Though I do love the email notifications, is it possible to have the Disqus as well? The difference is minimal but it was easier to navigate back and forth through the website with the Disqus as opposed to opening to a new link. Nothing major, just another convenience if not too difficult to fix.

My knowledge is obviously lacking as I did not recognize the name Adam Smith. But typically, will the LSAT expect us to know who someone is?

For Question 8, I'm having a hard time eliminating D. Wouldn't lines 24-28 imply that rural art was non existent since during the Mao Revolution, the realist painters only focused on the positive. And their mentors would've preferred they'd ignore the rural aspects. What made Scar Art different was how it portrayed the rural and poverty. Help please!

My confusion with choice D, and the reason I chose C instead of it, was the jump from dangerous to premature death. A number of people who die early also do jumping jacks. Does that mean that jumping jacks are dangerous? The answer choice did not create a direct correlation between the premature death and the taking of aspirin, making it seem like two independent facts. Whereas C, as absurd of an argument as possible, connects the two and states that just because some people who don't drink herbal tea get remission, doesn't make it the cause. It was a weak answer in my mind, but I still don't see how D mirrors the stimulus better than C when there was no explicit connection between the two phenomenon like the stimulus states. There are a few people who foresee the future in dreams, but don't take that to be the norm. There are some people in remission from lack of herbal tea, but don't assume that to be the norm. Aspirin just comes out at me as random fact, like jumping jacks. I see why C is wrong, but I don't find another answer choice more correct.

Wouldn't the premise of A be saying that regardless of us you should disarm? Since we can make the same argument, we're saying don't throw it back on us. You yourself should disarm to show your good intentions. That fact remains regardless of our actions. Did I read too much into it?

I thought the answer to this was D. Your reasoning behind it not being D was the emphasis on the word "today". Wouldn't it be a fair assumption that the timeline of the word today in both the stimulus and in choice D is the same timeline? Therefore those animals that were obtained TODAY were in captivity. Which is exactly what D states. Unless you make the distinction between "Nearly all" and "Most", the only reason that D can be incorrect is your subtle mention of "all animals". Help please JY!! (Or anyone else :) )

Same question as grauplus. I plan on dedicating a significant of time but I work and am aiming for a 170+. Is this too much to assume to achieve by the October deadline?

Always read the questions guys...most frustrating way to get questions wrong...

What confused me here, and what I still don't understand, is the word significantly for A. Let's say some of the workers are not paid significantly more than minimum wage, they might still be paid more than minimum wage. And that number may still be higher than the 5% increase. Who knows? My problem with A is that it still leads you to make further assumptions before reaching the conclusion. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something...any help would be really appreciated!

I included the possibility of a tie when I was doing this question, therefore I chose A. Just because when Jennifer is not playing they lose does not mean when she is they'll win. Perhaps they will tie...

JY, the LSAT test makers better not ever meet you. They'd lock you away for being too clear.

I misread D and assumed it meant anything as far from earth as quasars that appear to earth. so my logic was AFA ->BSR ->/100 which means that anything as far away as the quasar that appears from Earth cannot exist for more than 100 million years.

Just keep practicing. If you aren't in a desperate need to go to law school next year, then hold off and take the test in June. It's amazing what an extra month can do for you, let alone six. Especially if you work full time.

Good Luck!

This question was tricky for me because I thought C went in contradiction with the premise. The premise says that they were treated for similar illnesses in both hospitals then the answer choice says that the patients are often treated for different illnesses.I guess we then have to assume the study of similar cases is a small percentage and not representative of the hospitals treatment as a whole.

I did make that mistake and equate the two pasteurizations...

If they didn't find Samantha's fingerprints it does not exonerate her. It makes it more likely that she was the murdered. The stimulus says that if Samantha was the murderer, she would not have left behind any of her foot or fingerprints. There were no footprints, so clause #1 checked off. If it's true that the fingerprints also aren't hers, it's very possible she's the killer.

I understand why C needs to be assumed, but I don't get why E is incorrect. If anything, it furthers the claim Samantha is a prime suspect. Anyone?

I don't understand why B is correct. I chose C because the conclusion states that having only a few parts gives no survival advantage. Therefore, you need all parts in oder for any to give you an advantage. The reason Jon gives as to why E is incorrect could also be applied for B in my opinion. You could propel the bacteria by ways other than swimming; we're just discussing the bacteria getting propelled. Therefore I don't see why it needed to have helped it swim. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

The reason I chose C is because the stimulus says that environmentalism is not in reality politically orthodox. With that being the case, Winslow's reason for them constantly putting anti-enviormentalist articles is not challenging the politically orthodox. Therefore it is not consonant with the frequency. If environmentalism was in fact a political orthodox view, then it would be consistent. However, since the stimulus says that the charge is inaccurate, it cannot be the reason. Help please!

Thanks guys! I have bought 7sage and love it. I was just hoping to balance my time between taking practice tests and doing logic game drills. Guess that won't be an option.

I think this is what your looking for. Good luck!

ajd0008, as long as you prepare the rest of your application and have it ready to go by the time you get your December score, you should be fine. It becomes problematic if you wait until late January-Febrauary. But First week of January is still fine for enrollment. As for highest score vs averaged, you gotta look it up for each school. A lot of schools now do High score, but a bunch of T14 still do average so be careful. Either way, we're gonna crush this test!

Just because the answering machine has one particular feature does not mean that voicemail is no longer flexible, convenient, and cheap. This feature could be really expensive, difficult, and rigid (not sure how an answering machine can be rigid, but not the point) but maybe people want this feature so badly that they'll forgo the 3 positives for voicemails. By stating the answering machine has a feature that the voicemail does not, it weakens the conclusion that answering machines are completely irrelevant and obsolete.

Hope this helps! Good Luck!
