Hey! I'm definitely interested. I'm about to jump back into LSAT studying and need to full-proof the games again. I'm currently in Istanbul so during the week I'm available 6am to 10am and on the weekends 6am to 3pm ET.
My issue with Answer choice A is that if it were true and explained why S outsold M wouldn’t we then expect for it to have outsold more than just slightly? But I was taking this to the extreme. It does not have to be the case that all of the customers bypass the display case.
What if your computer sound was set on mute? Do you think they would have then stopped the clock and interrupted the exam to get your attention?
Also, so sorry this happened to you.
The only difference in language between answer choice A and C is “only” before “if” in answer choice A. But, this completely changes the meaning of the answer choice. As a reminder (just in case):
Only if = Necessary condition indicator
If= Sufficient condition indicator
As JY mentioned, answer choice A has the conditions flipped. A states: We should adopt (government intervention) → (only if) the government measure is required. But the argument’s conclusion is that we should adopt. So in order to bridge/strengthen the argument we want to identify the AC that states:
premise → conclusion (which is adopt the measure).
But instead AC A says: adopt the measure (conclusion) —> premise
Also, what makes the answer choices a bit tough is the referential phrasing. So it’s important to recognize that the government intervention is a necessary condition to solving homelessness. Solve homelessness → need government intervention. (Again “only if introducers the necessary condition). So both A and C correctly identify that the government intervention is a necessary condition to solving the problem of homelessness, but the bridge A is building is in the wrong direction.
Argument structure
(Premise) To solve homelessness → need Governement intervention → requires increase tax
(Conclusion) Therefore, we should raise taxes (Aka adopt the measure/government intervention)
This is the same Structure as
(Premise) A → B → C
(Conclusion) C
For the above example, the incorrect PSA/strengthen answer choice would be C → A. That’s bad conditional reasoning (reversal). Answer choice A does just this. The correct Answer choice would be A (or B) →C.
I hope this helps. Let me know if there’s anything I could make clearer or if my explanation is way off.
Interested
Interested! I'm from NYC
Is there a way we can sort problem sets by date completed?
Is there a way to add a notes section for the BR portion of PTs? I'd love to type up my thoughts during BR directly into a notes section as I BR the digital PT.
@goswamid1301 I read you comment and thought oh no today's Wednesday?!?
But it's only Tuesday :)
Alan thanks for the amazing features and updates!
Is there a way to create and save a drill without starting the problem set? Right now I have to start the drill and then close it out in order to save it. This was working until I realized my timing breakdown in LG sets isnt accurate since my setup time is now included in the first question.
This is amazing, thank you so much! I’m having trouble figuring out how to access a single section When I go to a PT in my course syllabus and click on digital tester I don’t see an option to take just a section.
An explanation of how to navigate to a single section in the digital tester would be super appreciated. Thank you!
Thanks for a great session everyone!
1: Other People's Argument
2: Author's counter-argument w/ brief examples (support)
3: Author's counter (OPA relies on assumption)
4: Author concession to OPA
5: Author draws distinction
@28077 gotcha! I hope Saturday goes well.
Are folks in the group taking in March or most likely in the summer/fall? I feel like July is so far away (probably since it's about -5 degrees right now) but then also right around the corner!
Hey! I'm in New York and might be able to join down the line. Do you guys pick which PT to review as you meet or is there a tentative schedule?
I'm registered for July and my plan is to take a PT every ten days or so starting at PT65 this upcoming week.
Thanks for last nights session!
For a podcast topic I am interested in: how to craft a Diversity Statement that compliments your personal statement but avoids being redundant.
I love this! I'm thinking I'll add watching this to my morning routine :smile:
I'm curious if anyone has taken the test at Fordham law before, and if so which room did they test in?
I chose to register at Fordham for the following reasons: it's a new building with sound proof windows, convenient location (for me), and I have access to the building to prep test there.
Hey! If you have the resources I would apply to any of the T14 that you have an interest in. URM cycles are wildly unpredictable, so you should shoot your shot :smile:. Powerscore released this article last year on URM stats and admissions. I hope you find it helpful

JY refers to the other half not being considered as the “incompetence” bit. But I would also add that the answer choice excludes the first premise regarding being too trendy to be authentic.
I'm scoring a 172 on the April 2022 LSAT!!!
