I seem to remember JY saying in one of his videos that passages with 2 parts in RC (usually labeled part A and B ) are no longer common on the LSAT. Am I remembering this correctly?

One way to look would be going into RC for problem sets, go to the later tests and look at what kind they are. If it says "co" that means it's a comparative passage.
Thanks, it seems like it's in all the most recent ones.
I'm 30, working full time and studying for the LSAT. Stopping saying you're too old for this! We're not old lol.

So do you still have questions about this? Your post is kind of unclear...
I mean not really I guess. Just going through my reasoning about what I think I got wrong. Does the reasoning seem right to you?--That's really what I'm checking for.
So I picked A in both the first run and the blind review. I'm thinking the reason it's wrong is that the action did not cause harm and the prompt explicitly states morally bad actions cause harm. I considered E in the blind review but ruled it out because I wanted to be right about A and thought he could not have foreseen the kid being hit by a bike. But of course, when you're watching a kid that's why you want to keep them out of the street--so they don't get hit by anything.
I improved my score 20 points from my first diagnostic. Mind you, I still fluctuate in a range of about 5 points, but I believe this test is learnable. There was a great encouragement thread a couple days ago with someone who started out in the 140s and broke 170 on test day. It's doable, you just can't fall into despair and give up. This is what I tell myself anyway.
If it were strictly innate, we'd all be very stupid to subscribe to 7sage.
OP did the same "hack" I did. Log in to ProctorU early and select forgot password. Everyone else should see the email now in their inbox from LSAC.

What if you did not receive an email yet?
You should have the email. If you don't, go to proctor U and click forgot password. If you're not in the system, you won't receive an email to reset it in which case you'll need to contact LSAC. There may be something wrong with your registration.

I'm not sure that I understand why C is right and E is not. It seems to me even though E is not a "good" answer because consultants advice only didn't lead to good outcomes "at first," but it's still a negative outcome based on their advice.
I can reason out C being correct by countering Mr. Blatt's claim that expert consultants make "better decisions." It just seems off to me because it reads as the consultants' own firm, not an independent business they are giving advice to.
Can anyone give stronger reasons?
That is a neat hard and fast rule, both question types depend on a link between the the premises and conclusion. I think you're better off keeping an eye out for synonyms that means "need" to spot Necessary Assumption questions and synonyms of "is properly drawn" for Sufficient Assumption questions. This would catch that your example to be identified as SA through "justify" without trying to intuit "conclusion."

There have been comparative passages on every test since 52, I believe.
Thank you
