Feels like a massive assumption that this was "overspending" or a negative consequence. It doesn't infer that at all. How are we supposed to know that? Couldn't spending and more taxation = more infrastructure? And that's good? Don't get why that's an appropriate assumption for this question, and one that's necessary to see the right answer.

Hello,

I recently took the April LSAT and scored signfiicantly lower than I did on practice tests. I was averaging 168-173 on a number of PTs, but scored a 158 on the real thing!! I didn't buy Score Preview so am stuck with that score.

I've started studying again and have taken two tests - I got a 175 on one and a 171 on the other. My GPA was a 3.80 in college.

In short I'm wondering if my 158 will ruin any chance that I get accepted into a T14. I know they report the top score, but this is a pretty glaring result, does anyone have any insights here?

Does 21 feel a little sketchy to anyone or is that just me? Saying that they're "targeting" more semiconductors seems verrry different than "peptides have actually bonded with other semiconductors." What is about with LSAT 89?? Seems like it relies on a lot more assumptions.

Not only is this a stereotypical assumption, but it requires an incredible leap of logic that is prevalent in a lot of "bait" answer choices. There's no way to think "strengthen shouldn't require abnormal assumptions, but oh yeah, I'll make this GIANT leap assumption here." Terrible question and it's honestly shocking from both a logical and cultural perspective that it got published on this recent of a test.

Anyone know if they corrected this or admitted it's just logically flawed?
