Invisible man passage.

I;m sorry I read the explanation, it still makes no sense to me how A has anything to do with the lines referred to. To me C look like the best answer because it is giving tribute to the ancestors and it involves political concept and critics thought it needed politics. Answer choice A doesn't address this. It requires a huge leap, how are we suppose to guess positive effect on social conditions mean the specific social conditions (which I assume it means political action) addressed in the passage? And how is political action a social condition? that seems very odd. I am not seeing the connection between the lines cited and the answer choice here as in how they are supported.

Could someone kindly explain the reason "D" is the right answer? Thanks.

Correct me if I am wrong in my explanation.

*The kind of question this is:* Weaken

*Paraphrased question:* CARL: Legally, researchers who preform experiments on animals are required to complete detailed pain protocols indicating whether the animals will be at risk pain. Yet, when humans undergo operations, operators/doctors are not required to complete detailed pain protocols for humans.

DEBBIE: A person undergoing surgery can be told what pain they will be going through, so there is no need for a complete detailed pain protocols for humans.

*What I am looking for:* Not sure yet, but something that has to do with Debbie’s conclusion about there is no need for a complete detailed pain protocol for humans.

*Answer A:* No. That's irrelevant to what Debbie is saying. It might be true, but not what we are looking for.

*Answer B:* No. I’m sure that might be true, but does not weaken Debbie’s conclusion.

*Answer C:* No, I’m sure it’s not hard, but we are contesting whether it is necessary to have pain protocols in the first place.

*Answer D:* Yes, infants have no way of understanding pain, so complete detailed pain protocols for humans would be good.

*Answer E:* No, this has nothing to do with Debbie’s argument. Unalleviated pain after the operation is different than what pain the operation itself would cause. Whether or not to go with the operation, due to the pain it may cause without proper acknowledgement and understanding about the pain, is what is being contested here. Carl says we should have complete detailed pain protocols for animals, and Debbie says we don’t need one because humans can be told by a doctor what pain they will be going through.

I've read here that it's best to take some of the newer tests a month before so that you have more time to learn from them and adjust your methods.

I have around 35 PTs available: all of the SuperPrep, 45-50, most of the 50s, and 60+.

I'm creating a PT schedule tonight and I'd like to know the best way to order the tests. Many here have taken all of them and if you can help me out that would be great. Also do I save any for a potential retake?

Hey 7Sage, I'm having the toughest time understanding why Answer B is the correct answer for this question. In reviewing my original answer choice, D, I can understand why I was incorrect in choosing it, but am caught up between answer choices B and C. Why is B correct as opposed to C? Any feedback is appreciated!

I still don't see how B is the basis for disagreement. Otis would definitely say "yes" to answer choice B, but in my mind, Tyra gives no opinion or "yes" as well. Tyra explicitly says that she accepts Aritisotle's principle of justice, so how would she disagree with answer choice B? Where does Tyra comment on the fact that the situations aren't relevantly similar?

I eliminate B and chose D (which I really didn't like since the passage didn't talk about "asking" nor that dentists should always accept after hours appointments; why can't they accept no after hours appointments?). I just couldn't get myself to choose B.

Hi everyone, Just curious how everyone is doing the problem sets. I am reluctant to actually mark up the preptests used for the problem sets as I don't want to ruin them to use as preptests. How are you guys doing this? I can see that it is slowing me down by not writing on them (taking notes & marking the premise and conclusion) because I find myself having to go back and re-read and trying to memorize more instead. How are you guys doing this? Are you making notes on a separate piece of paper or something?

On some of the videos you use the mind map note strategy, I was wondering if you have that available for purchase?

I took the Kaplan program in July and after 3 weeks I was completely lost and virtually clueless as to how LGs were being done and LR was not any easier. After looking online for other resources I found 7sage and it was a huge help especially in LG. It seemed like no matter what I did though I could not seem to determine the game type immediately and timing was/is killing. For RC and LR the biggest flaw I found about myself is the inability to read strategically, I keeping finding myself having to re-read over and over resulting in wasted time and repeating the same mistakes.

This has to be the most stressful exam I have ever taken in my life. When I would see some of the anticipated answers that people would come up with it was a WTF moment for sure. Overall I must say that I enjoyed the challenge and whatever my score is I am ok with. The score is certainly not a result of lack of effort that's for sure.

My lowest prep test score was 136 and highest was 140, I know that Saturday's test was no better. Time to prepare for the December test though.

Any advice, comments or criticism??

The principle I thought was

Premise: Not buy-> cancel

Conclusion: feel worth preserving-> buy.

