interested as well

I applied April 22 at 1am EST and had my approval by 10am. I got an email with the subject "Accommodation Letter Generated" that directed me to log into my LSAC account. When I logged into my account, on my home page there was a new section titled "AUTOMATIC TESTING ACCOMMODATION APPROVAL BASED ON PRIOR RECEIPT OF LSAT ACCOMMODATIONS," but it didn't explicitly discuss my approval, so I was confused lol. Then I looked scrolled down to where it says "LSAT Registrations" and clicked on "View LSAT Registration & Statuses," and there it showed me that I was approved.

I think PT 47 section 3 question 19 has a similar structure to this question

to negate a conditional you simply show that you can have the sufficient without the necessary ever occurring. if you're given A --> B, then to negate you say A and ~B. in terms of conditional language in the stimulus, there are times when the stimulus will be so short/simple that the correct answer is both a NA AND a SA, so your approach may be correct sometimes (the same does not hold for SA questions). in those cases, look for dangling variables, aka variables that show up in the premises/conclusion that were not mentioned elsewhere in the stimulus (here it pays to know when terms are actually synonymous or when they're secretly completely different ideas). usually the correct answer will be a conditional using those variables. hopefully that helps!

i am J.Y. reincarnate

as everyone above said, to weaken you need to identify the assumptions the argument makes. when looking at the AC, i would say to myself, "the conclusion is wrong, because ..." and then fill in the gap with the AC. maybe if you try framing weaken questions in your mind as just the reverse of strengthen questions, remembering that you do well with strengthen questions, you can trick your mind into thinking you know exactly how to attack weaken questions. it could totally be a mental block that messes you up on weaken questions because you know you've struggled with it in the past. instead, approach it with confidence. if you need to skip, skip it and come back to it at the end.

does the logic for why B is correct still work even if we assume that both sewage environments contained antibiotics in them?

if neither environment naturally contained antibiotics then of course it would seem like the bacteria that are resistant developed it from something else within the sewage. but if we assume that sewage naturally contains antibiotics in it, and the only difference is whether or not there are heavy metals in the sewage, then it would seem like if bacteria do develop either resistance to both heavy metals and antibiotics or just one, that the heavy metals play some role in their resistance.

i'm in the exact same boat taking June exam, have ADHD, PTing in the high 160s, looking to take 1-3 prep tests a week :) would love to join!

i second everything @ said. paraphrasing as you go and then actively pushing back things you just read that may sound similar/like it expands on/ties into something you may have previously read in another paragraph makes a world of a difference in terms of understanding the passage. i don't even write paragraph summaries down, pushing everything back/together in my head as i read is sufficient to help me answer the questions (usually) without looking back to the passage!

i was so close to choosing A then talked myself out of it because I didn't take "no one" intervening to equal "resource managers" not intervening

I highly recommend withdrawing from the November test and not taking the test until you feel ready. I took a"practice" LSAT aka the June test and now regret it because it counts towards my 5 tests that can be taken over 5 years. It's not worth wasting a test like that. Just get through the curriculum and take practice tests until you're consistently scoring where you want. Of course, all of that changes if you have already taken a diagnostic test and scored exactly where you want to be. If that's the case, then just take a few PTs a week until November, and hope you get lucky.

Hi! I saw that you said you have accommodations due to your anxiety disorder—would you mind sharing with me what the process/price was for getting accommodations?

I'm getting a 175 on the September 2022 LSAT!

I would personally say 85/86 are fairly difficult and similar to recent exams, more so than 88/89 (from my experience). PT 76 was also fairly difficult with some interesting LR questions.

yes please!

@ Thank you! I do see how it's a distinction made in A, but how does it factor into Passage B?

i picked up on the assumption and tried to find it but all the AC confused me :')

sad i knew what imperturbable meant but couldn't understand what acute meant in this context

i think the best advice for anyone is learning all the material first, then taking untimed sections and/or full tests until you really understand every question you encounter, then focus on getting the timing down. i wouldn't recommend drilling until you've gone through enough questions to see what specifically you need to focus on

also have a 3low GPA aiming for a 17high score but set to take my first LSAT in june then august if needed. interested!

the flaw here seems similar to PT 51.1.10 about comparing two things without establishing that one is better than the other.
