Can someone explain how they were able to tease out the conditional elements in this stimulus?

I'm having trouble seeing how the second sentence fits into the conditional framework. It doesn't seem like it plays a role there.

All I can see with this, and it leads you straight to the answer, is:

Sentence 1: PPS-->MA

Conclusion: SA-->MA

Answer A: SA-->PPS

The negation didn't help me here since I didn't understand the conditional language at first, which is why I picked the wrong answer. If someone can explain why the negation would hurt the conclusion here, I'd be very grateful. Thank you.

Aidin Again,

As the deadline is getting closer and I am getting busier with the LSAT I am looking for someone in Orange County or southern california area that can help me with picking schools, sending applications, looking over my material, help me with personal statement and etc. This would help tremendously by taking some weight off my shoulder with this application process. We could discuss donation amount depending on the quality and the amount of work the person is capable of. If you or anyone you know does this please send me his/her info to me Firouziaidin@gmail.com.

Thank you !

Hi! I am looking for a dedicated accountability partner or group that is aiming for the 160-170s and plans to take the Sep/Oct/Nov LSAT. I took a diagnostic in May and scored a 143 and I have been studying for about a month since then. Please reach out to me and I would love to get connected and come up with some sort of study plan and accountability check-in. I am also open to meet on zoom or google meet sometimes as well. I am located EST.

I plan to apply to law schools in the fall of 2023. I don't plan to take the LSAT until the summer of 2023, but I've seen a lot of news on the past application cycle and this application cycle having large quantities of high-scoring applicants (thought to be because of the online version of the LSAT). In general, my question is this: Do many people take the LSAT then sit on their score and apply in later cycles? I ask because I wonder if this large quantity of high scorers will affect the difficulty of the 2023 application cycle.

Anyone who has done or is currently doing the admissions course with 7 Sage? if so, what are your experiences? Strengths? Weaknesses? Likes or Dislikes? Comments? I am specifically looking for help on my personal statement provided by the course. I am contemplating purchasing the $200 package with the full course and the one time edit. I would love any type of feedback before I am make my decision!

Im finding that Im having trouble passing quizzes (as in getting the results that i desire) at the end of a given section. Im really good at solving the questions correctly while practicing- as in pausing the video before JY explains it so that i can figure out the answer myself. But for some reason during the quiz section, Im not as good. To remedy this, I was wondering that as Ive completed each section, that I should use the practice exams to practice out those specific types of questions and to look at the video explanation for each of those questions. Would anyone suggest this? Has anyone tried this in the past? Please help!

Thanks.

Group BR is awesome, but feel free to disagree with me. I’d hate to create an environment of Groupthink.

Wednesday, November 18th at 8PM ET: PT54

DON’T FORGET TO CLICK THIS LINK: https://join.skype.com/w7McAagFN3pf

IF YOU DON’T CLICK THIS LINK YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE BR GROUP

Note:

  • For the newbies: Add me on Skype, using handle dmlevine76 and PM your email for Google Hangout.

  • For the regulars: If for some reason you're not in the group conversation[s] already, just message me on Skype.

  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able; join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.

  • Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it."

  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).

  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via Skype and intellectually slaughter each test.

    I am thinking of starting a small (in-person) study group starting Nov. 1st

    Time: Twice a week for 5 weeks

    (Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday) can be changed

    Location: A study cafe in Seoul (the cost will be shared equally)

    We will take "timed" practice tests 62-71 under simulated conditions (I find this to be the best practice)

    Blind review will be done individually at home

    Come back with additional questions and we will try to help ourselves by helping each other

    Most importantly, I would like all of us to be a positive influence

    providing good moral support as well as holding each other accountable throughout the treacherous LSAT journey

    If anyone is interested, leave me a comment

    And I will organize the Kakao Group Chat :)

    Proctors: Two easygoing proctors. They want you to do well so they are worried that there are no distractions (such as, people coughing/sneezing too much, noise outside the classroom, and people with annoying tics). Proctors do not mind if you take a couple of more seconds (after time is up) to finish with the section (they even wait for you:)

    Facilities: Restrooms are kind of far from the classrooms (but if you run to your way there and your way back, you are just fine! The running also help you to release stress).

    Kind of Classroom: small classroom

    How many in the classroom: 20 (we all have a lot of space in between us)

    Desk: Fabric tablet arm chair (very comfortable; your buns won't hurt after being seated for 5 hours).

    Left Handed Accommodation: There were two people who were accommodated accordingly.

    Noise Level: The classrooms that were assigned for LSAT purposes were isolated from main hallways, food courts, or populated areas. LSAT takers were in classrooms that were close to each other. In other words, no noise.

    Parking: Free, plentiful, very close to the area where we had to meet before going to our corresponding classrooms.

    Time elapsed from arrival to test: 1h 15m. Got there at 7:30 AM, we started the exam at 8:45 AM

    Irregularities/mishaps: None. All the proctors were very efficient and super nice.

    Dates of Exam: June 2015 and October 2015

    Other Comments: I love the atmosphere at Broward College; you can feel the positive energy, which really helped me that day because I didn't sleep well, I was nervous and had a lot of anxiety. Proctors were very friendly and you can feel that they want you to do well. I highly recommend Broward College, Coconut Creek, Florida

    Hi everybody! I wanted to see if anyone around the Tucson area would be interested in studying for the LSAT in June. I would prefer to study in-person; however, I'm fine doing it digitally too. So, if anyone is interested just put a comment below and can create a groupme.

    Hello there! I am nearly done with my AA and going to be starting my BA soon (Note: I'm in my 30s, I work fulltime and go to school, so I'm going through my college journey later than most). I know I want to take the LSATs in my junior year during my BA, so will likely not be taking it for 2 to 2 and half years from now, but I am a horrible test taker so I feel more comfortable studying long term and as a result I would like to find/make a study group for those who want to long term study as well. At the moment I am reading/self-studying The LSAT Trainer (3rd edition), with the 10 Actuals Vol VI. I'm looking for either an etablished community, or to establish a community of people to study with for the next few years.

    My thoughts are that the November test will allow me to become familiar with the testing center (the physical environment) as well as the time constraints and noise that is hard to replicate 100% by myself just to be on the safe side. The con is the admissions committee viewing a cancelled score unfavorably on my application, and potential waste of time and resources. I plan to take the January test after studying hard for 2 months. Thank you so much in advance for your responses!

    I would like to discuss the LSAT maker's rationale under this question and its corresponding sentence (in line 30-31).

    It seems obvious that in line 30-31 the reduced clause--"considered by programmers to be unimportant."--is to make the correct answer of Q4 more reasonable and obvious for test-takers.

    But it looks to me that (E) still makes sense even if the reduced clause is scratched off.

    If so, then what is the test maker's purpose to add the reduced clause? I would find it very surprising if the only purpose is to give us a head-up that soundtrack referred to in line 30 is intentionally emphasized.

    How do you think? Any insights or comments would be very appreciated.

    thanks.

    I can't understand why C is the right answer.

    I mean if Stilgoe's case would have been stronger if he used these sources then would that it indicate that their view was more negative towards the railroad then the other writers?

    Based on this reason, that's why I chose E, but it turns out E is wrong.

    I'm stuck in this question.

    Can anyone tell me how C is right and E can't be an answer?

    Thanks!
