This is so so cool..Dec LSAT it is and am going to ace it!
Well I didnt fall for the trap answers of D and E because those athletes are not yet aware of their cognitive abilities as the passage makes us know. For it to be right it has to be an answer choice that states that they are familiar or aware of their cognitive abilities and somehow counter the fact that they dont derive pleasure from only the cognitive ability and B does exactly that. Thoughts anyone?
For some reason, I dont know why I am tripping over this question and i frankly find it annoying! Either I need a break or CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP???
I thought that choice D was weakening the argument by allowing for an alternative- instead of refunding, plow the money into the economy via construction projects? #help
This is ROYALLY messed up! I chose C and not D! Because I thought that to assume that the cause of cancer is environmental pollution is way-way out there because envt. pollution was not mentioned. SOmehow i am not satisfied with the explanation- Can any 7Sager chip in- Anybody? Help!!!
Can someone PLEASE explain this- I chose C as the right answer and yet it was D.

So I spotted A as a trap answer choice and didnt spot D as well- actually chose D- dang! I eliminated B because I thought that for it to be right I would have to assume but then turns out to be right.
Can someone PLEase explain why E is right?
Most authors = intellectually+ emotionally inexperienced
+
Their works lacks both intricacy and focus on significant that characterizes good literature
This statement would be the context.
Hypatia latest novel is promising because it shows maturity, complexity and grace WHICH exceeded her earlier works.
It follows that if Hypatia's current promising work exceeds her earlier works, then her earlier works would also lack the intellectual and emotional experience, intricacy and focus described. It also follows that the stimulus is not comparing Hypatia's work with the others but her "promising" work with her earlier works. In essence, the stimuli is saying- Hypatia used to write crap which was generally obtainable( I mean , everyone writes crap including Hypatia) but now her "promising" work has these qualities which her earlier works didnt have.
E would be the best supported answer choice. All the other answer choices are either out of the scope of the stimuli or comparing Hypatia"s work with the other literary works.
Yay! See you on Sunday @ Sami

@ you have until the night before to withdraw but you would lose your money. I guess it's not a big deal now anyway because the takes are now unlimited. If your school only takes the highest score you're good.

My Approach to this question was quite to the point.
Chances of tropical storm increase = temperature of body of water greater than 26 Celcius depth of 60meters
^ CO2= ^ increase in temperature greater than 26celcius depth of 60 meters AND this leads to increased chance of tropical storm.
It is like a linked causal cycle sort of.
A. There are likely more tropical storms if the amount of CO2 in the earths atmosphere continues to increase.
This is true for the analysis given above. the more CO2 there is in the atmosphere, the more increase there will be of the temperature of large water bodies 26 degrees celcius and above to the depth of 60 meters which would in turn lead to the increase of more chance of tropical storm.
B. This choice misstates what was written in the stimuli as the cause of tropical storms
C. we dont know how many large bodies of water there are simply because the stimuli doesnt state anything to that effect hence this statement cannot find direct support from the stimuli.
D. we also dont know anything about the ferocity of tropical storms. Unsupported!
E.This statement takes what was stated in the stimuli and twists it around. It is not the increase in temperature of the earths oceans that cause the CO2 in the atmosphere to increase. It is the increase in the CO2 that cause the temperature of the earths oceans to increase.
@randolphportugal i hope this helps.
Great!
@ your question made you look like you were as high on caffeine as possible, red-eyed, sleep deprived and raging! LOL!
Hey @ it might look bleak, impossible a feat and dark BUT you have what it takes to ace this test. DO NOT GIVE UP! DO NOT DESPAIR! Believe you can and you will - you might need to take a break like others have suggested. just a day or two off from studying to relax and engage in a hobby you like. That might be all you need.
I feel the motivation and vibe on this chat! LSAT doesnt stand a chance- Not now, not ever! Haha! Crush it guys!
La Grande- On a streak y'all! Bring it on 5/5! yay!
Darn it! I eliminated E in BR and went for the bait A! Covfefe
This is a strengthen EXCEPT question
Year 1992- 250 rescues of mountain climbers
Cost to Government- $3 million - wow
25 fatalities from climbing mishaps.
Proposal by Task Force- Bonding arrangement in large sum to be forfeited in case of calamity.
A- The burden should not be on the taxpayers for a hobby by daredevils.
B- The government should be able to take measures that stop people from risking their lives- what measure- hefty bond.
D- The bond would make you pay more since you use public services in times of rescue than those that arent daredevil climbers
E- Daredevils should be made to pay to support their hobby since it is not beneficial to others.
C- Goes on a tangent- issuing of permits to those trained in the sport of mountain climbing. Really? It does nothing to strengthen the proposal of the task force. It actually in essence weakens it.
C is the right answer.
The perfect time to expand would be before the passenger traffic picks up. Since it was two years ago that the decline started and it takes 5 years for passenger volume to pick up and exceed its current level, it implies that we are in the third year from what the author is saying. if so, then the most logical thing to do is to initiate the expansion because of the low volume in passenger travel.Choice B is right on the money then!
@ and @ - Thats the best advice that can ever be given. @ there is no need to be in a haste really. I would suggest shifting the LSAT date to December, take time and understand the core content and work your way from there. If you expect that with some stroke of genius you"ll score high on the practice tests let alone on the exam proper, that'd be a joke. Trust me, i learnt the hard way.
You also need to focus on what is at hand- maybe youre not understanding the practice questions or maybe youre being distracted by other things. You'll get there eventually!