So the gap is feel worth preserving-> NOT cancel

So that's why I chose D. But the answer is B. And I can't still find out why D is wrong and B is an answer.

Am I missing something?

Please someone explain me why D is incorrect and B is an right.

Oh and what's the differences between A and B? (They look almost identical to me.)

Thanks!

I really don't understand why C is incorrect.

I think "there is another explanation~~" can match "since parthenogenesis is~" part in the stimulus.

Why is C incorrect and A an answer?

Please someone explain me.

Thanks!

I really don't understand why D is incorrect and B has to be an answer.

Some explanations said D is too broad, but I don't see how it's too broad.

I think "in the same industry" can match fax industry so that I think D is correct.

Why is D incorrect and B an answer?

Please someone explain me.

Thanks!

Hi all, I took a non disclosed test in Asia and the proctor told me they have to mail it to LSAC. Is there any way in our LSAC accounts to tell that they have received our test back from the test site and that it's pending score release? Out mail system sucks here so as if I didn't have enough stress, now I'm hoping the mailman doesn't lose it. LOL

The common understanding among law school applicants is that if you want a reasonable shot at practicing "big law" you HAVE to get T14. My questions is, why 14? I understand that you have to draw a line at some point, but I'm just wondering why its 14. Would the difference (chances getting into big law firms) between Cornell (#13) and Georgetown (#14), if there is any, be significantly different from the difference between Georgetown and UT (#15)?

I understand that it seems silly, but many people I've talked to really seem to be putting a lot of emphasis on the idea of T14. So really, two questions, to whoever either has an answer or any opinion. I am currently in the running for most of T14. I am about 90% sure I would like to work in big law, and perhaps even internationally, so geography and regional strengths are really non-factors. Would it be unreasonable to choose UCLA #16 over say the #12, 13, or 14 schools if I just like UCLA better? Also, if 14 does happen to be the magic number, how do we account for the fact that these rankings DO change, and that what's 14 today may be 16 or 17 in 3 years?

So I was planning to take my LSAT in December, but I was scoring in the 150's with BR's in the 160's, no where near my goal, so I just finally said I don't want to put myself under so much pressure for the December test, and postponed my test until Feb. I am feeling a bit stressed out considering my parents and everyone around me is nagging me to death to take the December administration so I don't take a year off, but I know this score is just way too important, considering this determines school, job prospect, and how much scholarship money I will get, to just allow their nagging to overpower common sense.

From your perspectives, do you guys fee like my decision was reasonable, or was I just paranoid and actually had enough time to study and score in the 170's by December?

Literally, No idea.

Oxygen.18 is a heavier-than-normal isotope of oxygen. In a rain cloud, water molecules containing oxygen-18 are rarer than water molecules containing normal oxygen. But in rainfall, a higher proportion of all water molecules containing oxygen-18 than of all water molecules containing ordinary oxygen descends to earth. Consequently, scientists were surprised when measurements along the entire route of rain clouds' passage from above the Atlantic Ocean, the site of their original formation, across the Amazon forests, where it rains almost daily, showed that the oxygen-18 content of each of the clouds remained fairly constant.

19. Which one of the following statements, if true, best helps to resolve the conflict between scientists' expectations, based on the known behavior of oxygen-18, and the result of their measurements of the rain clouds' oxygen-IS content?

(A) Rain clouds above tropical forests are poorer in oxygen-18 than rain clouds above unforested regions.

(B) Like the oceans, tropical rain forests can create or replenish rain clouds in the atmosphere above them.

(C) The amount of rainfall over the Amazon rain forests is exactly the same as the amount of rain originally collected in the clouds formed above the Atlantic Ocean.

(D) The amount of rain recycled back into the atmosphere from the leaves of forest vegetation is exactly the same as the amount of ram in river runoffs that is not recycled into the atmosphere.

(E) Oxygen-18 is not a good indicator of the effect of tropical rain forests on the atmosphere above them.

20. Which one of the following inferences about an individual rain cloud is supported by the passage?

(A) Once it is formed Over the Atlantic, the rain cloud contains more ordinary oxygen than oxygen-18.

(B) Once it has passed over the Amazon, the rain cloud contains a greater-than-normal percentage of oxygen-18.

(C) The clouds rainfall contains more oxygen-18 than ordinary oxygen.

(D) During a rainfall, the cloud must surrender the same percentage of its ordinary oxygen as of its oxygen-18.

(E) During a rainfall, the cloud must surrender more of its oxygen-l8 than it retains.

