I think this is because there is no other argument present in the passage that he is attacking. He is showing the argument only as a false dillema/dichotomy, because he is the only one speaking.
I agree with the sentiment of it being a "dumbass question". The worst part of the LSAT is the statement "most tends to ". It allows totally incomprehensible answers(that are easily disproven) to be correct. B got me because of the misread, but after the video C is clearly the only good answer.
lol, I thought laudable was a synonym of laughable. Hence, I chose A. Now it is I who is laudable
Each test varies on the number of sections, there will never be more than two RC though. I believe it is either 3 LR and 1 RC or 2 of each. When it comes to the prep test I would do the first two sections, take a ten minute break and then the last two sections because that is the test day format.
Hope this clears things up!
Hello everyone,
I just finished the CC and I am starting the process of consistent drilling and PT's. I have done 3 so far and I have only done cold starts. As a result I spend the first three to five minutes of every test staring at the very first question trying to figure out what the hell it says. Definitely time for a change. With that in mind, does anyone have preferred warm up routines that work for them? Any findings from your own studying on what is most effective for warm ups?
Please let me know!

Anybody have advice on warm up practices? I am not sure what the sweet spot looks like for the right amount. Any anecdotal best practices would be quite helpful.
Thanks!
If you consider the term principle, principle would be an underlying idea that applies to the situation. This was a directly stated claim about the consumption of the new iron-fortified salt. That's the way I thought of it, and I believe you are right to assume that it does not qualify as a principle.
The reddit page on the LSAT has some really good posts about strategies as well as encouraging words(It is reddit though so take that with a grain of salt). I found some great ones that really boosted my confidence, and one of the best posts I saw is that the test is a mental game, and a skills test. Going in most people are beginners at this kind of logic and reading, so the reality is you will most likely have to practice a TON if you want to hit the upper score ranges. Additionally, the realization that you can be a great lawyer even if you do not hit the upper ranges will take off the pressure to do well on the test. Being a lawyer is what we are chasing after all.

I have gotten the majority of the SA questions right but I am struggling with PSA, and from what I can tell, most "informal" logic. Would love to hear any tips that helped people better identify the informal answers
Very helpful. I love the way one word (techniques) can change the whole answer
D failed because it states there were reasonable grounds to believe that the computer had been used in their legit business. The principle/rule given has a much stronger stance stating ONLY IF it has been used typically in business. This weakens D significantly.
You’re doing just fine if you’ve improved ten points in 3 months. The best advice that I ran into is that the factor here is time and the way you see it. The more time you put into it, the better you will do, and while you may feel like you’re stuck, the reality could be that you need a small break and then get back to studying. It’s a process that takes time and in the curriculum it mentions that some people study for this test for a year or more to get their goal scores. Soo, my point is that at four months you’re doing really well to have increased that much, and sometimes less is more. Hope this helps!
In my experience, there have been contrapositives in every section, and they are usually the harder ranked questions. Not impossible that it could be different for this section though

I am having trouble intuiting the grammar during my initial tries on questions, and it is screwing up my timing and sometimes will catch me with trap answers. After running through the grammar section already, where should I go to drill grammar?
I can only speak from personal experience, but I find that it seems necessary to drill all the difficulties. When I drill, I typically get the hardest and easiest questions right, and find myself missing or getting stuck on the 3/4 questions because of trap answers. All the difficulties seem to be separated by content differences/type of question and not by difficulty to any given individual.
As for tips, I would say just work on your weaknesses until they become strengths, then rinse and repeat until you eventually start scoring better.
If there is any advice for this, let me know haha. I am running into the same issue
Interested!
