PT 59 Section 2 (LR1)

Could somebody explain to me why the correct answers are correct for questions 7, 18, and 25?

Why is 7 (e) instead of (b), why is 18 (d) instead of (c), and why is 25 (b) ?

Appreciate any help, thanks

I can’t remember specific questions for each of the sections but if you guys know maybe how many questions total the test was i can figure it out.

I average between 20-23 correct on LR and am trying to get my games back to the 21-23 correct I was averaging before. The section I have the most trouble in is RC which on bad tests ill only get about 16-18 correct.

Which Course to take

Hello, I am currently registered for the September 2019 LSAT and was wondering which course would be recommended. I took the Sept. 2018 LSAT and scored a 164, and am currently testing in the mid to high 160s. However, I am trying to lock in a score above 170. Do you guys recommend one course over the other or anything specific that I should be doing to get my score into that range? Appreciate any help in can get.

Question 19: lines 19-21"Physicists can monitor the radiation coming from a blackbody object and be confident they are observing its thermal radiation and not simply its reflected radiation." So how is it that (a) is the correct choice if the answer is saying that it is difficult to distinguish?

I can see how the other choices are incorrect now, however, (a) seems like it is contrary to what is actually said.

For question 5 i originally chose (c) as the answer, during BR though I switched it to (b) because of the line "but if a jury is to be truly impartial" which i interpreted as minimizing biases. can someone explain exactly why b would not work

Custom Problem Sets

Is there a way to create a problem set based on a specific type of RC question? Based on my trends I need to work on meaning of phrase in context and application of hypothetical situations. Is it possible to create questions sets with that filter or are RC problem sets simply based on full passages.

For #16 could someone explain a little further why A is incorrect. I was between A & E and ended up taking A because I felt like it more accurately described the meaning of "segregation of the arts"

Question #10: I feel like the best sign that the correct answer is A is on lines 9-10 where it says "Curie was able to isolate a pair of PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN elements." not so much that she was hypothesizing about it. Those two words, "previously unknown" led me to choose the correct answer.

Waitlist Essay

Hello everyone,

So I applied Early Decision Round 2 to UPenn and was put on the waitlist. In the email response from the university they say that they recommend submitting any additional information such as an updated resume, an additional 2 page essay on a topic of your choice, and any additional letters of rec. My question is regarding the additional essay, are they looking for a LOCI? Or are they looking for an additional essay, something similar to a personal statement, in addition to a LOCI? If so, what are some good ideas for the extra essay? Any topics I should try and focus on or some that I should stray away from?

Any suggestions or comments are much appreciated!
