Would it be too much of an unwarranted assumption for me to think that animals not living in Athens does nothing to the argument? For example, animals passed through Athens, carrying with them the virus...

Too far?

The LSAT expects students to employ common knowledge while answering its questions...common knowledge being things such as Canada is in North America and carnivores eat meat. Is it not also common knowledge on a worldwide scale that cooking vegetables, including carrots, vastly diminishes their nutrients/vitamin content? For example, cooking certain vegetables reduces their vitamin contents by at least 30%! I had assumed that this was in fact common knowledge, which would render answer choice C a resolution to the problem of increased consumption of carrots coinciding with increased cases of vitamin A deficiency. If many more people were cooking carrots in newly-popularized dishes, then many more people would be eating carrots in a vitamin-deficient form (cooked).

Thanks in advance for any responses!

Building RC Confidence

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had good suggestions for building RC confidence with regards to specific passage topics? I was a Humanities major in college and I tend to do pretty okay on RC passages that are about art/history/diversity (-1 or -2 per passage on average). But whenever I encounter passages about science (any and all kinds of science...) or really jargon-y law stuff, I perform very inconsistently, at times even getting most questions wrong. I think a lot of it has to do with just not feeling confident about these topics. So I've tried to read academic science journals from which the LSAT passages were taken, but I found them to be rather overwhelming.

Thank you for your time in advance and I would appreciate any suggestions!

Benefit me to take PT 75/76 today (12/3) ? ? ?

Not to sure how to be spending the last day of studying. I haven't taken PT 75 or 76 yet. I don't know how I reasoned this earlier, but I was hoping to "save up" for one of em and PT after I had the most knowledge/ability I could possibly have in order to get the most accurate reading of what the actual test and my score is going to be like. Obvious mistake. So should I spend all day going over wrong questions, difficult question types, or go ahead and PT 75 or 76? I just don't know how much it'd benefit me, if at all. Most likely taking Friday off...

Thanks in advance!

Lawgic: Group 4 indicator and double negative (or not)

Hi, I was making up statements to practice and I'm confused about how "no" works when there is a double negative (or what I think is double negative). The statement reads: "No one who fails to come to the party is David."

Based on JY's lesson, we isolate "no" as a Group 4 Necessary Condition indicator. The first idea is "Fail to Come to the Party" (FTCTP) and the second idea is "David" (D). So, I pick either of the two ideas, negate it, and make it a necessary condition. I chose the first idea.

D --> /FTCTP

which, I think, can be rewritten as D --> CTP since "Not Fail to Come to the Party" is essentially "Come To the Party"

Is this lawgic accurate? Some of my friends are suggesting that because of the "fail to", the correct lawgic would be: CTP --> D

and now im confused :(

thanks in advance for your input!
