility of MEMOIRS ONLY KONWN TO ITS AUTHOR.

B) Says that the depiction should contain demonstrable facial accuracies. However, only line 19 in the referenced 2nd paragraph (line 22) talks about facts and reliability of them. This is irrelevant the CRITERION, which is cited in line 27 "more subjective guidelines mud be used:" and the passage describes A in lines 30-31.

Hope this is clear. If not, ask me to clarify.

I earnestly enjoyed this video, from the begging. I was sitting on the edge of my chair, and in a single snap it was over. It was that good. I'm not afraid to say it-I collapsed into tears after the "last" sentence: "For those of you who share that, I've simply came to tell you to keep your eyes on the prize."

Thank for this JY, thank you.

Are you essentially saying that the arguments fails to consider that you can "retire" from a job, and still not be in the "retirement" portion of life, such as Ms. Chan?

Using up material

I know the prep test are limited and to be used wisely (i.e. blind review and review all wrong answers), yet I am still scared of the fact that I may use my last 50 prep test wrongly, and will never be able to increase my score again. I know I should get over that fact, and just keep practicing questions, games, and passages, but I just want to confirm that I am using my material wisely. I go over wrong questions and question I am short of 100% certainty with. Can someone please get my fear of using material to go away, or tell me how to correctly use the rest of my practice tests?

Please check if my understanding is correct; the great distinction that needs to be made in paragraph one is that some Latin works (particularly the science works of Newton for example) were left unexamined vs. Latin poetry and humanistic literature which was examined. On the other hand, modern non-latin English literature/works (i.e. the writers in the first sentence who wrote in English) was all examined well and commented on by these "learned students of Renaissance Latin?"

C is wrong because agricultural is equivocated with "forests" in kim's argument, and Hampton does not belief Kim's concern to be an issue due to technology. So, secondly Hampton does not agree with C.

D is wrong because in the next half century is too speculative to determine what both speakers believe of such time period. In fact, Hampton believes technology will solve all issues so would not agree with D (i.e. that human population growth will continue to erode wildlife habitats and diminish forests.

B is correct, because (obviously hampton agrees) and Kim's cause for concern is eliviated by B, making us reasonably believe she would agree with B.

I chose B, because I did not read for detail and missed that "labor-saving technology" is not the same as "technology" but rather just a subset. This makes B commit an unsupported generalization and is therefore wrong. C also says technology in a general sense though?

I need more supports! LSAT is truly mental fight. So important to have a good study partner having great motivation as well as determination. I am currently taking a break from work in order to fully focus on LSAT. I am taking a PT every the other day. Please contact me if you are down to crank it down PTs together :)

Yeah you are completely right! ^ I am lacking some underlying skills, so I take the back door approach per say and "eventually" can find my way to the correct answer, but I cannot do it well enough yet on sight or manipulate abstract logic on demand in my head that is. Its none of the techniques people mentioned, because I feel my technique is good (i.e. I read for structure, ). I don't have trouble understanding the author's logic/structure of argumentation, switching between questions, or understanding the question stem. However, the questions you posed opened my eyes to some underlying skills I do (emphasis added) need to work on. For instance, I get hung up by big vocabulary words, and grammar (though not as much thanks to the grammar lessons here), I may be a slow reader (started at 160WPM and brought it up to 250WPM with software-so again not as much), I do re-read often due to lost focus or vocabulary, and on the answer choices I do have difficulty making things more/less abstract and switching between the two.

So, now that you have shown me a handful of skill I consider (hyper-specific) weaknesses how can I both work on them without messing up test material and find all the other (hyper-specific) weaknesses I may have??

LSAT Mid-Life Crisis Please Advise! (RC/speed dilemma)

Hi all,

So I have been studying over 7 months for this darn exam, but I am still not reaching my potential despite significant gains! For instance, I blind review at a 169, but receive only about 50 correct under timed conditions. I leave 40-60 questions unanswered. I have seen dramatic increases in my LG after going through all of 7sage's LG lessons, so thanks a lot for that YJ! However, my LR and RC have remained stagnant and I feel I hit a hump here completing about 14-18 LR's/section and 13-14 RC's/section. I have faith that I can get over these humps, considering I have score perfect on all three sections before.

However, RC is my main problem right now, since it is difficult to cut problems, and do much more practice on apart from blind reviewing the passages in comparison to "the fool proof method to a perfect LG section method." After reading an RC book by manhattan and going up a handful of points to about 11 correct on RC, I have consistently scored 9-13 correct on this section without fail. This is sort of expected, because I don't really practice RC the way I do LG, as I don't drill RC at all besides in PTs' (I am scared to run out of RC passages for PTs' - stupid I know), but I also replaced them with Economist passage drills. In any case, Is their any suggestions for both RC and getting my speed up to a 160+ speed?

Thanks everyone!

Yeah I'd like to know of any free passages to practice Science "LSAT" reading on as well. I know the Times in which ever city your in offers free newspaper apps, with good LR practice in the Op-ed.

Yeah no problem!

I think the contrapositive is /[/e or /d-->/c]-->/[/b-->a]! However, the LSAT will not ask you to diagram such a complex conditional, so don't sweat this!

I'll give this a try

No a is b = a-->\b

C are both d and e = c-->d & e

So, a-->\b "until" c--> d & e = [a-->b] --> [c-->d & e]

Drill Logic Games hard, and maintain your scores in LR and RC for the next two months. Also, try taking 4 sections of LG with a break between 3/4 and then up it to 8 sections of LG with breaks between 3/4 and 6/7. It seems that doing this instead of 5 PT's a week is more effective. That's my 0.02 cents.

Is is because the "or" is inclusive in this case, and A) says that the "or" should be exclusive? ty!
