They are only saying "try to be more accommodating"?

Since we now have to take LSAT online, why can't we have the same number of test dates as North America? Does anyone know if we can register for Nov from Asia?

I would be grateful to have access to the property law course too. Thanks to the generous 7sager.

Congratulations! Very happy for you. :smile:

Congrats! That's an awesome score!

I have reservations about saying D would become a correct AC if it were reversed. I agree it would become a closer AC than D in its current form.

AC D reversed: incompetent or recordings sell well → not successful

The critic's conclusion in the stimulus is only that selling well is not a marker of success (because it might not be authentic underground).

Reversed D goes beyond this and says that if it sells well, it is not successful (even if it is an authentic underground and not a pop trend).

B is better at helping the argument as it helps to bridge between authenticity and success of underground.

Congratulations!!! Whatever your decision is regarding the retake, it is already an amazing achievement. Thank you so much for all your helpful comments and contributions on 7sage.

Hi. There are two issues here.

One: Form 6 is

A → B, A → C therefore, B some C.

https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/valid-argument-form-6-of-9/

You wrote A → B, B → C. That would be more like form 3.

Two: With form 6, it is true that we could supply /H → P or /P →H as the answer choice.

But you can't substitute a Some statement when you need a conditional statement. You are thinking of it as Some implying All rather than All implying Some.

https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/advanced-all-implies-most-implies-some/

What you are suggesting to supply (/P some H) is this: /C some /A.

Premise: A → B or /B → /A

/C some /A

Try chaining it up.

Premise: /H → /W or W → H

Answer choice: /P some H

when you link it up: W → H some /P

As you can see, it would be invalid to conclude a relationship between W and /P.

https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/invalid-argument-form-3-of-7/

Valid Argument Form 6

Premise: /H → /W

Sufficient assumption answer choice: /H → P or /P → H

Conclusion: P ←s→ /W

Valid Argument Form 4/7

Premise: /H → /W

Sufficient assumption answer choice: /H some P

Conclusion: P ←s→ /W

I really hope this helps.

It says in the Candidate Agreement,

"You may not bring into the test center or use any of the following: books, dictionaries, papers of any kind, rulers, mechanical pencils, mechanical erasers or erasers with sleeves, ink pens or felt-tip markers, briefcases, handbags, backpacks of any kind, or earplugs. Hats/hoods (except religious apparel) may not be worn on the head."

Hmm. Same here. @ElaineWang

Hi.

I think what you are saying is to use form 6 to supply the additional premise like this.

Premise: /H → /W

Hypothetical AC: /H → P or /P → H

Conclusion: P ←s→ /W

This would work if any of the answer choices said /H → P or /P → H.

But you should remember that in form 6, the premises do not include "some" relationships. You conclude the "some" relationship from two conditional statements in form 6. This is why you cannot use AC A to get to the conclusion here.

Premise: /H → /W or W → H

AC A: /P ←s→ H or H ←s→ /P

No valid conclusion.

Are you referring to PT questions in the Discussion Forum or in the Syllabus? I am not quite sure which you are referring to.

For PT questions in the Forum, there is a formatting guideline here.

https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/15/forum-rules

So you can use PT, Section and Question number in the search bar to find the discussion if there is one.

Under individual explanation videos, users can use the (#help) in their questions to get help from other 7sagers. These tagged questions appear on this page.

https://classic.7sage.com/recent-questions/

Sometimes the questions don't get a response because others may not have taken the PT and want to keep them fresh.

You can use the Question Bank to access specific questions and their explanations quickly.

@alan-91620 Please don't get rid of the PDF options yet. At least some international tests are not going digital yet this year.

This is the response from LSAC, "Thank you for writing. The October 2019 LSAT in Asia will be paper-based, as the LSAT will be fully Digital starting in September at test centers only in North America. You may complete your October registration at this time, and please let us know if you have any additional questions."

This is so cool!!!

I'd love ankle socks version too!!!

A small white cuff would be cool too.

Ok, so what?

Who cares?

Rooting for these.

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 @kingse414 and @476

Congratulations!!! So happy to see you made it!

Awesome!!! Congrats!!!

There are no differences. And international LSAT tests are undisclosed. So there is no way you can legally obtain those tests.

And you can still learn a lot from retaking Preptests, although the score itself would be inflated. You would be surprised at how many times you can repeat mistakes.

Hey. I plan on taking it in Singapore on Oct 13 as well. But I don't live in Sg.

Saw your other comment: the time is at 08:30am. I wrote to LSAC and they confirmed it is paper based.

I believe you are looking for this lesson?

There is now a computer-delivered IELTS as well in some locations.

https://takeielts.britishcouncil.org/take-ielts/book/paper-computer

The passage explicitly used the word "opposite" in line 18, that the requirements by Revolutionary Realism constricting artistic expression (i.e. forbidding nonsocial, nonpolitical subjects) has had the opposite effect; different artistic movements reacted to the monotony (i.e. to portray Chinese society as outstanding or perfect) in different ways.

The Scar Art is in opposition to Revolutionary Realism by portraying the darker realities instead of the government sanctioned reality of perfection (line 54 uses "ideological rigidity" to refer to this).

The Native Soil movement is in opposition to Revolutionary Realism by painting nonpolitical mundane things like traditional peasant life. Revolutionary Realism forbid such nonpolitical subjects (line 10-15).

The movement that was "increasingly co-opted for political purposes" was the Scar Art movement, not the Native Soil movement. You said we know for a fact that the Native Soil movement was "political". Can you point to support for this in the passage?

"in several years" in this context means in the long run after the first few years. E is only saying there were no returns in the first few years in those other cities. So what? We know those cities earned large returns after those first few years. So E doesn't do anything to the argument at all.

You don't need to add assumptions to B for it to weaken the argument. Just offering the idea that the columnist's city is different from the other cities we are using as support already gives us reason to doubt that we will have similar returns like those cities. Introducing that small doubt, no matter how small, is enough in many weakening answer choices. Of course, as you said, even with B, it may turn out that the columnist's city earns even bigger returns because the city is smaller. But we don't need to think about the potential counterarguments to B.

Think about a similar argument:

"Alan got into Yale Law School with LSAT score of 170. Rebecca also got 170. She will likely get into Yale Law School."

"Yes, but Alan is a Nobel prize winner and Rebecca is not."

Here, we point out one of the differences between Alan and Rebecca. Would you agree this weakens the original argument somewhat?

Of course, this response doesn't totally eliminate the possibility of Rebecca ever getting into YLS. For all we know, Rebecca herself could be an Olympic medalist or a Rhodes Scholar. You can counter by saying these. Point is, we already weakened the original argument by introducing a point of difference that makes us doubt Rebecca's chances are the same as Alan's. The potential follow-up arguments are irrelevant when we look for a weakening answer choice.

Hope this helps.

If you find the use of the word "because" in the same sentence confusing, omit it like this:

"Since the relatives would be particularly grieved, the financial saving involved in using ASA over TPA must also be weighed against such considerations."

I hope the structure becomes clearer to you this way.

Since Premise, Conclusion.

https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/advanced-for-since-because/

"Because" in this sentence is part of the modifier. What types of relatives are we talking about? Relatives of patients. All patients? No. Patients who die. All patients who die? No. Only the patients who die simply because they were given the less expensive medicine (ASA).

https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/grammar-subject-predicate-details/

Do not focus on individual words like ALSO. Focus on the structure.

In PT31 Section 2 Question 04, the sentence with "what must also be taken into account..." is a premise not because of the use of the word "ALSO". It is a premise because it is used to support the doctor's claim against the idea of any therapy being more effective than no therapy.
