Hi everyone - I'm looking for a tutor for the Nov. LSAT. I got a 165 on the September test and a 170 on my most recent PT and am really hoping for at least a 172 in November, so I'd like to work with someone who can help me iron out those final questions that I'm getting wrong.

I'd really like to work with someone who is actively engaged in my questions and can help me spot the common errors I'm making, especially with LR. My time zone is EST.

Thank you so much!

I did this untimed (I think I would've ran out of time otherwise) but I'm putting the logic chain I drew out here in case it helps anyone out, especially because I struggle a lot with these question types:

SC quorum -> GA begins @ 6PM

AC quorum -> GA begins @ 7PM

I then got stuck but realized that with these two chains, I could make these two using the contrapositives:

SC quorum -> GA begins @ 6PM -> GA does NOT begin at @ 7PM -> no AC quorum

or

AC quorum -> GA begins @ 7PM -> GA does NOT begin at @ 6PM -> no SC quorum

To simplify:

SC quorum -> no AC quorum

AC quorum -> no SC quorum

This leads us to answer choice E. All the other answer choices follow the wrong path of reasoning/conclude a sufficient condition.

I'm reading a lot of comments saying "well why are we assuming the SC quorum needs to last more than an hour, can't there be both in one day, etc etc" and the thing is that it doesn't really matter what we would need to assume here. According to the logic, everything except for E is incorrect/cannot be concluded.
