The very first section for the November LSAT, an LR section, was discernibly more difficult than any other part of the test. I consciously noticed this, in retrospect, while making my way through the remaining three sections. I strongly suspect that the initial section was the unscored experimental one, and the remaining three sections were the scored part of the test.

If we phrase the negated condition as, “It is not the case that all dogs are friendly,” I’m unclear regarding why our inference from the negation is, “Some dogs are not friendly.” Why are we using the plural expressions of “some” and “dogs”? Isn’t the correct (or at least more accurate/incisive) inference of our negated expression simply, “At least one dog is not friendly”?