Hello there everyone,

happy to say that I finally got myself out of burn out and back into the "killing the lsat while riding a unicorn" mindset.

I am planning on taking the Dec 5th, LSAT (Not sure if that's a good idea or not). I did a PT before starting the 7Sage program and my baseline score was a 137 (I didn't have enough time to finish LG but I thought I was going to get a 120 so I surprised myself for an LSAT noob). I am getting through the 7Sage program slowly as I am going back and re-taking lessons and re-doing quizzes and practice questions so I 100% get it before moving on.

Anyways, I was wondering if anyone else is taking another form of LSAT prep? Like a course? (I'm in Canada so some courses we don't have here) or reading books? I've heard lots about the LSAT Trainer and the Powerscore LG Bible and I will be taking a LG weekend course in Toronto in Nov.

Just wanted to get some opinions as I kind of feel like the 7Sage program might not be enough. I did buy the Kaplan books last year but I find them very hard to follow and haven't heard good things about the Kaplan program so I want to keep my LSAT mind away from any bad habits Kaplan would get me in.

Thanks :)

Hello! I just got my Academic Summary report back from LSAC and it has recalculated my GPA to be far higher than my university lists it as. The policy differs from college to college within my university, but mine doesn't count grades received from performing and visual arts classes into our GPA's. The arts classes must be taken for credit and the grade is shown on my official transcript, so LSAC went ahead and added them to my GPA. (It's kind of nice I guess because one of my ensembles is pretty demanding and eats up between 10 - 20 hours a week of my time. I love it, but it's challenging at times with work/class.)

Do you think I'll need to write an addendum to explain the discrepancy? Also, I know they'll get my university transcript anyways, so is the boost pointless?

So I did about 8 games today and maybe 3-4 I made the dumbest mistakes and didn't catch them until AC just weren't working right for me. Each time I noticed that a rule would say something like P is in the same group as S. W and Y cannot be in the same group as G, but I'll actually write a completely different letter that's sometimes not even part of the game! Or I'm reading W but I'll write with complete confidence Y. Like wth!! I'm not even burned out. I took a break Saturday and Sunday. I noticed I kept doing the same crap so I was more focused on reading the rules the next time around. The rule said must and I swear I read can't, or vice versa!!! What in the world is happening here??!

I'm on my 5th PT, and I've ranged from 156-159 with about 8/9 in LR, 6/7 LG errors, and 7 RC errors on average. My blind review scores are upper 160s. Most of my wrong ? types are Flaws, SA, NA's. Is my best bet to continue PT and drill flaws, NA, SA on my off days? Further, I am concerned that I am scoring low...will my score increase with more familiarity or am I missing some fundamentals possibly. Thanks!

This is very subjective given that everyone is different. For me, when I see that the stimulus is long, I tend to skip and attempt to come back because I am not a very fast reader.

My question is, does this seem like a fairly good approach, or are there some signals that I am overlooking to determine if a question is more so on the difficult side?

I understand how E is correct, but what makes A incorrect?

Doesn't Cynthia think that if a project seeks to further our theoretical understanding, then it should get government funding? And Luis think that Get government funding only if expected to yield practical applications?

Answer choice A says that pure theoretical research should get funding (which C would agree with), but the research might have unforeseen practical applications (which means that the practical applications are not expected). So, doesn't this meet the sufficient condition for C and fail the necessary condition for L? How would they not disagree on this?

ive been studying lsat for a year already (approximately 1-2 hrs a day). My initial pt score is 153, and after 3-4 months I got around 160. However the score just doesn't go up anymore. I about to take the test on dec. 6th so I have literally 2 months left. My target in dec is 165+. Is that reasonable?

I just purchased this course 5 days ago and I found this course really useful but, I've already wasted all the pts (40-75). So I don't know how to follow the schedule of this course in a smarter way in this case.

I quit my job few days ago so now I have 8 hrs ago (!!!)

Anybody who got similar experience or anybody who has any idea about what should I do now?

I'm about to enroll in 7Sage and I've been going through the free-trial as of now, however I’m a bit confused on the phase 2 part of the Memory Method - do you do it again with the same passage immediately after you finished going through all the questions for that passage using the phase 1 technique?

Or is it like so:

Passage 1: Phase 1 technique

Passage 2: Phase 2 technique

Passage 3: Phase 1 technique

Passage 4: Phase 2 technique

Then come back and re-do all of them using only the Phase 2 technique?

Because if we do a passage once then go right back to it with the second phase method, wouldn’t we memorize a lot of the details/answers unless there’s a certain amount of time you recommend to wait before doing the second phase?

Thanks.
