I think this sentence:

"An employer should therefore engage the employee in a nonthreatening dialogue that emphasizes the positive contributions of the employee to the development of such ideas."

is actually the conclusion.

"Then the ideas employers want to try will be implemented more quickly and effectively."

This sentence provides a reason why an employer should take the recommended course of action. Therefore, it is a premise.

The recommended course of action, engaging the employee in a nonthreatening dialogue, would be the conclusion.

Is there something I'm not seeing?

I love the illustrations in this video. Definitely in JY's top 10.

Q#6 is the only one I got wrong, and, after reading the comments below, it seems I am not alone in thinking that this question was worded sloppily. I remember JY saying in multiple videos that more recent iterations of the LSAT have done away with such ambiguous semantics, so would I be correct in taking solace from that?

I have a problem with question 8. I got the question right because the other ACs were more blatantly incorrect, but the right answer "A" seems to rely on the assumption that there were no other courts in which the lawyers could have participated. What if all lawyers who did not practice in both civil and criminal courts but just one of them also practiced in another court as well?

I would appreciate if someone pointed out where my logic is flawed (if it is) and what I'm missing.

What does "out-of-province expenditure" exactly mean?

I got this question right, but I spent too much time on it. I've found that with the two-passage MSS questions I've encountered so far, you can just read the passage the question stem asks you about and ignore the other passage.

Is this the case for all two-passage MSS questions?

Time seems to be my greatest impediment, so any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Oh my god @ thank you so much! I think I will implement your recommended strategy from this week forward. You truly are a good Samaritan.

How I scored a 180 (PT 44) and a 179 (PT 45)

Making this post because JY and Bojack prompted me to (haha)

I wish I could post a screenshot of my analytics here; they paint a better picture of my progress.

Long story short, I've been prepping on and off since September last year. I truly believe that, unless you're a freak of logic and are just genetically predisposed to the sort of thinking required for this exam, you need to be prepared to grind it out for the long haul. Taking breaks (even month-long ones) is perfectly okay so long as you recognize that you'll have to build yourself back up again after a lengthy one (it's just like building strength & muscle in the gym).

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Honestly, I feel like I still have a long way to go. When you get a 180 on a PT here, JY sends you a message where Bojack tells you that you have no more room to improve, but I don't think that's the case. I can still improve on time, and I really need to have no room for error if I am to achieve my goal of getting a 178+ (preferably a 180) on the October LSAT.

So don't take my words as gospel haha. I'm definitely not an LSAT god or anything yet.

Safe travels everyone.

P.S. I'm actually wondering whether I should just skip to later PTs (I've been taking PTs one by one in order), and I'm also wondering how much PTs in the 40s differ from PTs in the 90s. Can someone with experience help me out here? I don't think I can take the rest of the PTs (46 - 93) by October 14, so I'm wondering how I should tackle them by that time.

I did get this question right, but there was a thought in the back of my mind as I picked B: what if everyone consumed mercury in Beethoven's time because they all had venereal disease?

Ok, so I thought that B and D were necessary assumptions as well until I realized that treating them as NA would require us to assume that the humans monitoring the apes cannot monitor the apes' thoughts in any way. Who knows? Maybe they can. The passage never said anything about hearing the apes speak philosophical thoughts, the premise states that the apes never used human language to ask philosophical questions period. Why would I assume that that statement doesn't extend into the realm of the apes' thoughts?

Regarding Q15, I didn't choose A because, the way I saw it, there were two main criticisms of Ellison's work: that he didn't focus enough on creating social and political change through his works and that he didn't contribute enough to the development of a distinctly African American novelistic style. While A addresses the first issue, I don't see how it addresses the second.

Is A the right answer because it at least addresses one of the issues while the other answer choices don't address any of them?

Are you sure?
