Regarding valid & Invalid arguments is there a list that outlines "Not flawed" arguments? For example, I know that conditional statement i.e.
A-->B
A
-----
B
if structured properly makes this a valid argument,
but are there other ways that the test-makers are testing for such as
causality...
The reason I ask is that from what I can tell so far, is that causality is a method that the test-makers use in the arguments, and yet, they are also flawed causality arguments and we are to find an answer choice that shows their error in the causal relationship.
So I'm using the term valid argument in this post loosely to better clarify my question.
Are there other methods the test-makers use to construct arguments or are there all going to be just conditional or causal?
Thanks

Hi, everyone, for question #12, why the cultural conservatism is EXEMPLIFIED by uncritical attitude ? Because the two concepts lie in two pragraphs, and I don’t see a connection/relation being explicitly specified, so why does the former is exemplified the latter?
Can anyone explain this?
As the thread topic suggests, I'm looking for a study buddy or study buddies within SF or the greater Bay Area. Preferably someone that's been through most of the curriculum (I'm more than 70% through). PM me or respond to this post. Hope to hear from you soon!
Hello everyone! I just wanted to take this time to share my experience regarding study abroad transcript so hopefully you won't have to go through the same frustration. This is a very long story but I hope it gives some guidance.
I submitted my transcript to LSAC September of this year. I ignored it for a while and focused on arranging my school list, working on my personal statement, getting LORs, etc. It wasn't until October when I noticed something wrong. On my transcript tab, it said "1 of 2 transcripts received." Listed under the missing transcript was University of Richmond so I thought that they were referring to the school I did my summer study abroad. I called LSAC and asked if I needed to submit my transcript from my study abroad even though it was only for the summer. I was told yes, however, the answer didn't set right with me because I remembered specifically not having to because it was for less than a year.
On the LSAC website, it reads:
"Do NOT have a transcript sent from an international institution IF your bachelor’s degree is from a US, US territory/associated state, or Canadian school, and
the total amount of work you completed at all international institutions combined is equal to or less than the equivalent of one year of undergraduate study in the United States, its territories/associated states, or Canada, or
your work was completed through an overseas study program that was clearly sponsored by a US, US territory/associated state, or Canadian school. In this case, the transcript must be sent by the sponsoring school."
I called again to clarify because obviously, I was getting different answers. While on the call, I was assured that I did not need to send in my transcript because it was for less than a year. Also, there was a confusion because I attended Richmond University in London and NOT University of Richmond in Virginia. They said that they will make the correction.
A week passed and I still saw U of Richmond on my transcript tab. I called LSAC again. Apparently, on my undergrad transcript it said transfer credit from "RICHMOND UNI" and so whoever handles transcripts at LSAC just put U of Richmond. Great! Problem solved. No, not quite. Turns out that Richmond University in London is an accredited American school so I did still have to send in a transcript! I ordered them right away but I'm afraid that it will not get processed fast enough to meet the early decision deadline for the school I am applying to.
Long story short, if you studied abroad at an accredited American school, you still have to send in your transcript no matter how long you went there. Also, you have to keep bugging LSAC and sometimes it takes three to five calls in order to reach any solutions.
No one showed for the early BR last week. If you’re interested in it this week, let me know and I’ll add it to the schedule.
NOTE: We’re moving Tuesday’s BR group to Wednesday to avoid all of the juicy webinars that 7Sage has scheduled for that day.
Here’s the schedule this week:

Hey guys,
There used to be an add-on option where you could just buy the materials for each section (LG, LR, RC), but now I don't see it. Is it coming back or gone forever?
Hi I live in Southern OC and have been studying for over 3 months. I am getting ready for the LSAT in sep. I have done about 85% of material, 40% prep test and about 20% of core curriculum. Let me know if we can get together. 949 302 0909 Aidin

Hey everyone
I'm planning on retaking the LSAT in June after getting a 165 in February. I could do Skype if that works for you, and my schedule is wide open. Please let me know if you're interested!
I was down to A and C, and the answer is A, but I chose C.
I'm having a difficult time understanding why A is the answer and C is wrong.
I mean I thought both could be answers.
Can someone please explain me?
Thanks!
So i wished I started preparing for the newer LG types much earlier, but anyways, any tips and suggestions for the ones where the game setup and rules aren't as obvious? Like JY said, put your pencils down and peek at the questions. Any other suggestions? They seem to be getting the better of me.
I have taken 15 PTs since the beginning of May and my scores have ranged from 170-179 with the average being a 175. I have read that this kind of variance above a 170 is not unexpected, but I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience throughout the last month or so of their prep and how did it translate on test day? I am taking the July exam, so I am feeling a bit nervous haha
I am having trouble clear printout of pT 49 , it does not seem to print sections 2, 3 and 4 clearly. Section 4 is particularly bad. I know it is not my printer since I am able to print the other PTs (60s) just fine. I am going to try 50 now.
Superprep! Get your formerly non-disclosed test on! Answer that age old question: Is it really the “Champion of LSAT preparation”?

Still feeling super iffy about taking the June LSAT. Can anyone confirm when is the last possible chance to withdraw from this test? LSAC says "June 8th 2014", so is it safe to withdraw on that day anytime before 11:59??
Thanks!
edit
For weeks, you've been focused on improving speed. Eventually, you start finishing Logical Reasoning sections with time to spare.
You feel confident until your score comes back lower than usual.
It turns out that answering questions faster didn't necessarily mean answering them better.
Is timing overrated compared to accuracy?
