can you contrapositive a "most" or "some" statement? If this question is saying it without "most", E would be incorrect, because then it would not ignore that possbility, correct?

April is likely too late. Some schools that don’t have hard deadlines will still invite you to apply, but seats and scholarships are harder to come by that late in the cycle. You’ll have to wait a few weeks for the score so you’re looking at a late April application. If you don’t think you’ll be ready to test until March you could apply for the 2021 semester early and have multiple chances to take the LSAT after the March test. Ideally you want to apply with the best score you can get as early as you can.

I am taking the Lsat in Taiwan, so my options are a bit limited. I plan on taking it in Jan. However, If I don't do well, I'm thinking about re-taking it in March. What about a late Jan / early feb application?

yeah I think I finally fully understood what B is saying, and yeah its kind of just one of those fuck you answers, I'm learning to avoid answer choices that I just do not fully understand bc its probably the purpose of those answer choices to throw you off.

Thansk for such a detailed response!

Not sure if i fully understand what you mean by false conditionals. I was always taught that to translate if and only if as bi-conditional, but here it makes sense to translate not both into bi-conditional. My question is that in some questiions 7Sage translates not both into bi conditional, and in other questions he translate it as Not equal, as in they cannot appear together.

I'm just wondering when to translate it as bi conditional, and when to use A is not equal to B.

thanks for your reply bud

This is a good question, and I think writing the differences out to yourself on a word document would be helpful (that's what I did). The main way you can tell them apart is what element of the grouping game is "unbounded" -- so sometimes you might get the board itself (3 items per group), but the pieces can repeat. Or you might have 5 pieces, but the board itself is undetermined (this is usually with group 1 has more pieces than group 2, or other conditional rules). I try to identify that on my first read of the stimulus because I know that whatever is unbounded, whether it be the board or the pieces, is where the inferences are gonna come in.

This helps a lot, I did notice the only difference between grouping games and grouping games w/ a chart is the game pieces can repeat in w/ a chart, but in normal grouping games it always states " visits EXACTLY one of three..." or something like that.

Can you elaborate on "Or you might have 5 pieces, but the board itself is undetermined (this is usually with group 1 has more pieces than group 2, or other conditional rules). "

Do you just mean that instead of the game pieces repeating, it is the members of the game board repeating? So, as long as one party is allowed to repeat, it will be sub-categories?

Thanks in advance bud

Is it suffice to say if it's NOT the case that few ecological problems are managed by the gov, than the conclusion from the question should be most serious ecological will be solved unless ...#help

#help

someone save me from this torturous question please.

I am mainly struggling with understanding the explanation a little bit.

If I translate choice A as: few serious ecological problems → G, contrapositive would be NOT G → NOT few serious ecological problems. In other words, most serious ecological problems are G. But I am struggling to equate this to the first premise of SEP not G.

I understand the logical translation, but I do not see the relation between the translation and how it effects the conclusion here. I've never felt so lost.

Thanks for the reminder.

why is there a "some" relationship between vacation policy and salary? #help

I just would like to double check my logical process here if somebody can take a look.

the second conditional statement went like this for me:

nutrients are completely depleted → ( fert is NOT applied → crops CANNOT grow)

and I translated it to:

(nutrients are completely depleted) and (fert is NOT applied) → crops CANNOT grow

So i negate the necessary, and end up with this :

crops can grow → NOT ( nutrients are completely depleted AND Fertilizer is NOT applied)

because the crops did grow and fertilizer is NOT applied, as the question stated, and nutrients are completely depleted AND Fertilizer is NOT applied cannot both be true, so it must be the case that nutrients are NOT completely depleted. Which is answer C.

Is that the right logical process?

Thank you in advance for looking at this verbose bs lol.

#help I chose B lol i know it is wrong but may I get an explanation?

wow, that actually helped a lot. Instead of focusing on consistency, the key word here is actually support. Thanks for your time.

It's not like I got this question wrong, and I understand your point. I just have a hard time in keeping "common sense"(which are assumptions, becasue it's not written in the question.) away from the answer choice. But the more I re read this question, the more it's clear to me that D is just a superior answer. Thank you.

Thank you !

Definitely! Don't even worry about the essay and just try your best to improve on LR/LG/RC. Foolproof the games, do timed sections of LR and RC, Blind review effectively, and then also take timed sections. The essay can be put off for now.

Thank you for your time, Princess!

Hahaha! Now you can use the cursive for something else...idk writing cards? Probably like your signature haha... but yeah, the essay will typed. You can just go and type it after the test and it's open for up to a year after you take the test. It will still be proctored though, but at home. I'm not sure how that's going to be. I guess before I took the writing portion as "easy" thinking no one is really going to sit down and read messy writing for hours. With the typed essays, they may actually put more weight on it. :neutral: Let's see.

Haha it is still not good enough for cards, so I will save myself the embarassment. I think it makes a lot more sence for us to type it. Ever since my first paper, I have been trained to type it out.

I think I'm going to take the Sept. 2019 LSAT, so is it a good idea to stop studying for the essay? Since I am pretty confident about my writing abilites, or in this case, my typing ablilites.
