hey everyone, I'm taking the lsat for the first time the first weekend of feb and would love to hear any tips/advice people have for this period. with pts, i've gone from 162 to 174 and am aiming at at least a 176. should i be pting twice a week now? any specific things i should be doing? thanks in advance!
@J.Y.Ping ah ok. do you know if there's anything I can do on my end to help like clearing caches or something? it's really hard to read
@J.Y.Ping Thanks JY! I will wait on the fix. for the bullet, I just type '-' and add a space and it automatically turns itself into a bullet point
Is it just my notes or are everyone else's notes on questions getting messed up? I normally use a lot of bullet points and indentations when writing out thoughts for BR and WAJ, and they show while I'm typing, but after I click save, it just all blurs together. I'm really particular about being able to read things easily so this really sucks, and it was fine just yesterday. I went back and looked at my notes on older questions and they're all displaying like that now. If it's just me does anyone know how I can fix this? Sooner rather than later please
I'm confused on this one. The quote from Passage A which alludes to AC A is: "Impacts on wildlife have not been well studied, but serious reductions in waterfowl and aquatic furbearer productivity have been observed. In addition, several endangered species of vertebrates are threatened with further degradation of their breeding habitats."
However, neither of these two instances actually mean that a wildlife population is decreasing. A reduction in a population's productivity just doesn't imply a decrease in that population. Degradation of a breeding habitat may imply a decrease in that population, but I don't think strongly enough to definitively say that yes, those populations tend to decrease. I understand why all the other answers are wrong, but not why A is right. #help
I really don't understand how D is correct and E isn’t. This is a problem-analysis passage and the author does clearly have a perspective - they make a recommendation in the very final line. We are taught that where there is a recommendation from the author in a PA passage, that will be the main point. E is the only option that includes this recommendation in some sense. Yes, D isn’t as narrow, but it doesn't include this recommendation. Doesn't this mean that it can’t be the answer? #help
@MaxThompson This is what I worked out for A in case it will help anyone:
(A) The only considerations that bear upon the question of whether the mosaics should have been removed are archaeological.
Translation: removed - archeological
The stimulus doesn't say this. If anything, it would say archeological - /removed. Therefore, I thought that this is not the answer.
However, with PSA questions, we are just looking for a rule that will produce the result we want. Yes, this rule is too strong for the stimulus, but we still end up with the application that the mosaics SHOULDN'T be removed. The rule doesn't have to be precise because the question just says "most helps to justify", not "justifies" or "fully justifies".
Using Lawgic:
Translation: removed - archeological OR /archeological - /removed
Stimulus: archeological - /removed
The two rules, while different, produce the same result. This is the answer.
@J.Y.Ping thanks JY!
