Following, I'm having the same issues. For some reason I'm way better at strengthen than weaken questions and struggle a lot with RRE on the newer exams.

D: The more I look at this choice the worse it gets, it's so horribly horrible wrong. THe premise says "our country only has natural-gas pipelines near three of our large bodies of water" not the LARGEST bodies of water. There might be 1,000 other large bodies of water larger than this one in the country, all we know is that we have these three with the pipelines near them. We don't know if these are the largest bodies of water in the country or if they are! But we do know that these are the only ones with pipelines and that we cannot build a new station near them, so C becomes clearly correct: unless we build new pipelines near other large bodies of water, we cannot build a new station.

Interested!

It depends on how you think your test taking endurance is at this point. Tha actual test is going to have 4 sections, only 3 of which are scored. If you think you'll burn out then you have to practice for 4 since you won't know which is the unscored section.

I only just started PT'ing but I'm planning on doing a mix. I don't personally have an endurance issue and saving the second unscored section lets me use them for practice sets, but I don't want to get too comfortable with 3-section tests so that I am prepared for the real thing. Do what you think is best knowing yourself.

I've busted my ass for 6 months on this thing and tomorrow is game time. I haven't quite broken the 170 threshold yet (but a few 169's) and yet I know I can do it tomorrow. I have all the pieces, I've gotten -0/-1 on all three sections before, I just have to put it all together at once.

I am going to get a 170 on the August 2022 LSAT.

Interesting question here, in all my prep I think this is the first time I've seen this kind of flaw appear. Good to commit this one to memory just in case!

Hey! I would love to join!

much love to you (3 we all can do this!(/p)

Hypothetically I think yes (like others said depending on your diagnostic and goals), but you should be a little realistic about your weekly studying time. At least for me, I study about 20-25 hours a week and if I upped that to 30-40 I think I would have burned out by now. Mental health is important and can be hard to manage during the LSAT grind so make sure you're being kind to yourself and giving yourself a managable workload!

I interpreted A to mean that libraries were purchasing fewer books and made the assumption that those books would be coming from bookstores thereby hurting their profits. But this assumption makes no sense in hindsight; couldn't they have bought those books from publishers directly, or wholesale companies?

B makes more sense because the bookstores are unaffected. They are having as many shoplifers now as before the increase in shoplifting experienced by other retailers. Unaffected would not explain increased profits, if there were far fewer than before maybe that could explain instead.

I went with E because I interpreted the fact that consumers tend to buy store brand yogurt already as an explaination for why a new marketing campaign wouldn't yield a large increase in new store brand yogurt purchasers; they were already buying store brand yogurt and hence there was a small pool of potential new store brand yogurt buyers. I didn;t think carefully enough about the second part of the answer choice though and made the assumption they were baiting me towards.

Still struggling on this question type, hella frustrating!
